Default Valves

With 3 port valve systems, the hot water takes priority. This means
that if there is a demand from the cylinder, then the valve opens in

This is true for three port diversion valves. A three port mid position
valve will also allow both to run at once. This is a better proposal for
slow recovery cylinders since it does not divert the heating for too long.
