Re: Smart Bath Plug

["Davey" <DB1001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a thermostatic mixing valve to the hot water input to the bath/ faucet.
The valve has a wax capsule that maintains a stable temperature. Shuts off
automatically if either the hot water or cold water fails.

Saves scalding your kids or granny

Just my 2p's worth
