That is of questionable value too. If the pilot is keeping the water
hot, little is wasted.


Also, standing pilot is nice when the power goes out; you can still take
a hot shower.

When we were kids, my brother kept his tropical fish alive, during an extended
power outage, that way. He surrounded the tanks with bottles he kept filled
with hot water.
