Notice
When using a recirculation mode, by keeping the water in the hot water
supply pipe hot, you can get instant hot water when you turn the tap
on. On the other hand, there will be some minor efficiency loss, as a
result of the water heater maintaining a steady temperature within
the circulation loop, although in many cases, higher gas usage will be
compensated for by lower water usage.
