As in another post, I had been considering two DHW recirculation pumps for the two different sides of my house, and have come to the conclusion that on the West side, I may be better off seeing if I can reduce the length, diameter, and possibly use a trunk system to address some of the 'mild' hot water supply issues
Assuming copper, how would you recommend plumbing the below areas to minimize hot water delivery time, without sacrificing pressure and volume?
Today, the only real issue is the shower and lav in the SW corner downstairs that takes about 30 seconds to get hot water via 3/4" Kitec PEX-AL-PEX (can't explain that one) that runs along the S wall. Could a 1/2" line amply supply a shower and lav?
Almost all the other fixtures are 1/2" PEX, many of which are home runs. Side-arm is the circle next to the boiler. Kitchen sink location in the lower right corner.
