    Hot water recirculation pump?

    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.

    Dishwasher high loop or air gap?

    No inspection required per the city; not moving walls, plumbing or electrical. Been in the house 40+ years and never had a drain backup. Guess I will go with the high loop and make the wife happy.

    PEX

    Got estimates and I think I am going to go with type L copper for the job. More $, but I am more comfortable going with the tried and true standard. Aluminum house wiring also sounded like a good idea at one time.

    PEX

    Second pin hole leak in galvanized water pipe in (4) months. House is (64) years old with (1) bathroom. When re-piping with PEX should it be main line and branch like the existing galvanized or should it be installed with a manifold and "home runs" to each fixture?
