What cheeses me off

[Quickstatus]

I have made sure the plumber makes the run to the kitchen the shortest.

Not possible to change the position of the HWS in my case. Even if I could the make the run to kitchen island shorter, doing that would lenghten the run to the bathrooms.

My mums house has the same issue. I have tried for 20 years to talk her into putting 10L hot water service under the sink. But no she need the cupboard space as the other 20 or so aren't enough. I think it takes around 4L of water to get warm.

It is for the kitchen sink and the dishwasher not for the cuppa

No, for washing dishes in the sink or washing my face. Otherwise I’d be taking several buckets of water each time out to the pot plants.

Each time I have got rid of a gas HWS in various houses and installed solar I have made sure the plumber makes the run to the kitchen the shortest.

All my water pipes run across the ceiling in the roof space. The solar tank is midway between bath and kitchen. It still takes too long, hence the kettle.

Mind you, water is cheap. It is the supply charge that is high. Nevertheless it is ingrained not to waste water!

One of those days?

Pretty much ... one of those days ... today was the perfect Swiss cheese model of everything going wrong ... but things will work out soon, one hopes
