      When I first moved to Japan over twenty years ago they were already about a hundred years ahead of typical US toilet/bath technology. For me, using one of these faucets where you can just set the temperature by number was like Liko getting beamed from her hut directly onto the damn Enterprise.

        Growing up in rural France, we had these at home for as far as I can remember. They may not have been the norm 30 years ago, but at least common.

        Interesting, so it adjusts the flow of hot/cold in the fly to keep a consistent temp? That’s amazing, thought I imagine it would have the same issue I have at the end of the shower where it’s on 100% hot just to eke out a bit more time

      I really don’t understand how this is still not the standard everywhere… The cheapest ones aren’t even that expensive and already way better than the alternative… Don’t think I’ve not showered with one of these in the last 25 years, except for in some kind of social housing projects homes.
