Circulating pumps move water through pipes to prevent freezing and provide quick access to hot water. During the summer months, temperatures stay well above freezing, so the risk of pipes freezing is very low. Because of this, turning off the pump in the summer can help reduce power usage and wear on the system. In Nome, this seasonal approach is practical, cost-effective, and based on real local experience.

As fall approaches and temperatures begin to drop, it’s important to turn the circulating pump back on. This helps protect pipes from freezing during the long, cold winter months; but let’s not think about that and let’s ENJOY OUR SUMMER!
