Which way should I swipe?

Same here but I’m in apartments that are less than 10 years old. So it’s not just old houses. Also poorly built apartments.

Same here. Not only takes forever to get warm, takes another minute or 2 to steam. Then my bathroom sink is fine, also farther away from the hot water heater. This is in apartments that were built less than 10 years ago. Part of me thinks it could be the valve or pipe type or something.
