You can put a recirculating pump on you tank and or tankless hot water system. These recirculating pumps come with a timer that you can adjust to anticipate when you use hot water. But the best way to implement this pump is to set it to On all the time and get a wifi power switch to turn the pump on or off using Google or Alexa. The pump simply plugs into the wifi power switch which turns the power On and Off as you need hot water. No schedules and no waste of electricity recirculating hot water when it's not being used. This way when you need water you say "Hey Google turn on the water heater pump for 5 minutes" and by the time you get into the shower the water will be hot in about a minuteor less.
