Get Hot Water in Seconds, Not Minutes

In millions of homes every day people
turn the hot water tap, then wait several
minutes for the water to get hot.

They waste 3-7 gallons of cold water every time, which adds up to 10,000 to 14,000 gallons of water per year needlessly going down the drain.

The Green Solution for Hot Water

What if you could push a button and make hot water come from the faucet in 30 seconds or less, without wasting any water? You can, with a little-known device Berkey’s recommends, the Metlund® Hot Water D'MAND® System. You save green while going green.

Some homes are built with extra plumbing that keeps hot water circulating all the time, so it’s ready when you need it. It’s easy to build this kind of system into a new home, but difficult and expensive to add later.

The Metlund D’MAND system effectively makes any home plumbing system a recirculating one through use of a sophisticated pump, valve and sensor package. It’s a triumph in green plumbing.

This compact device can be installed easily in a small space under a sink. There’s nothing else required!

Here’s how it works:

• You press a button to activate the  pump (can also be activated by motion detector)
• The pump immediately pulls cold water sitting in the hot water line and sends it back to the water heater (tankless or tank-type) through the cold water line
• The sensor automatically shuts off the pump and closes the zone valve when hot water arrives in 15-30 seconds.
• You have hot water as soon as you turn on the tap, no water wasted!
