Caption: Me waiting for the hot water to reach the sink every morning
My kitchen is fairly far from my water heater, which is very close to every other hot water tap in my house. So when washing dishes I often have to run the tap to get hot water in the kitchen. In summer I run this water into my watering can for my garden. In winter I collect it in a jug and pour it into my clothes washer.
Same. Water heater is on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen sink. I have to run the sink for several minutes just to run the dishwasher, which is annoying as hell. I hate how much water have to waste just for the dishwasher to get hot enough to clean effectively.
You can fix the issue by installing a pump on your water heater, but that’s a project that I’m saving for when I need a new one in a few years.
Which is why I just time it so that I fill my watering can just before I need hot water.
Wait what ? I thought the vast majority of dishwashers had internal heating to avoid exactly these kind of issues
They do but if you want to actually sanitize your dishes, the heater alone isn’t going to cut it.
