      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.

        These things existe for at least 30 years, I don’t understand why anyone would want to use anything else for a shower or bathtub.

            Definitely not :) I had to get it replaced at my flat this year. There is a filter inside that can get block if you have hard water or debris.

                Don’t let that stop you getting the ultimate shower experience! My parents also have water with very high calcium at their house and I don’t think they had any problems with the faucet in the past 15 years.

                I live in a rented place, they were doing repairs to the heating systems, several times we had brown water coming out the tap. I bet they installed the cheapest option, plus the debris in the water, this fucked it.

                Just invest in a good thermostatic faucet and never look back !
