I feel like a mechanical version could be made which has a separate gear ratio for the middle of the operating spectrum.
Alternatively, for the traditional "hot/cold knobs" function, I don't see why a third pressure knob couldn't be added.
I could leave the hot and cold knobs turned exactly where I want them to be, with some arbitrary number dial helping for consistency, and I only have to turn the pressure knob to let the water start running.
I shouldn't have to spend $1500 for that.

- retrac 4y agoA cheap valve between the hot/cold valves and the bath faucet or showerhead can provide that. Unfortunately, single-handle mixer valves aren't usually designed to have their output blocked under pessure like that. So that's when it starts getting expensive and specialized. But with traditional separate hot/cold valves, it works fine.

Features include: - Polished stainless steel case - Intricately geared shower control valve with see through cover - High precision temperature set point control - Compensates for input water pressure / flow to maintain temperature - Comes with unique ID and certificate of authenticity Obviously it will require annual servicing to make sure ensure continued operation. Your smugness will keep you warm long after your hot water runs out.
