The water's always warm/hot

A small (1 gal per min minimum)electric pump at your water heater, delivering water to the hot water faucet furthest from the heater will result in nice warm water to each faucet in the house. No more washing your hands in cold water or waiting for the water to get hot. The initial installation will cost around $100.00 depending on how much of the installation you do yourself. The side benefit is the water doesn't go down the drain while waiting for the shower or sink water to get hot. We use a low amp timer in series with the pump so it shuts off at night and comes back on in the a m before the hot water is needed. The lamp timer available at the hardware store ($5.00) works fine.
