Joshua E. said...: Because the guests in the other rooms who are using hot water keep the water from sitting in the pipes and going cold. The only pipe that is unique to you is a short hop from the main to the tap, so even if that water has gone cold sitting in the pipe it gets flushed out almost immediately by hot water coming in from the trunk line.; November 23, 2009 at 1:05 AM
