Recirculating Hot Water Pump
Do you wake up on those cool mornings to turn on the shower or sink and let the water run for 30-120 seconds, waiting for that cozy warm water to come out of your pipes? Do you watch all that clean (but honestly, I'm not showering in that, it's freezing) water going down the drain? How about installing a pump that just moves the water in your existing pipes so you never really use (or lose) it?
