Yes or no? I'm in a 3 bedroom 1 bath house in Southern California. I know it will save water, but what will it do to the natural gas and electric bills? Comfort or dedicated return line? Any and all comments appreciated.

My Physical Therapist just purchased a house with this controller. Anyone have an idea on what brand it is? I am trying to find a manual for it.

Done that 2x in the past and it lasts for a while, but comes back.:(
