You obviously don't understand how it works. to Prevent Scalding without the Mixing valve, you would have to set your Hot water Heater to 120 or less. So then you have a limited Supply of 120 degree hot water. Call it 30 gallons. With the Added Mixing Valve, you can Now set your Hot water Heater to Higher than 120. Maybe set it at 150. So the Tank now has the Same 30 Gallon Limited amount of Hot water, but at a Much Higher Temperature 150. To Prevent Scalding, the Valve mixes in Cold Water to reduce the 150 degree hot water down to 120. This gives you a Much larger Volume of 120 degree Water, than what the Tank Alone could produce. Instead of only 30 gallons at 120, you will now have 50 gallons At 120. You're NOT saving on your Total Water usage, you are just Increasing the Volume of available HOT water from the Same Size Tank. The Cost is the Increase in Energy needed to Heat and Maintain the Tank from 120 to 150. Yes, there is an Increased energy cost.

You obviously don't understand how it works. As mentioned in the video and clarified in multiple comments now, the capacity was increased ONLY by turning up the hot water, NOT by adding the mixing valve. The mixing valve reduces scalding potential, yes. That was also made clear in the video. But if you're heating your water to 150º, it doesn't matter whether you mix the cold water at the tank (TMV) or at the tap; your total capacity is the same. So if you want 120º water coming out your showerhead, mix it wherever you want...it's drawing the same amount of 150º water out of the hot water heater either way. But my way--dropping the TMV--you're saving yourself $350 - $500. :D

With it being “full time” 4x4. How does the steering feel? Does it have a lot of binding on tighter turns? Hard on grass?
@kentcan23 күн бұрын
First, let me mention that this machine sold a few months ago, so there is no motivation in my response other than to provide you with some honest information. 😊 Second, I have owned a couple dozen of these Hondas from the late 90s/early 2000s, and what I have found is that when people have a full-time 4x4 machine that they say is hard to steer, it's pretty much always because of bad ball joints. The ones I have had that were hard to steer were fixed by replacing the ball joints. Third, no there is no binding on hard turns. You can research Honda's front differential to find out more about why this is, but suffice it to say, it was a good design that provided for both nimble steering and excellent traction. Of course the steering isn't as easy as newer machines with power steering, but if you take a full-time 4x4 and compare it to a selectable 4x4 Polaris or Kawasaki from the same era, the steering is going to feel similar as long as the ball joints are good.

I’ve been shopping for a good used machine here in Michigan. Thank you to the men who shared good advice with me for things to look at when buying used. I drove 90 minutes one way yesterday to look at an 03 Rubicon. Because of this video, your comments and a few other videos I was able to identify several significant issues with that machine. The owner wouldn’t negotiate and wasn’t interested in hearing what was wrong with it. When i got back home he asked me what I found and asked me to make an offer. By that time I wasn’t interested, mostly because i knew it had a LOT of issues that were not disclosed. He didn’t like my offer but immediately lowered his asking price on marketplace. I’m proud of myself for walking away. Thanks again all.

So first your water heater by code should only be set at 120 degrees for scalding reasons not 140. You are wrong. So this is when I stopped listening to you. No one's water heater is set at that unless they turned it up themselves. This booster has no heating element and does not advertise it. It is what you said it mixes the water. This is a thermostatic mixing valve to increase your hot water usage. Third you need to increase your water heaters thermostat to 160 - 180 to get the proper usage of this. Fourth you must've hired a handyman because it is not code to have less than 18" of copper coming off your water heater and must have a bonding wire. And please dont say youre going to teach someone how a water heater works when the only explanation you say is cold water comes in and heats it and sends it out. That is no way an explanation of how it functions. Sounds like this is how a toaster works,you put bread in push the lever down and it comes out toast. Wow! So these do work. Again water heaters are set at 120 max for residential use. You install th mixing valve and increase the thermostat to 160-180. Then reduce the temp coming out down to 118-120. This is where most customers feel comfortable. Amything lower they do not typically like. Then as yo use the hot water, yes the cold water mixes enough to reduce lets say 180 down to 120. Now you have an extended point of use where you can take a 40 gallon water heater and increase it to now being compared to a larger capacity of 60 to 75 gallon tank. These wirk excellent and especially since the government did away with 80 gallon electric.

Two things two say to you, one to everyone else. 1. Plumbing code is state- and county-specific, so unless you work in my state and county, you're bringing more arrogance to the conversation than true knowledge. 2. I laid out my case pretty well in the video and then even more so in the comments. Saying "it works" or "you're wrong" does nothing to refute my claims. 3. To everyone else, notice how all the plumbers in these comments who are mad at me for exposing this high-profit device! That should tell you something right there! Watch their videos, watch my videos, do your research, and make your decision. I for one won't get upset with you if you take a position that disagrees with mine. But then...that's because I've got nothing to lose. 😄

@@KeithHaynes87 Well, first thing would be to keep in mind a rule of thumb I like to use a lot for these ATVs that are 20 plus years old: if it doesn't have anything wrong with it today, it will tomorrow. Even a well-maintained ATV is used outdoors and is going to have issues with water, sun, and weather. That being said, there are definitely a couple of standard items I check when buying an atv. First, you are of course going to check for leaks. Look under the bottom for any wet spots. Ask the seller to see where it usually parks. Second, I test the charging system. Use a Multimeter and check the voltage at the battery while it is running. An ATV with a good charging system will read somewhere around 13.5 when running. Third, jack up the rear of the machine. Put it in two-wheel drive and make sure only the rear wheels spin. Then put it in four-wheel drive and make sure the front wheels try to pull it off the jack. Finally, you can reasonably expect some wear on common maintenance parts. Things like ball joints and wheel bearings. And as always, these old Hondas almost always need brake work on the front or the back, or both. If both the front and rear brakes work decently right now as is, you've got yourself a good one! 😁

@@KeithHaynes87Make sure that you really check everything before buying. I have a 2004 Rubicon 500. We did not check when buying it, and now it's sitting in the shop. The FWD worked at first, then after a couple rides the front tires stopped working. And now it has a stator problem, and won't charge while running it. But if it is taken real care of (like the one in the video), these Honda's will take a beating.

I'm not persuaded. With the valve you are using less water from the tank which means less cold water is being added to the tank which means the temperature in the tank is higher. I'm not claiming the valve will double your hot water but you will certainly have more hot water available.

@dus10dnd4 ай бұрын
How could it possibly double the hot water? If the normal temp is 120F and you increase to 140F or 150F, you're only increasing the temperature by 20-25%. That's all using a TMV that will reduce the temperature back down to 120F will gain you.... 20-25%. That being said, they do work. Did you not increase the temperature of your hot water heater??? That is the entire point of this. The TMX won't do anything if you don't increase the temperature. You dramatically increase the temperature and you use less of it. The point isn't that you can control the temperature at point of use... it is that it is dangerous to have 150F water at the point of use. Yes, if you use your brain and never accidentally pump the handle, you can use handle it yourself at your shower or at your clothes washer. But, when you have to rush your children, or yourself, to the hospital for a burn, that wouldn't be good. It seems that you just don't understand how this is supposed to work.

If if if this was installed correctly the water going to your fixtures hot water valve will be exactly the same as it was before installation......the user would notice no difference whatsoever If if if your water heater was set at 120* before installation, then after installation it should be turned up to 140* and the device set at 120*....what's going to your fixtures is exactly the same Most likely you had your water heater set at 140* and your professional installer decided you needed 120 going to your fixtures, when it should have been set at 140* and the water heater turned up to guess 160* Set your device to same temp as your water heater, the increase temp on water heater This device is NOT intended to save you money, its purpose is to make your hot water last longer, and it certainly will do that if it is installed correctly

I know what your problem is. You were accustomed at having 140° water in your home. Now with the thermostatic mixing valve, it limits your water temperature to 120, which is the normal safe temperature. The way the mixing valve works is you set your hot water heater more than 120, for example 140, and then when the cold water is added it goes back to 120. So if you wanna go back to 140° water you need to remove the mixing valve because it is set at 120° maximum to prevent scolding. The purpose of a mixing valve is to give you more volume and it’s also a safety feature which I don’t think you understood. These mixing valves work efficiently but you need to keep your heater at a higher temperature so you can have a constant 120° water which is safe. You on the other hand, normally have your water heater set at 140°, which is unsafe.
@davidunderwood43415 ай бұрын
From what I'm understanding is this will supply more hot water simply because the mixing valve allows you to crank the tank temp as high as you want. With that said, you're compromising having hot water for longer, but putting a shorter life on your tank. Is my analysis correct?

I find it funny that after thousands of years of civilization, there is still a large segment of the population that can't tolerate having their preconceived notions questioned without getting all bent out of shape! 😄 I'm not going to reply to any more individual comments, but for the sake of those viewers wanting to learn about this topic, let's be clear: all claims below (or otherwise) that a TMV will increase your hot water *are based on the assumption you are going to turn up the heat on your hot water heater*! This little detail is not divulged in most TMV advertising, nor was it discussed by my plumber when he recommended and installed my Tank Booster. So sure--if you turn up your hot water heater, you're going to get more hot water. Duh! That's the case with or without a TMV! The TMV simply allows you to turn up the thermostat while delivering lower-temperature hot water to your outlets. So it IS a good safety device if you want to turn up your hot water to 140º or more. But that's not what this video is about. 🙂 TMVs do not increase hot water; only turning up your temperature will increase hot water capacity. This little detail is less efficient and more costly. It might work for your situation, and that's great...but let's be honest about what's actually happening. My family of seven had a 50-gallon hot water heater. We installed the TMV at the recommendation of our plumber, then a year later the water heater reached the end of its life and we installed a 55-gallon heater--the largest water heater we could find without going commercial. Commercial would be great, sure...but they are $3k+, so not feasible for most families. It was after I installed the new 55-gallon water heater and reattached the TMV that I realized the TMV wasn't really doing anything to increase our hot water capacity. If you need more hot water, turn up the temp or get a new heater. Don't waste your money on a TMV because it's not going to fix your problem. Only buy a TMV if you need to turn up your temperature and want to send lower-temp water to your taps.

One more thing is that this thing is easy to get clogged so that you feel the hot water pressure gone low if your water source is a well in your front yard. I am using the well water, and I want to get rid of it on my hot water tank. My house was built 2 years ago, but I have had it replaced once already because I still have had no idea how to clean it up and restore it into a normal working condition, though every 6 months I will have the tank flushed. And just for 7 months now after the replacement, I have found the hot water pressure gone low, again.
