EcoFlo: Saving Every Drop One Circuit at a Time

The global water crisis is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century, with approximately 2.1 billion people lacking access to clean water. Water waste, particularly in domestic hot water usage, exacerbates the problem by reducing water availability, especially in regions already facing water scarcity. This research presents Ecoflo, a sustainable, energy- free solution designed to optimize water usage in households with solar water heating systems. The Ecoflo system consists of a recirculation pump that allows cold water to be cycled back into the system until it reaches the desired temperature, thus reducing water waste. This study focuses on assessing the system’s efficiency in saving water, its ease of installation, and its environmental impact. A pilot study conducted in 20 households in Jordan, a country with severe water scarcity, measured water usage before and after installing the Ecoflo system. Preliminary results indicate significant reductions in water waste, suggesting that Ecoflo can be an effective solution for improving water conservation in residential settings. This research contributes valuable insights into decentralized water management solutions and aligns with global sustainability goals, particularly the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.
