Hi All,
I am looking at purchasing a tankless hot water heater and the Rinnai I am thinking of has a remote with a bath fill feature. Basically, you tell it how many gallons of hot water you want and the temperature you would like it and it will fill the bath with the specified volume of hot water at the specified temperature and then turn off. So in theory you can walk away while the tub fills up.
Easy enough if I had a separate faucet for hot and cold water. However, I have a shower mixing valve so I was wondering if I adjust the mixing valve to maximize the hot water and then turn the mixing valve to full hot will I get the same result? I figure that the water volume and temperature would work but would when the water heater stops the flow of the hot water would the water stop at the mixing valve to or would I just get cold water coming out?
