: I have a long run from the hot water tank to the master bathroom, so I have to run the shower for a long time before the water gets warm. Is there anything I can do about this? It wastes a lot of water. I have copper pipes. The pipes are insulated; however, that does not seem to help much. The temperature of the water in the pipes seems to drop very quickly. The pipes go through the crawl space.

contact your local plumber about the possibility of installing a recirculation line on your hot water lines. basically this system uses a circulator to circulate hot water through your lines
so that whenever hot water is needed you wont have to wait. i have used this system many times on larger homes here in the north east and it has worked great
