How does a booster heater work?
Tank boosters work by mixing cold water from the input valve with the heated water that comes out of the hot water valve. With a tank booster, the water heater temperature can be set to 140 F but will come out at 120 F, meaning less hot water is coming out of the tank and increases storage capacity.
How do I get more hot water out of my hot water heater?
Tempering Valve: If your current water heater is fairly new, well insulated, and in good condition, adding a tempering valve (aka. mixing valve) to your water heater can soup up your hot water capacity.
