I looked at your other thread where you describe the process.
Are you actually able to bring the overall temperature up to a decent amount by recycling it?
I have never done this, but with a small HWT with limited heating capacity, I would be inclined to think there would be too much temperature loss in the fresh tank and the lines to be able to bring the whole thing past lukewarm.
Just wondering....
