At the end of the day, I may not engage the pump. It was an expensive upgrade; that’s certain. But isn’t it better to have it and not need it than to eventually want it and not have it?

Approx. 1gal/50ft of 3/4” pipe
My home, horizontal distance from heater to guest bath = 42’. Add vertical distance and it’s close to 50’.
4.5qts to draw warm water to guest bath. I didn’t time it but times will vary with different fixtures.
