I’ve always known it was best to wash my hands with warm water, but, really, as a person who has spent many of her years in arid climates, the idea of watching water run down the tap for five minutes while waiting for the warm water to show up was too much to contemplate.
However, the place we moved to here in Henderson has a recirculating hot water system. And once we had the plumber out to fine tune it, it has been providing us with near instantaneous hot water from every faucet. It’s wonderful!
Given the current situation, I’m thrilled I can wash up in warm water and not waste gallons of water. I am completely and thoroughly spoiled by this.
