In one one sense--

is a hobby for me!
With three houses, three woodstoves, three water heaters--
two using lake water--I try to share my efforts to keep inflating costs to a minimum.
One house has county-supplied water, which kills bacteria. A water heater which heats only 15 minutes a day--
using the breaker--doesn't have time to grow deadly bacteria.
Downstairs, I source my clothes washer through both hot and cold water faucets, although only cold water reaches the washing machine.
Put another way--except for the 15 minutes for showering, the water heater stores only cold water in it.

If you have a need for regular use of a
dishwasher machine, then saving utility costs in this manner will always appear cumbersome.
I
like beating the system!
