All very good things.But the wait for hot water cannot be resolved with a new energy efficient technology. The best solution is to install a recirc pump at the water heater and a bridge valve underneath the furthest sink between the hot and cold lines so that the pump can push the cool water in your hot water line back into the cold water line.The pump should be activated by turning on a hot water faucet and it should be turned off when the faucet is turned off. Leaving a pump running full time or even part time when there is no water usage is not good for the water pipes or the Concealed Faucet pump.If you are interested in saving money on your energy costs, tankless water heaters may be the way to go. But if you are trying to get hot water faster, you will need to do more than just heat it in a new way.One of the most obvious and easy ways to save some extra cash is to change some of the way you use products and items in your everyday life.

The key is to make minor changes.For instance, always buy the cheapest hand soap you can find. The quality doesnt necessarily go up with the price and you can use it in place of bath soap.Always use the whole product. Turn bottles upside down and drain to get the last bit from them. Tear open sugar and flour sacks to get everything; squeeze or cut open tubes to use it all before running out to buy more. Youll be surprised at how much there really is left! Also, never use more than you need. Just because it says on the box that you need a full cup, doesnt mean that you really do it need it. Half a measure of laundry detergent and a half teaspoon of dish soap are examples of what are usually enough, rather than what the manufacturer says.To save some cash, you can use some of the things in your house in some unique ways. Instead of spending lots of money on the fancy floor cleaners, try using ammonia. It does a great job, and you can use plain water in between times. If your furniture needs some polishing, mix equal parts of white vinegar and vegetable oil and rub on the furniture. Buff with a cloth until it shines. For a freezer bag, use empty chip bags and close with masking taps.

Also try a bowl with a lid, such as a margarine tub.If your skin is feeling a little dry, there are several substitutes for expensive lotion. Petroleum jelly rubbed into your hands at night after a warm water soak, mayonnaise (rinse w/ cold water after), or any other oil based food. Just be sure to put it on immediately after your hands have been in water.To save some money on laundry, dissolve a bar of handsoap in water to replace laundry detergent. Add three gallons of hot water, mix thoroughly and add a cup of washing soda.Sure, these are small changes, but added up, they can put some extra change into your pocket throughout the year!
