Title: Hot water temp regulation-possible?
Post by: dumbodog00 on September 10, 2008, 04:45:05 PM

     Does anyone know if there is a way to regulate the temperature of the water going into the water heater?  I have an 80 gal. electric water heater (which is off) that the Hardy heated water dumps into.  If we use enough hot water in an evening, the temperature of the water coming out of the tap rises.  I understand and know why this happens, but would like to regulate it.
     My wife and I like hot water, but with kids, we do not want any burns.  Thanks for any input. :)
