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.
