A continous on circulator pump wastes energy, some have a button on
feature. See if you can put in a Ng tankless near the bath, but it is
not to far a distance it will just take longer to get Hw. Insulate the
pipes completly it will help, Pvc looses less heat then metal.


I don't thin a small pump motor would waste allot of energy especially on a
timer.

If you have a timer, to turn it off, how will you ever get it back on
again if you don't have a button? What other method would know when
to turn it on again?

I think pushing a button to start the pump is not solving the
problem, your right back to ware you started. You just added a pump to push
the cold water back into the hot water tank, you still have to wait for the
cold to clear the system, kind of like opening the fixture and letting the
cold run out. So all you have gained is the joy of pushing a button.
