I know the exterior one doesn't have it. Thanks for the tip on that and the igniter. I have an outsized water softener for the house. The last time I descaled mine, I couldn't detect any scaling, & that was maybe eight or nine years ago. I think I'll descale them this summer for good measure. Thanks.

Yeah, I get that recirc 18 hours a day doesn't make sense for a lot of folks.
We use hot water all the time, it's our go-to for washing hands and pots & pans and such. The pump doesn't take much electricity and it doesn't hurt that our energy pricing (both electricity & gas) is significantly lower than when we lived in SoCal.
