Default Bathtub water re-heater

Just had an idea wilst having a soak... if you have a jetted bathtub, could you not T-in to the jets with a line to a 'quick' water heater of some type?

The reason I thought of this is, when you're having a long bath and it eventually cools off, what's your first instinct? Drain some water and fill it back up with new hotter water right??? So not only are you paying to heat more water, you're also paying more for the additional water, as well as the sewage bill to pay for the water you're dumping down the drain!

So if you could plumb in some kind of circulating heater in the tub, you would at least lessen the amount of water you consume right? I'm sure there has to be a smaller more efficient way of heating smaller quantities of water on demand than a hot water tank. (maybe pull off of your solar hot water resevoir?

Pattent Pending... :P
