The system 1, for use with a hot water supply system, includes a diverting means 3 for automatically drawing off a volume of water from the supply system upon demand from a user. The volume is diverted to one or more storage reservoirs 4 for subsequent use. The diverting means 3 may include a motorized valve 5 operable by a timer 6. The diverting means may be switched off when a predetermined criterion is met such as an average water temperature, a preset time or a predetermined volume of water. The system may be installed in a domestic dwelling 2 with the storage reservoir 4 disposed in the roof space 16 of the dwelling. Alternatively, the storage reservoirs may be disposed externally of the dwelling and may be below ground level. |
