As I understand it, you have insulated pipes to your taps and back to the hot water tank, hot water is then permanently pumped to your taps and back to the tank.
The idea is you get instant hot water when you turn on a tap rather than having to run off water in the pipes beforehand.
Other than the convenience of not waiting for hot water to run through the pipes, the claim is that it saves money because your pipes are insulated.
It looks like a major plumbing task for very little gain.
What problem are you trying to solve?

There are other advantages - if installed correctly with the circuits - for example, that if you are in the shower and someone
else starts washing the dishes (either machine or by hand) and/or someone else flushes the toilet or turns on the garden hose,
you neither get a drop in pressure in your shower, nor a sudden "icy" surprise!
That's also worth something!
