Right, I've at last fitted my Triton Tyne bar mixer. When you adjust the temperature in a certain direction, you get an initial rush too far in that direction before it settles down. The faster you make the adjustment, the bigger the rush. When increasing temperature you thus get hotter than expected, and I assume above the set temperature, so this could be a safety issue. This is not the boiler, since the temperature change is too quick.I was expecting more like a gradual move towards the desired temperature. Is this a usual behaviour of these types of mixers ? This also makes me wonder exactly how the thermostatic cartridges work. Anyone know what happens in there when you change the temperature ? Simon.
