I'm really frustrated with the inconsistency of my shower water temperature—sometimes it's boiling hot, and other times it's freezing cold! If cost wasn't an issue, what are the best solutions to maintain a specific temperature for my shower water, even when other people in the house are using the hot or cold water? I'd love some ideas!

You might want to check out smart shower systems that can help regulate the temperature digitally. I know it sounds a bit pricey and complicated, but it could save you from those temperature surprises! Ideally, you’d want a tankless water heater installed close to your shower, combined with a thermostatic mixing valve. This setup helps keep the temperature stable, and you could have separate controls for temperature and water flow. That way, adjusting the water won't mess with your perfect heat setting!
But I’m worried about how well a tankless water heater would function. If someone else uses water, won’t the flow rate change too much and affect the temperature?
Yeah, that setup is definitely the way to go! It’s not too tricky to install if you’re putting in a new shower. Just a heads up about those digital systems, though—when they fail, it can take a while to fix, and it may not just be a simple part. You don’t want to be waiting on repairs!
