Observe while I shower comfortably with:

When I first moved to Japan over twenty years ago they were already about a hundred years ahead of typical US toilet/bath technology. For me, using one of these faucets where you can just set the temperature by number was like Liko getting beamed from her hut directly onto the damn Enterprise.

Interesting, so it adjusts the flow of hot/cold in the fly to keep a consistent temp? That's amazing, thought I imagine it would have the same issue I have at the end of the shower where it's on 100% hot just to eke out a bit more time

Growing up in rural France, we had these at home for as far as I can remember. They may not have been the norm 30 years ago, but at least common.

I really don't understand how this is still not the standard everywhere.. The cheapest ones aren't even that expensive and already way better than the alternative.. Don't think I've not showered with one of these in the last 25 years, except for in some kind of social housing projects homes.

Yes, but that is not a fair comparison, these are European.

Except British homes which have two separate showerheads, one fully hot and the other fully cold.

The trick is to spin.

Ah wel… the British have always been a bit particular to be honest.

British when straight into inventing the radar and completely skipped over the invention of warm water.

This technology is only possible with degree Celsius. It is impossible to adapt to degree Fahrenheit.

You might have a point there

Same man, it's been a dream since installing this.

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

These things existe for at least 30 years, I don't understand why anyone would want to use anything else for a shower or bathtub.
