Eli5: How does a hotel always have hot water for every occupant?

In: 1975

Answer 1

They don’t always… I’ve been on trips where I stayed in a hotel and if I took a shower between 6 – 8 am I always had luke warm or cold water. If I showered outside of that range say 5 am or 9 am or even the afternoon at 2 pm or 4 pm or evening at 9 pm I always had hot water. Sometimes they don’t have enough capacity but you’re using it when other people aren’t so you have hot water.
