- It's a nice idea. But I don't think it's going to get hot water at the faucet any quicker than just running it down the sink would. So what does it really gain? If you're in one of those over-populat

- If I had this set up in my house, I would be inclined to press the button before I needed the hot water, such as when I was getting ready to cook dinner, then a few minutes later when I needed the ho

- Exactly what I was thinking about my shower. Generally I turn the shower on first, then brush my teeth while the hot water comes from the other end of the house. That only wastes a little hot water.

- Hmm... I guess that could be useful, but it still sounds like a lot of "stuff" to break for the benefit. I guess my water usage habits aren't typical though. I'm on well water, and we have no shortag

- True enough, but the energy it took to heat it is not. Nor is it free, either from pollution or money. Randall

- I wonder if the nearby stream water is as acidic as the water from your well. If not, you may be changing or eliminating the aquatic life in that stream. It's nice to have an artesian well. -Roland

- It measured at around 6.6 or 6.4 PH. I think most rain water is more acidic from absorbed CO2. The fish and craw'dads don't seem any different (man, those little guys can pinch!) I appreciate your co

- Make your system a modification of what hotels, hospitals, etc. use They have a pump that circulates hot water in a closed loop past every room. It returns to the inlet of the hotwater heater, and th

- The problem with that approach is that it requires the entire hot water line to be very well insulated, or it results in a huge heat (energy) loss. In my case, it's a bit difficult to insulate the p
