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.
