I am surprised at how long some of you run your hot water heating each day. We have electric showers, dishwasher and washing machine so only need hot water for hand washing and a weekly bath. I give the water cylinder system a one hour run before running said bath about 50 minutes in and that gives me enough for a very deep, long bath and three or four days sink water thereafter. As others have said, the water takes time to run hot to the basin so often we just wash hands in cold or tepid water and may not run the water heating again until another bath beckons.
Having said that the cylinder is modern and well insulated so running for an hour or so each day probably wouldn't be too heavy on the consumption. It would probably cut out after a short time when the thermostat kicks in.
