Has anybody put a circulator pump on their Sidearm system to speed up recovery time? I have a 40 gallon hot water tank and after 2-3 showers the water gets luke warm. It takes hours forthe sidearm to get the tank hot again through natural convection. I think it would be much faster if there was a circulator pump just circulating the water through the sidearm and around the hot water tank. (Hate to solve problems by adding electrical devices kind of counter productive.) I also thought about adding a small plate exchanger to preheat water going into the water heater which would be a one time expense.
Just thought I would see if anyone would post some pictures or share what they done to improve their hot water temperature recovery. I am sure I am not alone with this issue.
