Where are the rupee rewards?

Each morning I wake up to a broken shower. The stupid thing has three knobs: 2 control the hot and cold water, and the last controls the transfer of water from the faucet to the shower head. The problem is that they are all labeled incorrectly. I used to get annoyed with the setup until I solved the riddle:

Which single knob should I turn in order to know instantly what each knob controls. Bear in mind that in the morning, the pipes are cold and it takes too long for the hot water to turn hot.

I’ve seen this puzzle in a few incarnations around the web and it wasn’t until I had this broken shower that I found a practical use for it.
