[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 333507, member: 337"] So - here's the effect of my gravity loop. The green usage is "normal" electricity meter - and the orange is the off-peak meter that measures only my water heater (in the winter anyway). [ATTACH=CONFIG]51950._xfImport[/ATTACH] Guess what day I turned the valve on for my gravity loop? Turns out that 3/4" return line is maybe overkill - Ima close the valve part way and see if that doesn't calm things down. ;:;rofl [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] January 2021 we used 7 KWH/day on water heater. = $21.12 January 2022 we used 14 KWH/day on water heater. = $33.40 [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] looks like my gravity circulator uses more hot water to heat the house than we use each day to shower, wash cloths, etc. ;:;rofl In the winter... meh, I don't care (it's heat, so it’s not wasted).
