    Hi Trevordormer...

    There are a couple different pump systems that DECREASE the time you need to wait for hot water to arrive at your tap(s), but these pumps do nothing to improve the PRESSURE and/or volume available to the tap.

    There are also BOOSTER pumps available that can increase the pressure to the tap(s), but not the volume. These pumps will NOT decrease the wait time for hot water as with the other pumps... ;)

    Please explain exactly what your issue is... O.K. Is it a time lag issue (wait too long for hot water to arrive), a pressure issue, or a volume issue.

    Let us know...
