Floor plan single-family house 141 sqm - obvious weaknesses?

I hadn’t even considered the hot water storage tank... The consequence would then be that it takes a few seconds for the water, for example in the shower, right?

Hello,

that does not necessarily have to be the case.

Nowadays, so-called circulation pumps are usually installed in new houses, which pump the hot water through the pipes so that warm water is always available at every outlet point.

However, that of course consumes energy – on the one hand electricity for the pump, and on the other hand, (a bit of) heat is naturally lost in the water.

However, these circulation pumps also come with a timer, or, as a comfort version, even with an intelligent, self-learning control system that remembers when you usually need hot water based on the consumed hot water and then only maintains circulation during those times.

If, of course, you shower off schedule, for example in the middle of the night, then it takes a few seconds until warm water is there.

Overall, though, like so many things, it’s also a matter of personal belief…

Do I want to spend more money on a smart pump, do I want warm water immediately everywhere and anytime, or do I not care if I generally have to wait a few seconds for warm water...

Regards,

Dirk

The distances shown here are not just a matter of a few seconds, and an intelligent pump is hygienic upper manure.

With the distances shown here, it’s not just a matter of a few seconds and an intelligent pump is hygienic nonsense.

Aha, interesting.

Would you like to explain to me what is supposed to be "hygienic nonsense" about an intelligent pump?

Standing water - Legionella. According to aRdT, circulation may be interrupted for a maximum of 8 hours per day. Personally, I would keep it running, it doesn’t save that much anyway.

You can be sure that a modern pump also complies with these requirements.

Our pump, for example, runs for a certain period at least every 2 or 3 hours (I'm not entirely sure anymore) and ensures sufficient circulation.

Does that mean everyone without a pump is at risk of Legionella?
