The remote someone spoke to earlier in thread sounds like a nice compromise. I do believe it is a little bit dishonest to sell these systems based on cost of small pump and not mentioning the water heater. When we bought here I read in my material house had Florida energy seal approval. Pretty low standard if water systems not included. Does anyone know if hot water line underground are insulated? I suspect they are not.
