The Hot Water Lobster (Hot Water Circulation system)
 
Hi,
Does anyone try out this product, The Hot Water Lobster? It doesn't
need the extra power which is good for my situation. Here is their
website

It looks like wishful thinking. The hot water pipes would have to be
in just the right location to get the water to flow back to the tank.
Even then it probably takes a long, long time. Our pump recirculator
runs a couple of minutes each time, and it's under pressure. The
other problem I see is that not being electric, there is no way to run
it only during the times when you need it. Consequently, you will be
heating a lot of hot water you don't need to. Usually there is an
outlet above the sink for shaver, etc. Just get someone to run the
wires down under the sink from that outlet and install another duplex
outlet. I just had it done for $30. I furnished the parts.
