That's clever! Thanks for sharing :beer:

Any idea how the pump is set to operate? They don't need much energy to run. In fact, manufactureres will say it only costs a few dollars per year to have hot water at every tap. What they don't tell you is that the (typically cold) water they send back to the heater is going to make your water...

Tankless water heaters at the point of use certainly add convenience. The heat pump system I just installed has a uniform energy factor of 3.39. I'm happy with that and believe a recirc system will help maintain that energy efficiency while adding convenience and reducing water waste :)

Roger - can you explain the X-10 in a nutshell?

Thanks for sharing that. My Watts pump is not installed yet, and it's encouraging to hear that you've used the same Laing pump for 8 years. The fact that the crossover valve temp setting can be adjusted is a big plus! I've thought about a tankless pump as a supplement, but we have a heat pump...

Thanks guys. I don't have a crawl space or basement, so running more water lines from just about anywhere to the HWH is going to be pretty involved. I'm thinking about a simple pump with cross-over in at least one faucet. I picked up a Watts 500800 at Ace today, really sort of impulsively as...

I'd like to revive this old post as I'm looking into a recirc system. I haphazardly wound up with a hybrid water heater and now that I feel like we are doing as well as we can in terms of hot water efficiency, I want to reduce the amount of water we pour down the drain waiting for the heat...
