Water Temperature

[countrymom]

I just went to the Home Depot web site trying to find it also. This is all I came up with so far. This is called a MOEN Rough-in Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Cycling Valve with Stops which is $78.

Here is another thing I found that might be it as well. This one is called a MOEN Rough-in Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Cycling Valve and is only $64.

I have them installed in my house. Its alot of work if you have to take the wall down. We acually did this so when you flush the toilet you don't end up with scalding water and my kids can't use all the hot water. Its really worth it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a hot shower person. My husband always wonders how I still have skin left. Now that our water temp is below 120 degrees, I can't enjoy it, let alone take a bath!

I'm going to Home Depot this weekend!

This is what I have in my downstairs bathroom and under our handwashing sink. It is fairly simple to install and is a lot cheaper than some of the other alternatives out there.

Free fix for water being too hot!

We had the same problem, and my solution was FREE! We have a single handle faucet in our bathroom sink. I took the handle off and discovered there were stops on the handle to keep you from being able to turn the handle too far left or right. I stuck two pieces of glue stick in the handle (to make the stops bigger). So now you can not turn the water all the way to hot. Just to warm. It was really easy.

Crazy as it might sound I run the dishwasher or laundry washer when I want a great shower. They both use cold water so the cold water is being diverted and I get a hotter shower Haven't figured out the bath issue though.

I purchased a faucet for the daycare bathroom at Home Depot a few years ago that has an adjustment on it that you can turn to alter how hot the water gets. It has been very handy and have not had any problems with it.

Anythings possible

Appendix 39 (page 208) of the New Brunswick Operator Manual for Early Learning Childcare says water temperatures should not exceed 49C/120F at point of use.
