I am surprised to hear that the "cold" water should be at room temperature. Mixed with boiling water, the result is hot, rather than luke warm like it is when mixed with refrigerated water. Somehow luke warm seems more "balanced" than hot water. Pete, are you sure about this?
I have been drinking yin/yang water prepared by mixing boiling water with refrigerated water for months and have had some success with it, but have switched to using the room temperature version because of the above posting. I haven't noticed any differences except that the new version is almost too hot to drink quickly.
