BEopt: water recirculating pump

How do I add a water recirculating pump into BEopt? I know I want a recirculating pump on a particular project, even though it may result in a higher electric cost, it will likely save on water consumption. So I'd like to hardwire that into BEopt as the go-to option for the optimization, and I'd like to specify that it's on a timer. Is there a way to do this?

BTW, modeling water consumption is a function that BEopt should consider int the future, especially as we see more drought in the western U.S.

You can find hot water recirculation options in the Water Heating -> Distribution category. There are example options with timer and manual demand control, and additional control options can be specified if you create your own option(s).

To hardwire it as the go-to option for the optimization, all the options that you select for the optimization would need to include timer recirc.
