Hello,
I need some help understanding the valves. I've just got a towel rail installed, never had one before and I don't know what the valves at the bottom exactly do, Unfortunately I wasn't in the house when the rail was installed so I couldn't ask and my landlady doesn't know either.
-The left one seems to get hotter first .
-The valves have no markings whatsoever so I don't know how many turns need to be turned to open them . I put a sticker as a guidance so I can count the turns, normally I just do 1 turn and a half.. but the valve can be turned more turns. How far should I go with the turns? what difference does it make?
- The right one, don't know what it does but I normally turn it the same as the left one.. 1 and a half turns.
- Am I supposed to leave one of them always turned on and when I want the rail off switch the other one off.
- I read about balancing the valves but no idea what that means

thank you
