Comment on There should be a "last used combination" faucet handle for sinks so you don't have to balance hot and cold everytime during winter

I’m amazed at the comments explaining incoming water temperature fluctuations and pressures…

No no, thermostatic tap/faucet mixes waters depending on the output temperature. Ignores all of the variables except the thermal mass (I guess reaction speed) of the thermostatic system.

I think they are normally like 10x the price of a standard mixer tap tho.
So, it’s a budget choice

When I bought the faucet for my bathtub, the regular one was 35€ while the thermostatic one was 60€. I wonder why they still make the regular ones

  Yeh, bath/shower ones seem affordable.
  But for a standalone sink, they seem to be significantly more.

Yeah, and obviously if the ‘hot’ water isnt hot, there isn’t anything it can do.
