Any general recommendations of how to properly use a snake to get rid of clogs ? When turning the handle it just seems like the wire gets all coiled up inside the pipe but no debris is actually being removed.

Any recommendations for hot water pumps ? The faucet farthest from the water heater takes quite a while to get up to temperature and I have been looking at two remedies: https://www.wattspremier.com/products.php?product=Instant-Hot-Water-Recirculating-System http://www.gothotwater.com/D%27MAND/how.asp The automatic pump seems like a waste of energy since it basically keeps the cold water line heated. The D'mand system makes sense to me, except for the unjustified $400 price tag. Are there any alternatives I might be missing ?

Rd Rash 1000cc posted:Best way is running a hot recirc line all the way to the furthest fixture. Then Plumb that line with into the cold inlet of the water heater. Throw a pump and a check valve to keep it from back flowing. You can use any pump with a timer for this also. Thanks, but it's a slab foundation and tearing open the drywalls to run new pipes is not something I am planning to do.
