Hello Thor,
I mean a shower faucet where, on one side there is a knob to set the desired
temperature, and at the other end a knob to control the amount of water.
This later knob serves to open/shut the flow.
Something like that (it looks like the one I bought years ago)

Hi Georges,
thanks for the tip. I might have misunderstood you, because when I do a Google
search for "shower thermostatic faucet" I get results that look like regular
faucet with hot and cold, but cost almost as much as the Hess unit recommended
earlier (I've found one on eBay for $200).
Do you mean just a regular everyday faucet used in a shower where you simply
point the dial to where you want an approximate temperature and the cold/hot
waters are mixed in the faucet? Or did you mean something else?
Best regards,
Thor
