The hotel water management system uses Linux / Dos operarting system which boots up fast and rarely prone to hangups and quirks unlike MS windows!

I wouldn't. In Geneva, Switzerland, central heating is common. It makes sense that if you already have a central heating system that heats the house by circulating hot water, you might as well use it for producing hot water for the shower.

You can only believe i what you can prove, and since you have nothing proven to cmpare to, you can believe in nothing.
I have ~50 posts to hack a "R" into a "D". Which one?

Because it might take 5 minutes before the water gets to the faucet. That would waste a lot of water and inconvenience guests.

If you mean that the hot water would flow down by itself if the heater is at the top, I think it rather tends to flow up, and only if the pipes are quite wide.

The first thing I thought of when reading this riddle is that the pipes connecting the hot water tap and the heater have some sort of heating coil wrapped around to keep the pipe always hot.
That's how I'd do it anyway .. and make sure I charged well for such an wasteful expense of energy!
