That gives us hot water at all faucets within 4-5 seconds.
Yes, agree. The only way to get instant hot water is with a recirculating system. We also have the Mike Scott one and it is great. We had a tankless in Texas but also had the whole house recirculating system for instant hot water. The tankless by itself will NOT give you instant hot water.
