Regarding your question when is the tax due. First, even if you file for an extension, the tax is due on the original due date, traditionally April15. The extension is an extension to file, it is not an extension to pay. Tax payments are extended also.... https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-day-for-in...

i am thinking later to add recirculating pump later, so we have hot water in pipes and not waste the water while waiting for hot water.

I'd evaluate what the damage will be if it blows a leak.

High $$$ damage risk. Replace it yesterday.

Low $$$ damage risk. Get a water monitor to alert you of any leak and ride it to the end.

If you plan to do your own install, buy it now so you are prepared.
