For the few pennies a day not sure I want the water from a hot water tank ingested, it has metals, bacteria and other contaminants, that can't grow in cold water.

In fact you're supposed to run water for 60 seconds to flush most contaminates from water standing in the pipes.

Also drain the hot water tank once a year to flush out rust and scale that accumulates in the bottom, when you turn on the faucet you stir up the bottom and that crap comes out the faucet.
