Why is it that hot water in a hotel comes out instantly but at home it takes time?

In home systems, the water sits a while stagnant in the pipes until you open the valve to let some out. It takes a bit of time for the hottest water to reach the open valve. Many commercial buildings have a recirculating hot water system in which asmall pump circulates the water from the hot water tank, out through the system and returns it to the tank. City water pressure still forces it out the tap when you open the valve, but since the water is never stagnant,it never cools off in the pipes, and so it is always hot when you open the tap.


How far can a cow smell water if you turn a cow into a strange pasture in in Arizona can she find the water tank?

To my knowledge, cows can't smell water unless there is something in the water that would give it a scent. In the scenario you describe, the cow could probably but not defintely find the water tank, depending on the location of the water tank and the shape of the water tank, etc. If the cow is thirsty, this combined with natural curiosity will drive the animal to find the water. You should make sure the cow is getting the water by checking the water level in the tank. If it's not getting water, it will bawl/ moo a lot and then become quite ill and theoretically die eventually.

Why do mollies smell?

If your Mollies smell then you are not looking after their water properly. The basic rules for keeping fish healthy are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water :- every tank needs a cycled filter running permanently :- every tank needs to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. If you are missing out on any of the above your fish will not last long.

Water was frozen and you had to fill tank in the attic with water when you filled the container with water and put it in the attic you did not realize that there was kerosene in the container?

Kerro stinks! How did you miss/ignore the smell of Kerro? Maybe you need to see an Ear, nose and throat specialist and get your nose (sense of smell) fixed. You will have to clean the tank out and do it really well with hot water and detergents etc. Then after a proper rinsing to remove all trace of the detergent it may be fit for use.
