Word of warning......You must turn off the Watts Circulation Pump when you turn off the main water to the house. The pump is "lubricated" with water running through it and if the main water is off, the pump will have severe damage. We ruined the original pump that was installed when we purchased our home. Loved it so much, we had it replaced with the same model.
I certainly understand not wanting to wait for hot water. In our hall bath, it would take nearly two minutes for full hot water. Now, the water is warm immediately and full hot in 5 seconds. Nice!!!
There is a downside to the Watts pump. When you want cold water, there is a wait to purge the hot water out of the line so the wait then is for cold water.
