Victor, I've heard the same thing and I think it is a product of energy conservation rather than functionality. Personally I like hot water for the very reasons you cite below

Is this true or not, and if it is, why? I would think that the hot or warm water would soften anything that goes down the drain and what not, and would actually loosen the gunk up so it goes easier on the disposal. Is my logic flawed here? Thanks all. Victor Co-moderator Blind Movie Buffs List Guidedogs List [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
