Low Water Pressure
As John said, the problem can be fixed with a change of regulator
and inlet connection. Here is a link to the photos of my change. http://photosleeve.com/gallery2/v/Gman/Regulator_Fix/ Click on the individual pictures for larger views. As far as the AquaHot is concerned, there is a tempering valve on the AquaHot that can be adjusted if needed. By turning down the amount of cold mixed with the hot, the water will maintain a proper temperature. Rich D.
