I see. Not exactly ideal, I'd venture to say.

Problem is that shower temperature is one of those problems that is enough to be annoying but not enough to demand being solved.

Didn't know about thermostatic mixers. Thanks.

Arent’t these standard everywhere? These things are super common here in Europe.

I got mine from Aldi for 40€. It works perfectly and turns easier than some of the expensive models at my friend's house.

This makes a lot of sense because my shower is too cold Right untill last half inch of motion Then is goes to too hot

How long is their lifespan usually?

I was in a doom metal band call Melty Melty Bones. We had to call it quits because it turned out that our music rumbled at a frequency that caused osteoporosis.

Moopsy!

That's my shower!

Isn't there a physical limit to solving this problem? For me the problem is typically, that the water in the hot pipe has cooled down, so the first few seconds/half a minute it slowly rises in temperature until finally the pump of the boiler sets in to pump actually hot water back into the system. Only then can I reliably find a temperature mix that stays stable.

Mine is digital. Just set to desired temp and power and away you go.
