We are getting serious about building the cabin, but our builder knows nothing about this wish I have for a wildlife guzzler in the yard. Anyone ever heard of one?

I thought the whole point of a circulator was that it no longer matters how long the run is, because it periodically cycles hot water into all the pipes. But I don't have personal experience other than hating how long it took my bathroom sink to get warm water at my old house.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post"Seriously, is there a bigger high on the whole face of the earth than eating a salad?"--SeattleUte

I dunno. I"m told this is standard) so maybe that is affecting it somehow? It still doesn't make complete sense to me, because shouldn't this pump be circulating water in the hot water pipes?
Rough plumbing is the one area of residential construction that I just have never experimented in. But I've had two separate plumbers tell me essentially "yeah, about that. it's never really going to work for your kitchen". So I stopped thinking about it. Until today. Well, and every time I have to run water for 30 seconds until it's hot.

ours works in the kitchen and everywhere else (including the half bath farthest in the house from the water heater). now i’m worried we dont have a water softener bypass.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostYeah, i thought so too.

But if the bypass is only for cold water, it's irrelevant, right? (Which I've always thought was the norm.)Originally posted by old_gregg View Post"Seriously, is there a bigger high on the whole face of the earth than eating a salad?"--SeattleUte

Hmm... sounds like the return pipe was attached in the wrong place. Usually the return pipe is attached to the hot water line on the facet that is the furthest away from the hot water heater. I am guessing the plumber attached it to the bathroom's plumbing that is the furthest away.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostLast edited by Uncle Ted; 07-23-2020, 08:58 PM."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Do this to test the water (compare kitchen faucet to bathroom) to ease your mind:Originally posted by old_gregg View Post

Out of curiosity I tried the water in a bathroom faucet, the kitchen faucet, and the fridge dispenser. There's a ton of suds in each container so maybe I have been drinking soft water all along?"Seriously, is there a bigger high on the whole face of the earth than eating a salad?"--SeattleUte

I watched a dream home tour on YouTube from DMFD (deer meat for dinner) and in his master bath, he has a walk in rain shower and in the walk in shower is a jacuzzi tub. So if he is in the tub, he can turn in the shower to rinse off etc without tracking water through the bathroom. Genius.
