I have a TWH locates in the garage. The laundry room is one the other side of the wall and hot water is almost instantaneous to the faucet. Master bath is about 20’ run and it takes 30-45 seconds to get hot water. Two bathrooms are on the other side of the house, approximately 60-70’ run. These faucets, shower and tub take 2-5 minutes to get hot water. These are only used when we have company. I have tried installing an on-demand recirculating pump at the furtherest point with cross-over to the cold water line. This only marginally improved the situation.
Looking for a better solution. Options I have considered are:
1. Install another TWH or WH near these rooms
2. Install a small WH near these rooms in series with the TWH. Operate this WH to keep hot water immediately available and feed hot water from TWH to the cold inlet. No recirculation. Ability to shut off WH when bathrooms are not in use.
3. Install continuous recirculation with ability to shut off when these bathrooms are not in use.
Appreciate guidance on best solution.
