I can't stand waiting for hot water. It's a pet peeve of mine and a complete waste of time waiting a minute for hot water. So in any house I own from here on out I'll have something whether a loop. A point of use etc. but I agree that most probably never use that button. Seems pointless as I mentioned above. Putting it on a timer and always having hot water with no interaction required is a lot nicer. The extra energy use is minimal im sure.


I stayed a hotel once.... I showered at night. So no one was using hot water in a bit. It took over 10 minutes for hot water to get up the room. Nuts. It was a brand new hotel and a nice one across the street from Greek peak ski resort. Somebody did a piss poor job behind that install. The heater must been god knows how far away.
