I agree -- we installed a hot water recirculating pump as well. Ours is a Grundfos -- I believe they also manufacture the Watts unit.

Most of these pumps will support 2 mixing valves, so I put one under the kitchen sink and another in the Master bath. Now both areas have hot water within approximately 10-15 seconds. Prior to that, the wait was 30-45 seconds.

I wound up installing the system myself -- not really a big deal if you like working on household projects.
