Usage:
For

and 3 - 5 people
If you have
a Jacuzzi tub or body spray shower, you
may need a larger unit or this and a point
of use unit.
This unit
is compatible with most water ambient
water temperatures throughout the lower 48
States.
What is the
temperature of your incoming water? This
will help determine which unit you will
work best for you. It is called the ambient
water temperature.
- You will
need a meat thermometer or candy
thermometer or any thermometer that
will measure down to zero degrees
Fahrenheit.
- Make
sure you are not running any
appliances such as dishwasher or
clothes washer.
- Go to
your kitchen sink and turn on the the
cold water and let it run about a
minute. Hold the end of the
thermometer into the cold water for
another minute. This will tell you
what the ambient temperature of the
water coming into your house is.
In the
northern climates of the US, it is normal
for the ambient temperature of the
water to be between 42 and 54 degrees
all year long. In the lower southern
states or coastal states it can be as much
as 70 degrees.
