A thermostatic valve can compensate but not a tank water heater if I’m still understanding you correctly.Twice a year, like clockwork some of us here in the US and around the world have to reset our time keeping mechanisms to keep up with the insanity that is Daylight Savings Time. Similarly, twice a year some of us have to jack up or jack down the temperature of our hot water heaters to keep our shower water control valves in their "sweet spot". Additionally and probably not germane to my question, when I lower the setting on the hot water heater in the summer months, this also causes the dishwasher to have to electrically heat the water it receives which I would think is a net energy use increase over simply getting hot enough water from the water heater itself.
Yes, I know this is probably a first-world problem, but has anybody designed a hot water dispensing system that automatically senses the temperature of the incoming cold water supply and "automagically" does something to compensate for this phenomenon?
A thermostatic valve automatically adjusts hot and cold to a specific temp you set.
I leave my tank at about 135 yr round.
