True or False?

A hot water recirculating pump won't decrease the amount of time it
takes to get hot water to a fixture, it will only eliminate the waste
caused by the water running down the drain.

True, right?


If the pump pumps more water through the pipe than your low flow
faucet passes, it will decrease the time. So it depends on the pump
you choose, in relation to the faucet.


FWIW, I have mine set up with a push button on the wall. Push it and the pump
runs for 2 minutes. Walk into the bathroom, and push the button first thing.
Half a minute or so later the water is hot within 2 seconds after you turn on
the faucet.
