This could be a real energy-saver if your electric bill is sky high.
We all know that you should insulate your hot-water heater to save energy. But if you have an electric hot-water heater, you can save even more by installing a timer that turns it off at night or while you're at work. There's no reason to heat 50+ gallons of water all day when there isn't anybody using it!
Our water heater has a breaker button that needs pressing every couple of days to kickstart some new hot water. Nothing like being mid-shower and the water suddenly gets lukewarm. :-) I guess that's one way to not worry about wasting hot water.
