How the Cash Acme Tank Booster Pro works:
The Tank Booster Pro is a mixing valve that combines hot and cold water to ensure that water is delivered at a constant safe temperature to outlet fixtures such as showers, baths, and faucets. This means that the temperature of the water heater can be increased to 140°F (60°C) without the risk of scalding. The hotter 140°F (60°C) water mixes with cold water until it can be released from the valve at a safe 120°F (49°C). Mixing the hot water with cold water means that less hot water is drawn from the water heater, therefore boosting the water heater’s capacity and the amount of usable hot water for the home.
Installing a Tank Booster Pro increases the amount of usable hot water by as high as 234% on gas water heaters and 125% on electric water heaters. The amount of hot water available may change based on the size and manufacturer of the water heater, flow rate, and the cold water inlet temperature.
