In the works. there is no hot water plumbing anyplace near where the bio processor will live. I'm definitely planning on using it at lest for drying. I will however need a circulation pump, any ideas?

There is very little heat coming off of the tankless heater; it is in my old insulated water heater cabinet, and it isn't warmer than outside of it (was blistering with propane.
IMHO not worth moving . . . .
