Following on from the "heat loss from hot pipe" thread; our vented hot water cylinder is about 12 metres of 1/2" pipework away from the kitchen sink and takes about 30seconds before the hot tap runs hot enough to do washing up.
I was wondering if any 2kW 10litre under sink unit could be fed from the hot supply pipe to avoid changing the taps?
My thought being when the main hot tank was up to temperature then the water could be run from that through the under sink unit (wasting 10 litres first??) but in summer when the water tank was not being used during the day the under sink unit could be switched on.
