Have 1.5 gpm & want a 11F boost. Can you remove the restrictor and hook the cold supply to the hot water line? Mine runs at 116F at the tap.

Not sure but, when I was using anything other than the .5 gpm this unit throw's the circuit breaker

removing the restrictor is first of all dangerous. second it voids the manufacture warranty. and is not advised.

If you're getting 116F you are an extremely lucky individual. Mine might reach 100 on a warm day. I don't really undersand your question, but if you increase the flow of water throught the device, your effective temperature will be reduced.

Hello Madlin: You are not getting water into the hose leading from your water supply to the unit. I wish I could help but I had a plumber install mine. I believe that the plumber may have hooked my cold water line into the tank. Then the hot into the water line under the sink. Try phoning the store. I got mine at Amazon. Sorry Madlin, and good luck.

I have a hot and cold system and it works like a dream. The water goes from filter to separate heating tank however. Not sure how your system is set up.

Hi Li D, Don't hook up the hot water connection. This unit functions perfectly with cold water connection only. Mine does.

Yes. this is normal. Because you are pushing the water from the hot water side to the cold water side. The valve will stop the flow of water from the hot to cold water side at a certain threshold temperature. And this temperature is somewhere on the warm side. Therefore the cold water side will be warmer than expected and you will have to run the cold water side until you get the water to the cooler temperature that you want. This is one of the drawbacks of this type of system. It cannot be helped. It's basically a compromise based on the need to get hot water faster. The only way you will truly get the instant hot water and cold water is to set up your plumbing system whereby the entire hot water supply line daisy chains all your fixtures such that the last fixture has a hot water return line running all the way back to the water heater. But this will cost you money to have a plumber do that. This hot water recirculating system is a compromise to save costs.

I had a problem with a 2.0 GPM showerhead and my Rheem 13 instant on heater. If you don't demand enough hot water (.5gpm) the heater will not even come on and I had a problem with the water temp switching hot cold hot cold. I went up to a 2.5 GPM shower head and it works fine. I personally would not recommend under a 2.5 GPM showerhead. If you're just using hot water it will be fine, it is true that the lower the flow the hotter the water. But if you're trying to mix hot and cold, if you anywhere near one-third hot and two thirds cold it won't even come on with a 1.5 gpm fixture.

The sensor has an 1/8"NPT pipe thread. If you want to install it on the cooler line you would need a T fitting big enough as to not restrict the flow and a reducer to get the T down to 1/8NPT. The way I did it was to pull the trans pan and install a fitting through the side like this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HE6HA6/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hayden Automotive 270 Oil Temperature Gauge Sender Fitting.

This is probably not going to work for you. This is an _automatic_ waterer, designed to be bolted down to a concrete pad with the water plumbed from below ground (and well below the frost line). The power is a simple AC plug, but the power also needs to be run out through the concrete pad which requires conduit and a receptacle located within the waterer's cavity. For your application I'd just get a 100 gallon water trough and a floating heater.

All on demand hot water heaters are rated GPM If you try to use more then the GPM system you buy ,it will not work out for you. I needed 1.5 GPM and I bot a 3 GPM and we are very happy with it.

Can you add a badket? You could possibly run it straight to filter pump. Depends on what kind of filter you have.

I have not installed mine yet but If your water was hotter with the old valve there is likely an adjustment to the mixing valve that will allow more hot water through. I only know this because I watched my plumber friend adjust the mixing valve while holding a thermometer under the water stream. There is a temp you should not exceed to avoid accidental scalding. ie children playing with the faucet. I recommend checking instruction regarding adjustment of the mixing valve.

I would suggest consulting a plumber. I have had two Titans in the past 14 year and both have worked well for the entire townhouse. Its only "shortfall" is the temperature drop-off if a second faucet is opened simultaneously. Here in South Florida the base water temperature is high enough that a "cold shower" is not cold by most standards.

There is a safety catch on the hot water lever. You have push it in while pushing down at the same time. There's also a hot wter switch in the back. However, we only hooked our cooler to cold water as we didn't need the hot water at home.

While this has both hot and cold water functions, just get a "Y Connector" with an extra feed line and run both the hot and cold valve openings to the cold water line ONLY. Simple fix for $15 or less at any hardware store. Hook up the included lines to the hot and cold openings as shown in the directions, then put both into the Y Connector and have that connect that to the cold water pipe with another line. Simple move to get done what you want. The faucet can then only supply cold water no matter which way, except off, the handle is positioned to. This is a nice faucet for the price and spending a bit extra to make it cold water only would be worth it if that is what you are after.

I doubt there is ever a wide enough temperature differential between the cold tap water and the air in your house for this to be a problem. Do you have condensation on your current external tank?

I used to have a picture of my setup up on the page, but it appears to have dissapeared. I attached a T to the outlet and placed a pressure tank on one outlet, and the water line to the other part of the T. I have had no issues. this is the tank i usedWatts DET-5 2.1 G Potable Water Expansion Tank for 50-Gallon Water Heaters

Well I have mine hooked up to a water chiller but it would just be regular cold tap otherwise.
