No doubt the reason it had the pump preinstalled is the cold sandwich effect Solutions To Cold Water Sandwich Effect. Not many people understand this. And it's not really applicable to a standard designer home. Unlike a conventional hot water heater with a tankless you can get, under certain situations, a hot, cold then hot water effect. It's not really a big deal. I would classify this as a first world problem.
