ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a water conservation system that provides instant hot water at a user's sink. The system includes a backflow line positioned between the cold water line and a thermal switch. A check valve is placed in the backflow line to prevent hot water from entering the cold water supply. A thermal switch that contacts the flow of water is used to give a more accurate measurement of the hot water temperature. This system prevents large quantities of warm water from being pumped into the cold water supply.
