    I also have seen the modulating draw offs in action and knowing what I know now, I would have paid the couple hundred extra for a modulating unit instead of getting just an open/close valve. I...

    I have two SL golds...one I dropped in the cup and instantly knew it was off by the reference line. New hydro on left.
