Reply To: using hot water from tank on shabbos

ItcheSrulik: as most things, this is debatable and may hinge on whether a psik reisha de lo nivhe lei is indeed “lo niche lei” or “lo ichpas lei” (loshon of rashi in shabbos). Maybe he could use the warm water later but he may not care much about it. After all, there are 40 gallons of water in a tank- more than enough for washing dishes and hands, and mayb even a shower or two. AGAIN , please don’t take the above discusssion as halacha- most Poskim forbid using the hot water when it brings in the cold water. I am just interpreting the other “tsad”.
