Remove the flow restrictors in your shower head and you’ll have hot water in 30~45 seconds….

YouTube for the “how to” ….

Seen that many times at the Laurel Manor pool. People come in to the showers with all of their lotions and potions and shaving kit and spend so long in a hot shower that it's like a sauna in there when I come out of the pool to rinse off. Mrs Fox not impressed with those ladies who take the opportunity to shave their legs.

Spending 10 months at sea. Sea Showers or Navy showers due to the limitation of evaporators making fresh water for food preparation and machinery. Heated sea water was common only till arriving in port did we get fresh water showers. We survived.

Caddyshack. I read some talk of the villages users posts in the judges voice. Certain ones come off perfectly.

No water flow control on any of our 3 showers, usually 3-4 showers per day if outside golf, or lawn care, in summer. Plus our laundry about 5-6 loads a week.
Inside water use 1324 gallons a month. Cooler months less than 800 gallons.
