I increased the max water temperature, as others have done, because I wanted hotter water.

I have not noticed that having any effect on wait time however. Some people have said their wait time is shorter. I wonder why that would be. It should be set by the water pressure and the along-the-pipe distance from the heater to the shower head.

Is it just psychological or is the hot water wait time actually reduced if you increase the hot water temperature.
