Re: Reverse plumbing to water heater
Not only is it plumbed wrong (as others have said), but you do not have any hot water either (as you implied).

There is a specific definition which must be met before water can be considered as being 'hot water'.

From the IRC.

HOT WATER.
Water at a temperature greater than or equal to 110°F (43°C).

And, every dwelling unit is required to have an adequate supply of hot water.
