How to calculate recirculation pump savings
This calculator finds savings from a recirculation pump by applying a savings percentage to baseline water cost — recirculation pumps reduce wasted water otherwise lost waiting for hot water to arrive at the tap.
How the calculation works
Savings = Baseline water cost × (Savings percentage ÷ 100).
Example
A $300 annual baseline water cost with a 15% estimated savings from recirculation: 300×0.15 = $45/year.

Pro Tips for Recirculation Pump Savings
- Savings percentage depends on how far fixtures are from the water heater and how often hot water is used — homes with long pipe runs typically see larger savings.
- Factor in the recirculation pump's own energy cost when evaluating overall net savings, since the pump itself uses some electricity.
Common Recirculation Pump Savings Mistakes to Avoid
- Calculating water savings without also accounting for the recirculation pump's own energy consumption, which offsets some of the net benefit.
