Unless there is a recirculating pump the hot water has to come from the hot water heater. Depending on how far away it is from the faucet, it can take 15 to 30 seconds for the hot water to get there. Since there is nothing in the pipe to keep the water hot, it cools down between uses.

I don't even know what a recirculating pump does but when fast moving water hits a corner or elbow it has a force that can move the pipe. Most likely the pipes need a bit more tie downs. Hopefully the pipes aren't in the walls. Get someone to cut the water on and you go hunt the rattle.


How can you get hot water faster at all the bath room it take long time to get hot?

You could install a recirculating pump near your hot water tank and run a pipe from the furthest fixture that has hot water to this pump. This pump would then circulate the hot water back into the COLD inlet of the hot water tank and have hot water available at each fixture when you want. You would require a check valve where the recirculated water enters the cold supply to your hot water tank. CALL A PLUMBER THAT HAS FREE ESTIMATES!!!

What would cause hot water to constantly run in the sump pump well?

The hot water is probably water running through the pump and recirculating in the sump. Is the pump running continually? Water that isn't ejected by the pump and is recirculated is being heated by the pump through friction and the motor heat energy thereby becoming hot. Find out why the pump isn't shutting off or the reason the water isn't being ejected out the pipe.
