Getting in the shower: how to get water to temp

[femurphy77]

I send the girlfriend in first, when she stops shrieking I know the water has warmed up!

Set and wait. It's not instant, but less then a minute.

lol, bored today Hoosierdoc?

Yes, but a little social experiment too. INGO likes to debate the right way to do things so I wanted to see how a simple thread on starting water for a shower would go. The steak sauce one was impressive

Crank it to HOT then pull it back to just right.

I have a mark on the cold knob. I crank the hot full open, set the mark on the cold knob at straight up 12 o'clock, and finish shaving. Its where I want it in a couple minutes.

Sit and wait. My plumbing sucks upstairs.

Set it and wait. The water has to travel from the basement to the far corner on the second floor.....usually just enough time to get undressed and towel ready.

Generally I set it and wait. I'm pretty good at getting it on the first try anymore, and it usually takes me that long just to get my Pandora turned on and connected on the Bluetooth speaker.

Hubby turns it hot only to fiddle with it later.

My water heater is just on the other side of the bathroom wall so it gets hot pretty quick. I just set it and wait. By the time I get undressed it's ready to go.
