Question:
I have a half bath on the opposite side of the house from my propane
water heater. Everytime I need hot water there, I have to let the water
run for a few minutes before it gets hot.
Can I use that electric water heater under the 1/2 bathroom sink feeding
from the house's hot water line?
Answer:
I'm not concerned about energy savings, just the waiting time for the
hot water to arrive from the house water heater. Besides, I'm wasting
electricity having the well pump replace the water running down the
drain while waiting for the hot water to show up at the faucet.
The water fittings under my 1/2 bath sink are connected to the faucets
with flex tubing. We're only talking about disturbing the hot water
tubing twice a year, which is the same frequency that I install and
remove the flex tubing under the pool house sink.
