[0002] Taking a hot shower can relieve fatigue, relax muscles, and promote metabolism. However, in the cold winters of northern regions, the low inlet water temperature may prevent the hot water from reaching the desired temperature. Currently, two solutions are generally used in this situation: First, reduce the water flow to achieve the desired shower temperature; second, place a heating element before the water heater inlet for simultaneous heating. The disadvantages of these two solutions are: 1. Low water flow reduces shower comfort; 2. Placing a heating element before the water heater inlet, especially with an instantaneous water heater, can lead to overheating of the wiring, short circuits, or even fires if the water heater has high instantaneous power.
