Domestic hot water pressure

[pattypape]

Dave,

I called Versa-Valve, they also indicated that the valve may be
cleaned and serviced,usually without damage, but an O ring & gasket
kit is available.

I have already installed a hot water tank by-pass, as to not fill the
HWT with the pink stuff,,
Since I do not have a plumbing drawing, When you removed the valve,
How did you plumb the two cold input lines???
Did you plug the purge line??? Or did you join them together???
Patty wants hot-water.
Thanks,
