Hmmm, maybe your problem is?
1) your are trying to mix HOT and COLD from the unit? I would suspect if you are using a mixing valve from a conventional plumbing there isn't enough pressure...
** if you do have it on a mixer valve, usually a valve will only give you 80% of the hot (safety reasons)... try, hooking the Hot up to cold side of the valve.
2) Remove any water saving features from the shower head. Usually there is some sort of saving restrictor washer you can pry out and remove. This will give you max flow.
Enjoy your shower! BTW, the L5 is 95 bucks shipped via amazon, I bought another for a backup because mine is shutting off at 'cold' start and I have to restart it 30 seconds into the shower. After a second restart it works fine. I'm thinking it's a sensor issue, and since I got about 4.5 years out of the one I got, I looked at parts and they want 10 bucks plus shipping for a sensor I'm not sure if it's the flame sensor or the temp sensor. At any rate, the old one will be the parts machine.
Cheers!
