    These days it's easy to redirect water lines using plastic (Pex) piping. If that's not possible, you can get tiny in-cabinet electric water heater boosters. I suppose you could also change the setting on your water temp twice a day, depending on how your water is heated.

    How long did you run the water before testing the temp? On a slab it is not uncommon to see temp swings, particularly in a cold environment since you are trying to heat the slab.
