eli5: why is there no longer water twmp issues when taking a shower and other people use water?

180 views

I grew up in a house in the US where, when someone was taking a shower, nobody used faucets or the toilet because it would change the tempature of the shower. Scalding hot or freezing cold. It would also drop the pressure.

New houses (post 90s?) don’t have that issue. Temp and preasure stay constant. Why?

My husband says water heaters are bigger, but I think there is more to it than that because the pressure doesn’t really fluxuate, either.

My house was built in the late 90s. The shower goes ice cold if any other water is used. It has to do with how they laid out the plumbing.
