SAVE WATER! At ONLY $179.95, the eco-friendly Hot Water Lobster Instant Hot Water Valve provides faster hot water which saves water, saves energy and saves time. How long does it take for hot water to get to your faucet or shower? A lot of precious water is wasted down the drain while waiting for hot water. Even worse is the cost to heat the cold replacement water, which enters your house at the cold ground temperature.

HOW IT WORKS! When the water in your pipes and the Hot Water Lobster control valve cools below the user adjustable temperature (77-140 F. degrees), the thermal materials within the Hot Water Lobster control valve contract and silently open the valve. Thermal convection within your hot water tank (differential of pressure between the top of the tank and the bottom of the tank) naturally circulates the cooled water through your existing water pipes and back to your hot water tank for reheating. Your hot water tank now uses less energy by reheating the warm water instead of cold ground temperature water. When hot water reaches the Hot Water Lobster control valve, the valve automatically closes. This maintains hot water at the control valve without wasting water or wasting energy. Turn on your faucet or shower and you get instant hot water instead of wasting water down the drain! Installing the Hot Water Lobster instant hot water control valve at the fixture furthest from your hot water tank (as shown in the installation diagram) will provide faster hot water to all of the fixtures in your house.


NO ELECTRICITY NECESSARY! The Hot Water Lobster is all mechanical and designed to provide an electricity free solution to maintain hot water at the tap. This makes installation a snap (less than 10 minutes). Other hot water solutions require the use of electricity and pumps that make installation difficult and the pumps are often noisy and wear out in 2-4 years.


MORE HOT WATER! Adds as much as 10% more capacity to your current hot water system (by keeping the water stored in your hot water pipes hot!).


KEEP PIPES FROM FREEZING! The Hot Water Lobster instant hot water valve automatically allows water in your pipes to circulate when the control valve cools below the set temperature (even if your electricity goes out).


REDUCES CONDENSATION! The Hot Water Lobster instant hot water valve reduces condensation on pipes and toilets basins.


MAINTENANCE FREE! The Hot Water Lobster has a solid brass valve body with an adjustable thermal controlled stainless steel valve stem enclosed in a mounting box.


EASY INSTALLATION! The Hot Water Lobster comes complete with the mounting box, 4 sets of 12" flexible water lines with standard brass fittings. All pre-assembled and tested for an easy 10-minute installation.


STATISTICS! *A typical family wastes approximately 12,000-17,000 gallons of water annually waiting for warm water to reach the tap. *as determined by GAMA (Gas Appliance Manufactures Association).


Note: Circulation of water by thermal convection must not be restricted (no check-valves) between the water heater tank and the Hot Water Lobster Instant Hot Water Valve.

Saving Energy Is Getting Easier!



There's never enough energy to waste! Many environmental savvy consumers are learning how to conserve energy - how to make thoughtful choices about ways use less energy.


We all realize how important it is to not waste energy. Using high energy demands at “off peak” times will help in balancing overall power consumption on the electrical distribution grid (so as not to over burden the grid system which may create electrical black out periods).


Don't leave lights on when no one is in the room. If you are going to be out of the room for more than five minutes, turn off the light. If you know of a light that everyone forgets to turn off, make a sticker or a sign to hang next to the switch that says "Lights Out!" or "Don't Forget!" Where possible, use fluorescent light bulbs. Those funny-looking bulbs produce the same amount of light by using 1/4 of the electricity. Plus, they last for years and years without burning out.


Turn off the TV when no one is watching it. The same goes for computers, radios and stereos - if no one using it, turn it off. Turn off all the appliances at the surge protector/control strip - that four- or six-plug extension chord that you plug all your computer things into. Some devices, like modems or other networking boxes are drawing small amounts of power all the time.


In warm weather (when using air conditioning), set the thermostat to at least 78 F degrees. (Don't do this, of course, if it will cause health problems for anyone in your family.) When no one is home, set the thermostat at 85 degrees. That way, you'll reduce the need for air conditioning and you will save energy. If you have ceiling fans or other fans, turn them on. The blowing air can make you feel 5 degrees cooler, without running the family's air conditioner. Fans use a lot less electricity than air conditioners!


In cold weather, wear warm clothing and set your thermostat no higher than 68 F degrees (health permitting). When you go to sleep at night, set the thermostat even cooler. When you leave home for an extended time, set the thermostat at 55 degrees. That way, your family can save from 5 percent to 20 percent on your heating costs.


Americans tend to use much more energy than necessary to heat their homes. That accounts for a lot of wasted energy! If you have a fireplace, close the damper when you don't have a fire burning. An open fireplace damper can let 8 percent of heat from your furnace escape through the chimney! In the summer, an open fireplace damper can let cool air escape. It's like having a window open!


Make a map of your home, and mark all the windows, heating vents, and outside doors. Take a ribbon and hold it up to the edges of the doors and windows. If the ribbon blows, you've found a leak! Seal the leak with caulk or weather stripping.


Think about your curtains. Keeping the curtains closed on cold, cloudy days helps block the cold outside air from getting inside. Also, keeping the curtains closed on very hot days keeps the hot air out!


Turn off your electric blanket when you aren't in bed.


Wasting water wastes energy. Why? Because the biggest use of electricity in most cities is supplying water and cleaning it up after it's been used!


About 75 percent of the water we use in our homes is used in the bathroom. Unless you have a low flush toilet, for example, you use about five gallons to seven gallons of water with every flush! A leaky toilet can waste more than 10,000 gallons of water a year.


Drippy faucets are bad, too. A faucet that leaks enough water to fill a soda bottle every 30 minutes will waste 2,192 gallons of water a year.


For better conservation to save energy and save water Hot Water Lobster Instant Hot Water Valves are eco-friendly and designed to eliminate the wait for hot water and conserve that wasted water (which would normally be ran down the drain). Hot water re-circulation systems keep a constant supply of hot water in the pipes, circulating the water back to the water heater for reheating. This allows the consumer to have faster hot water whenever it is needed without the wait or waste. This not only saves the energy required to heat ground temperature water (replacing the wasted water down-the-drain), it also saves the average family up to 17,000 gallons of water a year.


Another simple way to save water and energy is to take shorter showers. You'll use less hot water - and water heaters account for nearly 1/4 of your home's energy use.


A load of dishes cleaned in a dishwasher uses 37 percent less water than washing dishes by hand! However, if you fill up one side of the sink with soapy water and the other side with rinse water - and if you don't let the faucet run - you'll use half as much water as a dishwasher does. Doing the dishes this way can save enough water for a five-minute shower!


If you need to warm up or defrost small amounts of food, use a microwave instead of the stove to save energy. Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens do. For large meals, however, the stove is usually more efficient. In the summer, using a microwave causes less heat in the kitchen, which saves money on air conditioning.


Don't keep the refrigerator door open any longer than you need to. Close it to keep the cold air inside! Also, make sure the door closes securely. There is a rubber-like seal around the door that you can test. Just close the door on a dollar bill, and then see how easy it is to pull out. If the dollar slides out easily, the door is probably leaking cold air from inside.


Is there an old refrigerator sitting in the garage or someplace else at home? Old refrigerators are real energy hogs! An old refrigerator could be costing your family as much as $120 a year to operate. Remove it or replace it with an energy efficient model…one large refrigerator is cheaper to run than two smaller ones.


Remember saving water saves energy. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean off the driveway, patio or deck - this will save hundreds of gallons of water each year.



How To Prevent Pipes From Freezing



If you've ever had the misfortune of having a water pipe freeze and burst, you know first hand about what a devastating impact it can have on your home. The broken pipe itself is actually relatively minor, but the damage caused by the leaking water running through your walls and ceiling can mean a major reconstruction project, requiring replacing drywall, ceilings and maybe even furniture and appliances. Here are some ways to make sure you never have to go through that hassle.


1. Plan ahead and figure out which pipes could potentially freeze. Water pipes running through unheated crawl spaces and pipes running through walls to the outside are prime candidates for freezing.


2. Turn off the water supply lines running to your outside taps before the cold weather arrives. There is usually a shut off valve in the water supply line close to where it goes through the outside wall. Once the water is shut off inside, go outside and open the outside taps as well. This will drain any water remaining in the pipe or in the tap, so there's nothing to freeze.


3. Check any pipes that run close to outside walls. Put some insulation between the pipe and the wall to help keep the cold away from the pipe.


4. Insulate any pipes that run through unheated crawl spaces. Wrap them with insulation and tape or put preformed pipe sleeve insulation along the pipes, then tape the sleeves in place.


5. Install electrical heating tape (available at home stores) on any pipes that run through areas that get really cold, like garages.


6. OR, simply an innovative and patented technology known as a “temperature controlled hot water recirculating valve” (it’s a breeze to install-no pipe cutting, soldering or electrical connections). It uses your existing water pipes and the thermal convection generated by your water heater to keep water circulating back to your water heater for reheating (not requiring a pump or any electricity). Warm circulating water will not freeze. These systems are temperature-controlled and are easily adjustable to meet your particular temperature needs. There is no water waste and it also reduces the energy required to heat your water while it provides instant hot water to your faucets and showers.
