For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?

    You’re not supposed to just stand there and waste that warming-up water, you’re supposed to collect it in a watering can and put it on your plants! It’s got stuff from having sat in the water heater so it’s not the best for drinking but plants don’t mind.

      This legitimately is something I’ve been looking for as I hate just running a gallon of water out for no reason.

        Iirc if your water boiler supports it, you can have it circulate the hot water in the pipes to warm them up without wasting water

          I don’t think that’s possible in my 1970s building. My water heater is in the kitchen and the tub/shower is way across the apartment so I get 2 gallons. I have a big balcony with lots of happy plants.
