      @starsandrobots yep, I got new taps recently and thermostatic is the way to go - one knob for temperature, one knob for flow (mine can go forwards for shower, backwards for bath). also solves the thing of the shower going scalding or freezing when someone uses a tap elsewhere in the house.

    @starsandrobots (it just loses pressure for a mo) the one thing is that if multiple people are using it, it defaults to the previous person's temperature

      @starsandrobots I'm curious how the internal mechanism works - it's not powered, just automatically adjusts flow according to temperature. also! you can totally get thermostatic taps for cheaper than that link suggests.
