This is a message I posted in November 2013 :

quote Just had a new hot water tank fitted (not brave enough to DIY)
and it is fine. Hot water is hot etc., but hot water now takes much
longer to reach the taps than it did with the old tank.

Most of the lag is just the time it takes to heat all the copper
fittings en route. The cooled water comes through fast. Have they taken
some fittings off?

No, the only change to the hot water was removal of a bath and basin,
the supplies to each being capped off. No changes to run length or
anything else, except turning the hot water supply off at the tank for
perhaps half an hour.

Tried again this morning, and first use of a hot tap results in hot
water arriving much quicker.

Is there a small hot-water leak somewhere? i.e. is hot water being leaking at some place between the boiler and the tap? This would dleave a shorter pipe run for the hot water to travel before reaching the tap
