SANTA ROSA · GUIDE 21

Define the wait problem before adding recirculation

A recirculation system can address hot-water wait, but it adds pumps, controls, return or crossover paths, energy use, and maintenance.

DECISION GUIDE 21

Make the next action fit the evidence

Use the condition described here to narrow the first safe action, the responsible contact, and the written authorization.

Do not pay for certainty that the observable pattern does not support.
OBSERVE

Preserve the useful clues

Measure wait time and wasted draw at priority fixtures. Map the heater, branch length, available return, power, controls, and household schedule.

  • Write the time, fixture, room, and use that preceded the change.
  • Photograph the wider context before taking a detail view.
  • Keep model labels, bills, prior repair records, and test results together.
CONTAIN

Choose the safe boundary

Check Santa Rosa Water’s current program information before claiming an incentive. Do not run a pump continuously by default.

Containment should reduce harm without erasing evidence or transferring risk to gas, electricity, wastewater, finishes, or utility equipment.

AUTHORIZE

Put the first scope in writing

Require pump, controls, check valves, crossover or return, insulation, electrical work, commissioning, temperature, and user instructions.

  • Ask what is included, excluded, and still unknown.
  • Set the price or authorization boundary before work expands.
  • Define the test or record that will show completion.
