whats the scoop on a thermostatic mixing valve at the hotwater outlet? set it at 120 and forget it?
Reading stuff about allowing hotwater in tank to be hot enough to kill bacteria without the risk of scaulding at the point of use. seems most washing machine detergents and dishwashers are ok at 120 degrees.
just would like opinions on this forum as I seem to get the best knowledge on here. If was building a new house seems like a straight run to the washing machine and dishwasher would be best if you wanted full hot hot water and plumb the rest with a TMV but this an existing home,
Any help would be appreciated.
