: No, I havent. I will speak to our plumber about such. Would this mean there would be no hot water at times until the coil heats a new amount, or just reduce the amount drawn at any one time?
The flow limiter prevents the water from passing through faster than it can be heated, so with the proper limiter, the water would reach a lowest available temperature and you would not be able to draw more. With a mixing valve, the water flow rate would reach a maximum and washing machines, showers with a pressure/temperature balancing valve would adjust to the available flow rate.
