Hot Water Supply Ideas

I wanted to comment on turning the water off/on. At both our house and the cottage I have had 24 hour timers installed that I can set to go off/on at pre-defined times. At home I saved about $40 the first month I had this installed. I have no comparison for the cottage as I had one installed along with new plumbing and hot water tank right after we bought the cottage. At the cottage we turn off the hot water when we leave for the week, and back on when we arrive for the weekend, it then runs on my preset schedule.
I have had no issue at either location turning the water off/on. Both are on artesion wells, the home has a full scale water treatment system, the cottage only has a small inline filter.

Hope this helps,
Bill

Is the summer here yet !!
