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

Why? My favourite showering temperature is right in that interval.

I got a thermostatic shower mixer from ikea and it’s awsome. Just set your preffered temp and it will make sure it stays that way. It wasn’t even that expensive. I wish more people knew about it.

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.

Europe is not one homogenous continent. Here in Europe where I am they are not common, and I’ve been to at least 2 other countries here in Euorpe where these mixers were not common.

Trust me, there are still many households with three super old two knobs style. It’s just impossible to get a usable temperature with them.

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

I found cheaper options too, but decided to go with ikea because they offer replacement ceramic cartrige which is apparently the only thing that can break on these mixers.

You might want to have the mixing gasket replaced in your shower. It’s responsible for mixing hot and cold water in your shower and can be the culprit of your shower being too hot or too cold. They have a limited lifespan and need to be replaced eventually

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.

Is this a joke or the craziest thing I’ve never heard. Is that like the brown note or something?

My shower has its own favorite temperature and will slowly readjust itself to it.
