I didn't think it would make that of a difference, but with the hot water tank in the basement and taking quite a while to get hot water in the upstairs showers I figured why note. I was quite surprised what a positive difference it made. Of course replacing the hot water tank a couple years later made a bigger difference because the original tank thermostat was off I guess.
