Agree about most plumbers being clueless, disagree that they're all that complicated. They're *precise*, and have sensors and motorized valves and whatnot. But they aren't hard to figure out.

I had an out-of-the-box issue with mine, fixed it with help directly from the Bosch folks. We diagnosed it over the phone, they overnighted the part, two spring clips and a wire connector, bada-bing.

Plumber was thrilled to let me do it, he was out of his depth. On the other hand he did a first rate installation job and knew all the building code foo plus tricks learned from other installs. Just don't ask him to fix it.
