If I had this set up in my house, I would be inclined to press the
button before I needed the hot water, such as when I was getting ready
to cook dinner, then a few minutes later when I needed the hot water,
it would be there. It may not be as hot as if I waited for the hot
water to get there, but it would certainly be hotter than the cold
water in the pipes.
Peace,
Pat
