Default More in our shower

Our kitchen is pretty close to our garage, so don't notice too much wait there. Our Master Bath is pretty far, so we just started putting a clean 2 gallon bucket in while it warms up - takes about 1/2 a bucket before we have hot water. Just take it out and water some pots (I have lots of containers) every day, or fill a sprinkling can if it has just happened to rain.

Of course, we're not there in summer, where I hear you are getting lots of rain every day.

I am hoping that when we need to replace our water heater in a few years that the cost of the instant hot water tanks will have come down. We have gas. I think there might also be a sizable rebate available from TECO as well.

One might think that since water usage is such an issue in Florida that they would just install these when building and pass the cost on to the buyer.
