Abstract
The present inventive concept relates to a system (100) comprising: a water recirculating device comprising: a heating arrangement (112) arranged in a recirculating path (108); a mixing valve arrangement (122) in liquid communication with an external ON water path arrangement (114), said mixing valve arrangement (122) accepting as inputs hot and cold water from a hot and cold water source respectively, said mixing valve arrangement (122) being configured to form temperature regulated water (120) by combining said hot and cold water, said mixing valve arrangement (122) comprising a user input interface configured to control a proportion of said hot and cold water directed to said external water path arrangement (114); and a reference temperature determining arrangement (130) configured to determine a reference water temperature of said temperature regulated water (120); wherein said heating arrangement (112) is configured to adjust a water temperature of treated water towards said reference water temperature.
