Not busting your chops here, but knowing is one thing, but at what cost. As far as recirc. pumps are concern, I advise against it at times (talking myself out of a job) because the financial benefit does not add up. I can't suggest tearing out walls, installation return pipes, running electrical then buttoning everything just to speed up the delivery of hot water. I wouldn't do that to people. They can wait another 30 seconds for that hot water. It not worth $1000 bucks of work. if they are doing a full remodel, then I would suggest it for sure.
Yeah, I'm on the fence about recirculation. Should've had the tankless water heater located much closer the water is needed. Live and learn.
