Be happy, don't waste water, recirculate. It sooo worth the small expense to have hot water when you want it.  |
Yes but...
The continual heat loss of the circulating water requires the water heater to run a great deal more.
That is the larger expense part.
Consider a point-of-demand flash heater addition instead.
