I've got a Bristan thermostatic mixer with shower outlet. Deck mounted. It's OK (except the knob that switches to shower keeps coming off).
But, if you're filling the bath, even on maximum temperature I'm not getting the same hot water that I do out of the hot tap on the basin 6 feet away. Fed by the same supply.
I assume that's maybe just the nature of thermostatic mixers.
What I really really want is:
Deck mounted taps, with a shower outlet where only the shower mixer is thermostatically controlled. So 4 controls: hot tap, cold tap, shower/tap selector, shower temperature.
I can't find one anywhere. There might be a technical reason why not. Has anybody seen such a thing? Even a manual temperature control for the shower would be an improvement on having to balance hot and cold taps.
Cheers, Mike
