Image: DEVISelf-limiting cable on hot water pipes keeps water at temperature right to the tap, so hot water arrives immediately. It allows a single-pipe system with no return loop, and supports disinfection for Legionella control.
Benefits and advantages
- Hot water at every tap immediately, reducing water waste
- Single-pipe system with thermally controlled, disinfected hot water at the tap
- Lower initial cost than a recirculating system: fewer pipes, less insulation and labour
