..and a mixer valve on the shower is even worse since cold side overuns the hot side after a few minutes. need to have individual H & C faucets.

I have a suggestion for water heaters. Buy local...because when something happens, you can either replace it or fix it. We only use electric 110 volt Rheum tanks because they are available everywhere here, you can get the replacement heating element easily locally, no worries about the pilot light burning out and they are economical too. We use a smaller tank and install a switch to turn it on and off and it heats up in 15 minutes...quick and easy.

I often see expats bringing in stuff from the states that is a nightmare as it is often incompatible with plumbing here and impossible to fix or get parts for.

So..buy local and have less problems...likely to be cheaper too.
Good advice, down here Bosch on demand heaters are sold at Costco and Home Depot.

...and they don't have all the "safety" interlocks that the US requires + a lot cheaper.
