Hot water recirculation is a popular feature in many multi-family developments and is becoming more common in single-family new construction. With a hot water recirculation system, unused hot water is recirculated back to the water heater, rather than remaining in the pipes to cool. As a result, these systems can reduce the energy required to heat water while making hot water available faster at fixtures.

Before you get started, make sure you know the difference between these two materials that may be side-by-side in the plumbing aisle of your chosen store.
