I insulated the pipes and secured the wires. Surprise! Even the slab for the pump and tank started drying up. Astonishing what a little pipe insulation will do. The back shower receives its hot water MUCH more quickly now! I've already had occasion to test the utility of the the screw couplings for the 3/4 inch lines--wonderful! You can be sweat soldering in a few seconds.
And that's done--a chore that has been on my mind for years. Oddly, shaped pieces of insulation for the fittings (T-joints and right angles) are hard to come by, especially in the 3/4 inch size. I used my old stash and quickly exhausted the local supply. I thought these would be more common--will I have to order the rest from Amazon??
