Take the time waiting and multiple it times thousand of homes and we are wasting an enormous amount of water.
A recirculator may save some water cost, but I wonder how much energy you use keeping the circulating water hot because you will lose heat to the ground and air that surrounds the pipes as the water circulates. Cost wise, I'll bet it's a wash in the end.
