Hi, I am looking for some information on reciruculation lines and circulators. I have a three story house, and it takes three or four minutes for any hotwater to come out upstairs (either in the shower or faucets). This is a large waste of water. I have heard of cirulators that will recirculate the hot water, but have never see such a system. Can you put them in yourself? Are they expensive, and is the expense cheaper than the water wastage being caused. I have already insulated all of the piping and that hasn't really helped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks
