In a smaller or perhaps in a multi-story home, it probably is overkill. At 
my house, I will go outside and click the pump on if we are doing a load of 
dishes in the dishwasher on the weekends when the pump timer is not on. 

I think it is great and believe this approach combined with some solar 
augemntation makes for a very attractive conventional solution (or perhaps 
not so conventional). I can post photos if you are interested.
