I blocked my bypass partially. Based on some posts on this list I think the
head needs a little more flow at cold than they supply.
I need to go back and do it proper but here's what I did to my bypass ...I
took an old tiawan socket that just fit in the bypass hose and stuck it in.
It had about a 3/8 diameter hole through it....
Seems to do the trick.
