I know this has bee ndiscussed recently, but I don't think this
particular question has been answered.

When a direct heating combi boiler is used there can be a conflict
between a thermostatic shower mixer and the boiler's own temperature
control. Ideally, to get the most powerful shower, one would like the
boiler runnign aty full tilt, with the water flow adjusted so that the
temperature is nice.

With a thermostatic mixer that controls the hot flow things can go
unstable: Shower is too hot; thermostat reduces the flow of hot; hot
water then gets hotter and shower output gets hotter; thermostat
reduces the hot flow further; boiler cuts out as its outlet temp is too
high; shower goes cold; hermo opens up the hot supply; shower gets too
hot ....

To solve this one needs a thermostatic shower mixer that controls the
cold supply, not the hot and ther woul dbe a limiter in the hot supply
so that 'full on' gives a temperature a bit above a comfortable shower
tempertaure.

Are there any thermostatic mixers that control only the cold flow?

Specifically, for my application, is there one that would mount on the
bath as a conventioanl bath/shower mixer with a spout for the bath and
a hose connection for the shower?

thanks
