I Am Remodeling A Condo Bathroom And Want To Know: Is There Is Any Way To Have Consistent Hot Water?

Filed under Remodeling Q & A
The building is old (built 1903) and the water occasionally gets scalding hot in the shower if a neighbor uses water (eg- flushes a toilet) regardless of my shower settings. I am considering a remodel of the bathroom and was wondering if there is any way to correct for this so the water temperature is consistent irregardless of what others in the building are doing. Is this possible?

The mixer valve,or called a diverter valve that adjusts the hot / cold water now is made ( by code) with a piston that stops that problem even when a stool in the next room or the dish washer is put in use.
The water temp coming from that valve will remain a consistance temp as not to scald or freeze you. GL

An in-line water heater would solve that problem. they are fairly inexpensive and work very well. Switching to an in-line will also go far in lowering your gas or electric bill since they only heat water as you need it

It can be done, it is a valve that goes in line with the pipes. I can’t remember what it is called, call a plumbing supply store, they can tell you.

Instant hot water heater, you dont need your own unit just a return.

you would need your own water tanks.
