That sounds like a great way to get Legionnaire's, unless I'm missing something.

actually its quite the opposite. because the hot water is constantly recirculating its hard for the bacteria to grow. Kind of like why they say never drink from stagnant water but water that is flowing is safer (not neccessarily safe to be clear)
I think all apartment buildings have recirculators so somehow it works.
I've been doing it for 15 years. No legionella here.
