Here is some actual data we can discuss (link to data): Hypothesis: does reducing the flow rate on a DHW cycle increase the dT, allowing more time f...
I have an NRG Zone and the DHW circuit is taken off one of the "zones". This "zone" has a dedicated circulation pump which I have reduce the speed on....
