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.
