Hi all,
I live in a ranch and there's probably forty feet between my hot water tank and the main bathroom in the house. The kitchen is at least twenty feet away also. I'm getting tired of pouring water down the drain waiting for the water to get hot every time I want to take a shower, wash my hands, or do a dish in the kitchen sink. I'm pretty close to ordering a Grundfos hot water recirculating pump to hopefully save some money on all that wasted water. My water bills are getting ridiculous and I'd like to try to cut them back a bit. Not only for the money, but it's a huge WASTE of water to dump at least three gallons of water down the drain every time I need hot water. I can get the system for $239 and I can install it myself so it sounds like a pretty cost effective solution. Do any of you out there have a hot water recirculating pump? If so, how well to they work? As I said before I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and do it but thought I'd get some feedback if possible before I do.
Thanks in advance!
John
