    that makes sense, in Finland’s climate, heat lost out of the pipes is not wasted – it would heat the dwelling. not a big deal compared to dumping 20 wasted litres down the drain for every shower.

      It’s not just to save water. It’s to prevent bacteria from growing. It doesn’t grow well in cold water nor in hot water but it loves warm water.
