Yes, we know the drill.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is \u201cI am thankful for my family\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is\u201cI am thankful for running water and a roof over my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

And of course, Thanksgiving is always \u201cI am thankful\u2014goodness, so<\/em> thankful<\/em>\u2014 for this meal in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that any of this is untrue\u2014you only say it because you mean it! But you know what\u2019s funny? You\u2019re being pretty dang thankful for hot water<\/em> without ever even acknowledging it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"turkey\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because your family stays healthy because of\u2026well, hot water.<\/em> That\u2019s what cleans their hands, cleans their bodies, and cleans their clothes. Hot water is what takes the bad bacteria off of your loved ones.<\/p>\n

Because water of any temperature is incredibly useful\u2026 but it\u2019s probably hot<\/em> water that you\u2019re praying for as you turn the knob for your morning shower, am I right? To anyone who knows what it\u2019s like to go without, you know it\u2019s one of the most luxurious perks of being under a roof.<\/p>\n

Because the meal in front of you could<\/em> have been prepared for you without it\u2026 but dang, that would have been a toughie without hot water. And probably not sanitary (to be honest, cooking without it would be what threatens your family\u2019s health!)<\/p>\n

So yeah,\u00a0Hot water is the unsung hero of the household<\/strong> that we often get mad at\u2014 \u00a0we\u2019re relieved when it arrives, but we\u2019re annoyed until it does. We either get irritated that we wait forever, or we accept this water waste as normal. And we hardly ever, ever <\/em>thank it.<\/p>\n

Not to make you reflect too hard during the holiday, but\u2026 isn\u2019t wasting water a pretty ungrateful thing to do?<\/em> Especially when there\u2019s a beautiful way to prevent it.<\/p>\n

And “beautiful” doesn’t so much refer to the\u00a0aesthetic value of an ACT D\u2019MAND Kontrols\u00ae System (although as far as black boxes go, it\u2019s quite the looker). No, the\u00a0\u201cbeautiful\u201d acknowledges the genuine good it brings the world. The tri-fold saving of energy, water, and money. The duplicity of instantly<\/em> getting hot water to every fixture in the home in seconds while simultaneously<\/em> giving back to the environment at every twist of the knob.<\/p>\n

\"thanksgiving\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some quick Thanksgiving Fun Facts, shall we?<\/p>\n

Your house (yes, YOURS) loses a minimum of 20 gallons per day due to waiting for it to turn “warm enough”.<\/p>\n

You (yes, YOU) pay a bill each month for all the energy and electricity your home consumes, even when you\u2019re not there or awake to use it.<\/p>\n

You, (yes, very much you<\/em>) are emitting 3,000lbs a year of carbon dioxide from your continuous hot water distribution system.<\/p>\n

But before you get defense\u2026 we realize you didn\u2019t know! We\u2019re so blessed (and sometimes cursed) to have technology constantly bombarding us in the form of new screens, we forget that world-changing innovations hide in our plumbing, too. There\u2019s technology out there that doesn\u2019t depreciate in value, which lasts 20 years, that saves you the $300 you lose to un-used water and electricity. There\u2019s technology that saves around 7,000-10,000 gallons of water each year, and it\u2019s easy to install in your home. And the grand total of running it? Less than a dollar per year.<\/p>\n

Because Thanksgiving is a time to realize all that\u2019s been saved is a blessing. A time to acknowledge all the positive ways you\u2019ve spent. And a time to recognize where the changes to occur: where you could be saving, where you shouldn\u2019t be spending.<\/p>\n

To Invest in the Future\u00ae is one of the most grateful things you can do this season: for you family, for your home, for your blessings, for your world. ACT D\u2019MAND Kontrols\u00ae is the tool to help you operate such warmth.
