In reality, zero-sum yan.
FWIW, you are buying a water dispenser for the convenience. That's it. Just replace the 5-gallon jug every couple of days and you can have instant hot/cold water anytime.
What I do is, I have a timer setup on both the Hot and Cold circuits. Yung Hot water, available lang from 6:00-8:30am (breakfast time) while the Cold water is available only from 7:00am-9:00pm. Anytime during the day kung kailangan ko mag-init ng tubig to drink coffee (minsan lang), meron akong routine to turn on the Hot water for 20 minutes only, then patay sya ulit until the following morning.
