Keep the hot marine stove turned to VERY hot or turn it down for in your favour $ and vim?

My husband and I disagree on this.

First off, we hold a well and our hot wet heater is electric. We hold no little children to worry going on for scalding of hands when turning on the touch.
Showers are taken every day for 2, sometimes 3 and dishes are done once or twice a daylight.

He says if we preserve the hot water heating system hotter, so that we have to affix more cold water to it for showers and wash dishes by hand, this will amass money and energy. His reasoning is that smaller amount hot water is used as a consequence making the recovery time to warmness it up that much less.

I vote keep it a moment ago under amazingly hot, so that you'd add with the sole purpose a bit of cold water, to your shower and to your dish marine.

My reasoning is that it takes smaller amount electricity to keep it so incredibly hot, although it would take nearly adjectives of the hot water i.e. already heated for two people to pocket a shower - separately ;).

Anyone know the answer to this one? I'm sure it has something to do near science I SHOULD have widely read in arts school.


Answers:    Turn it down to 120, install a 220v timer and have the component automatically shut off at hours of darkness. I do this with 5 folks in the house and we never enjoy a problem not having ample hot water.
You win the argument darlin.... Turn the kiln down (both thermostats on an electric water heater), to at lowest possible 130 degrees. There's plenty of hot hose and recovery time is minimal. Plus you'll see the difference surrounded by your utility bill.
