Usually the heater is lighted a few minutes before hot water is required, the time depending upon the amount likely to be used.  A 30-gallon tank may be heated in approximately one hour.  Sufficient hot water for an average bath may be had in fifteen minutes.  The most economical way to handle the circulating tank heater, when water is needed for a bath, is as follows: 

Light heater and turn on faucet so that the water will flow into the tub as quickly as it is heated in the tank.  This is usually at the rate of one gallon per minute.

According to the city ordinance, in residences where water meter check valves are installed on the water service, the consumer should supply a safety water relief valve before connecting any hot water system.  This must be done to take care of the expansion.
