Okay, so I've been using this ZHKUO recirculation pump for about two weeks now and here's the real tea ☕

The GOOD: This thing is QUIET! Like, 'is it even on?' quiet. Installation was stupid easy - just needed a wrench and about 20 minutes of my time. No plumber required, which saved me $$$.

The MEH: Heads up - the inlet/outlet sizes are kinda misleading. Product says 3/4" but it's actually 1/2". Had to get some adapters (eyeroll). Also had that weird oil taste in water for first few uses like they warned about.

The WOW: From waiting MINUTES for hot water to SECONDS? Game changer for morning showers! My water bill might actually thank me too.

Pro tip: Double check all parts are included before installing. Some reviewers got incomplete packages (yikes).

Overall? 4/5 stars - would recommend with those small caveats!
