The point of adding a recirculating system is that you don't waste water. The 'loop' runs back from near the faucet to just before the heater.
Doesn't the heater need to turn on and off to keep the loop hot? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of saving energy? We are still talking on demand systems right?
