how long does it take you to get hot water?

my sink is extremely slow so it takes around 40 seconds of hot water before it actually gets hot, and about 55 seconds until it's full hotness... it's so funny that an guy once couldn't figure out how to get hot water because of it

i live on second floor... and it is insane when taking showers, like even when water is hot and i change to colder, it becomes ice cold for at least 20 seconds, then after some time too hot, so rinse and repeat

I have a 24 year old gas boiler which is very inconsistant in performance. Sometimes it takes 30 secs and the water is still not hot but sometimes you can boil your hand after 2 secs.

Maybe 3 seconds and it's scalding, on the 6th floor. The building is brand new though, it was finished only a little over a year ago (when we moved in), so they probably did something clever. The water-heated floor, however, took over a year to get warm.

No, seriously. There was a teeny water leak inside the wall in our apartment, a nail was jammed into the water pipes by some idiot when it was built. It lowered the pressure in the central heating system and fucked it, so basically everyone in this complex above the 3rd floor or so (of 7) lived over a year without any kind of heating. I don't know what the fuck they built this building from, but I think it must have been magic because it hasn't even been that cold in here, despite no heating whatsoever.

For me cold water is the issue, hot water is like a few seconds while getting really cold water is maybe 20-30 seconds.

curr apartment is oke 5s for anything that want

prev apartment was completely random, sick delay, it could take 1min to get bearable, another 1min to get hot water, then it got way too hot to stand in and then it took 1 min to cool, and it cooled to ice cold. Troll shower! So I mostly took cold showers, they make you feel better afterwards anyway. Also cabeling was random, network line was connected in chain instead of diamond network, so beisikally signal got weaker from apartment to apartment. My internet connection sometimes worked and sometimes not. It worked better when neighbors were not home, obviously ;)

prevprev apartment was instant any warmth water daytime. At night it might take few secs cuz every other apartment mans sleeping loL

I don't touch heat control at all in shower except during summer when want cold showers. Always oke heat after like 5s and then up to norm temperature that is perfect for showering after another 5s.

in my house need to wait hot >1 min, and it disappears each ~5 mins when washing, but there is sauna happily)

Max 5 secs for any desired temperature, in an apartment.

The worst was in the UK though, those separate faucets. Absolutely retarded.
