For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?

I’m so thrown off by our current shower which legit heats up in 2 seconds. I was so used to waiting like a minute for it to warm up, I built my rituals around that. But this one… it’s just hot, like right away. Bizarre
In fancy installs, the hot water supply is a loop, not a tree, and a circulating pump keeps the entire run hot.
That sounds like a great way to waste energy.
Sorry, you’ve met wealthy people, right…?
It’s just dumb engineering to heat up a pipe the entire day for the 0.8% of the day you need it to be hot.
In modern ones they learn patterns about hot water usage, so they are only active on max during the “busy” periods.
