If you insulate the pipes, a thermo-siphon is hard to beat for close to instant hot water.
Most people have no idea what you are talking about. Works best in a multi-level home, no? I believe Wayne's new home is a single story with all the shower and tub fills on a similar plane. It would take a master plumber to make that work. However, a 3 story home has no need for a circulating pump if the plumber knows his stuff. Now the question would be how to stop it.
