Questions and answers
can I adjust the mix of hot and cold water entering a household
The AQUATECH RAPID/X6 does not control or limit the hot water pressure delivery in any way. The mix of hot and cold water is determined by your home's plumbing system, including pressure-restricting or tempering valves that may have been installed by your plumber. If you need to adjust the mix, you should check these valves or consult your plumber.
