Hello everyone,
I have noticed that out of the 65° in the kettle, only 40° arrive in the bathtub, meaning around 40% is lost over a distance of 10 meters. I would like to reduce the heat loss of the hot water pipe between the heating system and the bathroom to as close to 0 as possible. The pipe is insulated with both foam and glass wool around the foam. Is there insulation for hot water pipes that significantly limits the loss? I would like to keep the temperature setting as is due to bacteria and then cool down to the desired temperature with cold water while bathing.
