Cold water in Florida? We joke about how nice the cold water feels when we go back north.
Another downside of the pumps is additional electrical costs. First, there is a pump that runs frequently to send hot water to the far end of the house. Then, there is the cost of heating the cold(er) water that is pushed back into the tank when the pump runs. The instant hot water might be worth it but there is going to be a cost.
