Why does the temperature gauge on my shower have so little margin for error?

631 views

All my life. Every shower I have ever been in has the most sensitive temperature gauge. One tiny movement turns the water from freezing to boiling. Doesn’t this kind of defeat the point of having a whole swinging arm when I can move it a millimeter and feel like I’m burning myself?

Yes could not agree more, this is such a common problem that it is ordinary, but occurs in so most places and types of accomodation from the most humble to the palatial, from homes to hotels, I have travelled UK EU Asia bit of US, most OZ and 9 X out of 10, the shower‘s hard to get right and there’s something tricky with the temperature. My sisters for instance fluctuates hot and cold throughout the shower time. The instructions are turn hot tap all the way on, then tiny increments of cold, but temperature is totally inconsistent and both burns and freezes you within a minute then repeatedly does that. Yet I love a good shower. Such an incredible difference in rare cases shower is lovely and easy to set and have, that it makes those occasions memorable! And yes if staying in many places you get tips! It is ridiculous.
