it's for
food - weekly living expenses, home and financial investment, etc.


I'm not gonna read the 230+ thread on this subject, but since I live
alone, I keep my hot water heater turned off up until 30 minutes
before I need to take a shower.

Also, I live in FL, and my pipes are in the attic.

During the summer, I don't even have to use the HW heater, because I
get hot water from the pipes being in the attic.

I recall bringing up this kind of idea here in the past, and
someone mentioned the risk of Legionares' Disease growing in the
hot water system, due to lack of sufficient heating to kill it.

In practice that doesnt happen with solar hot water systems.

It does.

But legionnaires is only an issue if you shower, since its inhaled
bacteria that are bad news.

And who wants to shower in tepid water anyway?

all solar and heatpump systems use immersion heaters to get water up to
60C plus if the prime source wont do it.
