Because the energy used to heat the water, whether it be electrical or gas, costs money to reheat the new incoming water that replaces the wasteful water going down the drain for no reason.

Glacier bay kitchen faucet water comes out slow hot or cold how do you repair this?

I just brought a Glacier Bay pull down ceramic kitchen faucet Model 896408. After installing it, the cold water wasn't coming out of the faucet. It turned out the problem was the coldwater supply line inside the faucet was bent & twisted. As a result, when the body of the faucet was attached, it had to be turned just a little to position it correctly, this tighted and choked the water supply line even more- which meant "no cold water." Waiting on replacement line from Glacier Bay, which, I am certain, will correct the problem.
