The Flow Pilot Information

Kim Haws, the inventor of FlowPilot®, has worked on energy-saving inventions for more than thirty years. He first got the idea for a device to save energy in heating water when he was ill. While washing his hands he began to wonder where the warm water still in the pipes went when he turned off the faucet. Out of that curiosity came The Hot Water Saver in 1979. A Battelle Memorial Institute study funded by the Department of Energy demonstrated that the device has tremendous potential for saving energy, but lack of technology prevented The Hot Water Saver from going to market at that time. Kim couldnt give up on the goal of making the water heating and distribution system more energy efficient. In the years since The Hot Water Saver ended production he has worked hard to improve the design and to resolve the technical issues. The FlowPilot® System is a direct descendant of The Hot Water Saver. It is now automated, built of modern alloys and flexible composite materials. It is a reliable performer that uses mechanical analogue controls. There is no pump, motor or electrical power supply. Kim is a lifelong inventor and entrepreneur. He owns both Agri-Trac Inc., Mesa Machine and FlowPilot®, He invented and developed the Agri-Trac to provide traction control solutions for center pivot irrigation systems worldwide. Kim grew up near Connell, WA on a family farm. He is a talented engineer and inventor with the gift of expert craftsmanship. He was educated at BYU and served a church mission in Alabama and Georgia. Kim patented the first Hot Water Saver in 1979 and has been working on improving it in the years since. Kim has a vision to save energy one home and one small business at a time. He envisions a network that will increase the efficiency of the entire energy grid. Kim and his wife Susan live in Richland Washington. They enjoy traveling to Mexico and Hawaii and spending time with their grandchildren. They are active in their church and involved in community service. Kim is curious and industrious by nature and ...
