I’m amazed at the comments explaining incoming water temperature fluctuations and pressures…
No no, thermostatic tap/faucet mixes waters depending on the output temperature. Ignores all of the variables except the thermal mass (I guess reaction speed) of the thermostatic system.
I think they are normally like 10x the price of a standard mixer tap tho.
So, it’s a budget choice
There are! They’re called thermostatic faucets.

Yeah, and obviously if the ‘hot’ water isnt hot, there isn’t anything it can do.
When I bought the faucet for my bathtub, the regular one was 35€ while the thermostatic one was 60€. I wonder why they still make the regular ones
Yeh, bath/shower ones seem affordable.
But for a standalone sink, they seem to be significantly more.
