Is it weird with your cold water? Looking into it, it seems like it fills up your come water pipe with warm water. Wondering if that affects drinking water coming from your refrigerator or anything like that.
Fridge water is unaffected. The last sinks where the valves are located are lukewarm for 5 seconds or so. The rest of the sinks are normal for me. I have 2 branches so 2 valves.
If your water heater is old (10+ years) and/or in bad shape, it can be full of deposits and in some cases corrosion. Apparently we're all supposed to be bleeding a few gallons from our water heaters monthly to maintain them. I don't know anyone who does.
Our water from the city is total crap (and also the most expensive I've had in my life), so we added a softener and then split all the drinking/cooking water sources off to a RO system. But I'm also the guy with infinite sparkling water on tap from the kegerator in my kitchen (again only a few hundred in equipment and then about $80/yr in CO2, most of which I had from my home brewing hobby anyway).
