用できるようになるので加熱費が安くなる。In this way, when the hot water mixing type heating method is used in the middle of the hot water pipe, the hot water can be rapidly heated to the set temperature in a safe state where the hot water does not directly jet into the bathtub.
At the same time, cheap night power, solar heat, kerosene, etc. can be used as a heating source, so the heating cost can be reduced.

になる。Further, since a water absorption pump which operates according to the temperature of the hot water is provided in the water absorption pipe, when the temperature of the hot water is lowered, the operation of the water absorption pump allows the hot water flowing through the pipe line of the main body of the apparatus to flow smoothly. A part of the hot water is poured into the hot water tank, and the same amount of hot water as this is flowed out, and the hot water can be mixed with the hot water flowing through the pipe of the main unit to heat it, and the hot water can be opened and closed according to the hot water temperature. By using the mixer to mix with the purified hot water, the hot water temperature can be adjusted more accurately.
