Passive loop systems really work, providing that the sink is significantly higher than the water heater.

My pipe-fitter father put this system in the house he had built in 1963.  I just sold the house in November, and I could walk into the house after being gone for a day or two and get hot water in any of the sinks right away.  I think about that sometimes while waiting for hot water in my own house.
