This seems accurate.
pretty much.
Mine has a working range that covers about 2 degrees of turning. Either side of that is scald or freeze. I never turn it, I just hint which way I’d like the temperature to change.
mine looks more like the 2nd one. except it ends before the magma starts.
Actually, I’m not sure that adding the second graphic made this joke more great.
true… it was great without the second one
Yes. This is why I actually prefer having separate hot and cold taps: I find that I can actually get a better fine-temperature control that way.
Ooooh, look at me, I got a fancy two-faucet bath, ladida
+1
+2 interents (one for each faucet)
Having 2 taps just means 2 dials you gotta fuck with before finding the small margin of useful shower temperature. Also each tap has like 1080 degrees of rotation even more turning to find the useful zone.
I’d bet your strategy with 2 taps is; turn hot up all the way, slowly turn cold up until useful temp zone is found.
Thats the only way to do it, and once you start to get close to the appropriate temp, then you gotta like tap the cold into the perfect position… and tap it a couple more times after you get used to the hot water. Dont overtap tho, or you’ll scald your ballsack, and nobody likes that.
Actually, that is the way to do it. We have two handles in our shower as well. If you turn the hot up all the way, you don’t have to mess with it after that, just the cold side. It’s easier, IMO, than having just one. My experience with a single handle is that they’re difficult to turn and thus it’s almost impossible to turn them just that smidge to get a good temperature.
wait…. that means your still only really using 1….
I turn the cold up all the way and slowly turn the hot :/
1080 degrees eh? Must come in really clear and pretty then *wink wink*
yes very
This is dumb
..this should be Hacked:IRL..but dumb is as much in the interpreter as the interpretation..
It’s great that all people are exactly the same, have the same temperature tastes and that all heating systems work identically with different shower brands.
..vote it down..i did..
failblog is so fail now
The second panel was predictable and unneeded.
I don’t understand why the ideal range wouldn’t be entirely useful temperatures.
Why should there be “magma” and “ice cold” at all?
And why more “ice cold” than “magma”?
Dunno, but it’s very much like my shower. 2/3′s of it are freezing cold. That showers have such a large section of cold makes no sense to me.

Roflmao!
This is a perfect example for the lack of understanding of basic physical and/or technical principals.
Shower faucets are essentially glorified valves. The single-handle variety simply mixes the hot-water and the cold water in one single sphere-like valve. There is no active regulation going on. There is a direct linear relationship between angle turned and the percentage of hotwater in the stream. Therefore it’s quite obvious that the first half will be mostly cold water with only a little bit of hot water. The “normal” temperature will however most likely consist of mostly hot water.
that is usually not the problem of the faucet (either single or dual) but of the flow heater. They only start heating with a certain pressure and then heat full.
Boilers are better but can run out of hot water.
Just man up and take your magma shower.
No Eddie Izzard references? I am dissappointed…
Seconded, SienaS. Maybe they’re all covered in bees so they can’t make a reference.
Like so much else on this site, this seems like a failure in understanding on the part of the person making the post. Too much cold water range? Turn up the temperature on your hot water heater. Too much hot? Turn it down. It’s not hard. Half the posts on this site these days seem to be completely normal things that some imbecile fails at doing or understanding.
It’s funny that, in the “How they Should Be” diagram, the creator of this image saw a reason to adjust the size of the area of useful shower temperature but seemed to see no need to do away with the “magma” setting.
too many stupid people working at failblog these days
hey! the person who made this graph has taken a shower in my home. please tell me you didn’t use my soap?
The person who made this graph should have put the second panel first, because the second panel is the set up and the first panel is the punchline to the joke. The punchline should come last. FYI: joke theory!
ALLTAMI (n.) – The ancient art of being able to balance the hot and cold shower taps.
[Douglas Adams and John Lloyd, "The Meaning of Liff"]
My shower actually is setup the way it should be; it confuses the hell out of everyone who has ever used it except me.
I think this has more to do with physics and personal preferences than anything else.
Same here. My shower faucet is either ice cold or scalding hot, with an extremely tiny area where everything is just right. I have to be very careful not to bump into it with my arms or whatever, because it may push it out of position and either boil me or shower me with ice water.
Delta huh? Well there’s your problem.
