Couldn't he have installed a tempering valve at the water heater, turned the heat up then installed a second tempering valve at the remote bathroom? Or was it just taking way too long to get any hot water to it?
MLAPPIN, if you are talking to me
..in Minnesota, reidential rental properties can not have DHW set above 125F, and yes his run from DHW to remote bathroom was like 80-100' when including rise and run, etc. Water would get to faucet and be luke warm at best, and it could easily take upwards of 5 minutes plus to get "shower-quality" heat out of the water. For the guy it was cheaper to install and run the small secondary Point-of-use water heater, than any of his other options to keep tenants happy
