Let me try that, hadn't thought about a crow's foot.

My thermostatic shower valve was sticking, as in would not turn, and just left me with lukewarm water in the shower. I got a replacement cartridge from Rohl for this and the sink. The sink was easy peasy to replace, took about ten minutes. The 7912 valve after I removed the trim plate is...

all copper.

Feel like this is what it should have looked like to begin with. sigh...

I talked to the armstrong PE. he had an interesting suggestion of putting a tankless feeding the tank vs the way I was thinking. But I think I will try their recirculator first and maybe this in parallel to see if it would help.

you suggesting something like this?

luckily this house has a 2" gas pipe and larger meter and flue size shouldn't be a constraint as i can direct vent out side of the house (about 6') so I have room.

thanks for all the responses. The Indirect tank I have is about 4k. one size bigger is 7k. I reached out to armstrong to see if I can use their recirculator in my system, worth a try for less than 1k and I had one at an previous home and really like how they work. So going to add one to this...

Thanks for all the great responses. I do appreciate it. The Weil indirect tank I have is 80 gal I believe. Next step up is 120 gal and that is 7k for a tank. I reached out to armstrong for a recommendation on a recirculator system. i may try that. It'll be less than 1k to put in and I can go...

40 coming in. Running HTP at 160 for DHW tank.

I called the cashacme folks today. They don't think it will work. I have 1" supply and this is 3/4. I don't want to lose pressure and they think something like this would drop temp even more. I'll just have more lukewarm longer.

how would you suggest I do this? is there a template I can use to figure it out. happy to do it.

I’m not explaining myself well. See video of system here.

So this is how I got my idea. If I feed the tankless from the dhw indirect tank takes my municipal in at 40 let’s say. Then the htp heats the tank to 120. Once I run out and water goes lukewarm then that lukewarm water, say 90 would be my lowest water temp intake. The tankless should easily...

199k - HTP-UFT. Installed 2018. Hard to tell flow need. But if I try to fill up the whirlpool tub, i can't get it filled up with hot water before it runs out. So typically if i do the rainhead shower, and the wife is bathing one of the kids let's say. And another kid jumps in a different...
