    Part of the hot water pressure is stolen by the man for dishes. Shower suddenly gets cold. This doesn’t happen if you’re on city hot water probably, but it’s very noticeable when you have your own heater

      Oddly we found it happened most when we used an electric shower. Which heats its own water because only uses cold water. How the fuck that was the most effected I have no idea.

      Moved across town and now got a heat pump that does our heating and hot water, it doesn’t really seem to care that much.
