Well, look at it this way:


The water in the return line is probably close to room temperature.
He only
has to heat it from room temperature to his target temperature. If
he was pulling in cold water from underground, his heater would
have a lot more work to do. Yes, there are losses when he's done
using hot water, but probably not as great as the usage from
heating up all of that
40 F water.


But it's the *same* loss as that in the supply line, i.e. twice the
loss.


Must be nice to know it all.

But you are wrong. Enough said.


If you believe this you're amazingly stupid.


LOL!
