Question

Do you have any suggestions for hot water recirculating pumps? I hate to waste water before our showers.

Asked by Yesim Erke-Magent

Our shower gets hot water the last in the house and I try to collect the water until it gets hot... yet it is not that easy or convenient all the time. I know of circulating pumps and I was wondering if you have any suggestions. One plumber I contacted installs Grundfos ones for $750. Also, do they need to drill a hole at the vanity, etc. to get electricity for the pump?

I would use the Grundfos pump. It is the best. Do not use the Chilipepper pump.
