I'm just buying some of the parts and pieces for a home plumbing upgrade on a 22 year old home.
as of now I'm going from a copper trunk and branch and will be converting to a home run set up. I'm also adding the pside kick csv.
something popped into my head, how about a circulation pump on the hot water? just thought it would be nice to have hot water faster. Guess I would have a sub manifold down at the end of my bulk head which is where both bathrooms are and the kitchen sink. I think from there I would have the return line back to the water tank... correct me if wrong. I have a reheem, not sure on model. it's about 65" tall and has titanium elements I believe.
few questions. would this cause my hot water tank to run A LOT more? I don't believe a 120 volt circulation pump would cost a lot of money to run! also how would you have it set up? on temperature or time???? or run it constantly?
feedback appreciated, I'm an amateur
