How do you increase the hot water limit on the Monitor 1700 faucet

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

Can you adjust the flow and temperature separately? If so, I don't think you have a standard valve.

Other than getting a different faucet, just don't know. Hope you have better luck with it than I did. Went to a PUR and like it a lot better.

One uses the valve at the faucet furthest away from the water heater. Each faucet or outlet along the line leading up to that point should have improved hot water. If there are significant side "branches" in the water supply "tree" serving the house, then using a valve at the terminus of each branch should improve heat to those areas as well.

Yes, read directions, before u do anything. You will love how fast it gets your hot water to your farthest faucet.

I ditto the suggestion to visit mfg site. All sorts of ideas there to help you calculate your demand. I love this unit and have never been without hot water since installing

I had a similar problem and I couldn't turn the valve all the way to the left (to hot). My contractor had to adjust the internals so that the valve could turn all the way and that solved the problem. (I had an earlier problem after the new valve was temporarily installed that caused other faucets not be as hot as they should. My understanding is there was a plug missing in the Delta that allowed the hot and cold water in the system to mix. In either event, a plumber should be able to diagnose and correct the problem).

I don't think this is an option. I would suggest another faucet. This one is a very cheap model.

install as you would any other faucet. you will need to use(2) water lines with an adaptor on the hot qand cold water line to the faucet. check your battery compartment . i have 2 customers angry because i can't seem to get them replaced.

Making sure you realize, I am NOT the seller of this item. But faucet add-ons are all similar. Un-screw the old piece. Should only be half inch to inch max in height. There will be threads on the inside of the faucet (where the water comes out). There will be threads on the outside of the attachment. Simply screw it in once the original faucet piece is off.

You have about a half inch of thread going into the faucet. more than enough

I can't see this would be any help. The hot water is a continuous circulation and doesn't take that much electricity. Using a motion detector would mean you'd have to wait for the hot water to reach the faucet.

Just do not tighten it on all the way. It will raise the water level and allow more water to flow out.

The recirculating pump runs continuously when turned on. The valve simply controls when hot water begins to seep into the cold water line which is what makes the hot water always available at faucets with the valves installed. Depending on the pump you have, you can either program it to run 27/7 or as I do, program the timer on the pump to be on at certain times and off otherwise. Mine is programed to be on from 7 am to 9 am, then again from 9 pm until 11 pm. I also can override the timer when I need hot water at unanticipated times. If you run the pump continuously, it will greatly increase the amount of energy used to keep the water heated. Hope that helps. The recirculating pump runs continuously when turned on.

Add 2 to push pull your water radiator, your case may require more elsewhere. Easy to do good luck.

Haven't installed faucet as yet. Sorry I don't have an answer for you at this time. Sue

Yes you can adjust the temperature and how much water is flowing while the faucet is on. You need to use the handle to do this.
