Hot Water
How many minutes of hot water should you be able to get out of a decent hot water heater?
How many minutes of hot water should you be able to get out of a decent hot water heater? I’m paying TOP DOLLAR in a ‘luxury apartment building’ and I know that my unit has a dedicated water heater. Yet, after literally 18-20 minutes MAX in the shower, the water is cold. It then takes several hours before another hot shower can be taken.
Is this atypical or does this sound right?
From the sounds of it you have a hot water assist servicing your apartment. When I was living in a hi-rise I found that if I showered during normal hours early AM and later PM the hot water was scarce see if there is a difference at an odd hour during the weekend.
Additionally, if you are indeed the owner of a heat assist the contraption will be in your apartment and if you locate it you may be able to tinker with the controls shhhhhhh I didn’t say that.
Most likely though it’s in a super secret place and used to assist more then one apartment. You would need to schmooze the super.
Your building probably considers 20 minutes plenty of time…fools. Showering with a friend can take….longer.
I looked up the average length of a shower and found this tidbit
“Most Americans shower everyday, for 10 minutes or less, and spend 35 minutes of time in the bathroom, on average. These are some of the not-so-surprising findings on people’s ablutions derived from the 1999 Bathroom Habits Survey, American Standards poll of more than 800 U.S. residents.”

The Wall-Live in Berlin [VHS] $4.06 The Wall (Live in Berlin) seemed uninspired and gimmicky in 1990 but looks and sounds terrifically compelling on DVD, thanks to its vivid image quality and greatly improved audio mixes. The freshly mineswept Potsdamer platz–a once-thriving plaza destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943–proved the perfect place to mark the opening of the Berlin Wall with an all-star production of Pink Floyd’s magnum o… |
