Have you checked with your local utility company yet about rebates and tax credits available to you for choosing energy efficient HVAC equipment? The product experts at Pump Products suggest that now might be a good time. Going green can save you green when it comes to heating your home. Consider Laing’s D5 Solar Circulating Pump. This small, ultra-efficient unit connects directly to a solar (photovoltaic) panel and can run off of as little as 1 watt, increasing in speed and performance as the solar panel’s output increases. It’s maximum power consumption is 22 watts, or less than a third of the wattage required by an average light bulb.

The pump’s patented spherical motor is designed with a permanent magnet rotor/impeller that is it’s only moving part. There are no conventional shaft bearings or seals so there is no bearing noise, no seal leaks.

The D5 Solar Pump comes with an integrated over-temperature safety mechanism that powers down the pump when fluid temperatures rise above 230°F.  When the temperature falls below 203°F the pump resumes normal functioning.  Even after prolonged shut-down the D5 will start reliably.

For domestic hot water and heating water, this economical and powerful pump it worth its weight in green.

The website DsireUSA.org lists efficiency rebates by state. For example, in New Jersey PSE&G, in concert with New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program (NJCEP), provides a range of incentives for new equipment and energy efficiency measures in residences. .
