I dont denigrate, In fact I have a spa that run all year long.. and when its
minus 25 here the water is still at 100... But I dont try to save a few cent
a day, if I chose to have some confort. its either, you understand that its
will cost you to have the comfort, or you can save some money and have to
wait 10-15 secound to have hot water in the guet bathroom..

trying to cut down on such small amount is purely trying to squeeze a few
drop of juice from an old orange when you have a good supply of it and wont
be in shortage soon..
