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

YouTube for the “how to” ….

I run a long garden hose from the shower out the window back to hot water heater....uses that first 30 seconds of cold water....haha

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.

I’ve got low flow shower head why only takes 2.6 gallons to shower. My water usage runs between 3500 gallons up around 6000 gallon month depending on month.

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.
