I have this. You have to connect the two pipes under the sink in the furthest part of the house from the water heater. For us, we picked a spot downstairs in our master bathroom since our master bedroom is on the ground floor. Our shower would take 2-3 mins to warm up which was a huge waste of water. I now have this connected to a smart plug. A few mins before I want to shower I ask Alexa or Google to turn on my water heater. It turns it on and within 10 mins I have instant hot water. I also have a smart activity setup that says to turn this off 10 mins after it is turned on. This protects it from running mom stop if you forget to turn it off. Using the built in timer to turn it on and off only works if you have a set schedule and shower at the same time everyday.

I've had one of these for years. Just to reiterate it makes both the hot and cold water "warm", so you have to run the water a bit to get really warm water or really cold water, since the water in the hot and cold pipes have been warmed up.

best pump in the market been using for 4 years 5000 sqft home i place two pumps and 4 sensors different areas in the house
turn on timer 5.00 am to 11.00 pm it use to take 4 min before i get hot water up stairs wasted so much water. Now 30 seconds i have hot water, no complaint this will save some $$ because you not waiting for hot water to filter through

As far as how much i really do not care because i need hot water entire house at any given time.

Yes cold water tap will take 30 seconds before you see cold water because you have hot water filtering through the cold water pipe.

"there is a thermostat that you put under a sink to use the cold water lines to recirculate the hot water."

What thermostat to use and how to connect it?
Thanks.

Thanks.

it comes with the thermostat sensor valve to circulate the hot water. it's similar to a thermostat in a cars engine coolant system. the kit comes with everything you need.

Does using one of these make the water from the cold tap come out warm?

It depends on the state of the thermostat valve.once the water gets hot at the valve it stops circulation.

Curious about this.... hoping for clarification.

Does it actually save water and/or energy and is it just a matter of convenience? It sounds like it's just flushing cold water out of the pipes so you get instant hot water from the tap but you would flush that water out anyway by running your tap until there's hot water. What am I missing?

Save water that would otherwise go down the drain while waiting for hot water at fixture. Definitely wasting energy.

I think I'll wait with the all of the West in drought, I think there will be rebates soon for water-saving devices.

If I'm reading it correctly, the cold water is pushed back into your cold pipes in the house and makes its way down to the water heater. No water is going down the drain.

Thank you.

So there's savings in water but waste in energy by having to continuously heat new water coming into the tank. Wonder what the cost/benefit to this is (water saved vs. energy used)?

I guess all depends you want hot water instant or wait 4 min?
so what the cost for heating hot water all day verses waiting 4 min every time you want to use hot water.?

I not worried about the extra cost I just need hot water available to me at any given time of the day.
