What type of shower control do you have? Is it like most hotels where you adjust the temperature by turning the lever farther or is it like the one I have where you set the hot/cold mixture once and the main control simply turns the water on and off? With the set-once, hot/cold mixture control a higher temperature might result in a longer wait time due to a lower hot water flow. It would be interesting to try this if I had an instant hot water system.
