So... I visit Home Despot, then Lowe's then go online to a couple of outfits. They all sell single function, temperature control faucet valves in all of their sets. What's with this?
For example, I look at a couple of Moen's. They are all sold with the "Posi-Temp" valve, which means it will only control the temperature. But Moen also sells their Moentrol valve which controls both temperature and flow rate... just like all the old single handle shower faucets used to do.
Same thing with Delta... everything in the big box stores and most of the stuff on the websites controls temperature only... no volume control. And yet, like Moen, Delta sells both... single function temperature control and dual function temperature and flow control. As a matter of fact, Delta sells "Multi Choice Universal Valves" where the valve body is the same but the insert gives you one or two function control. Interchangeable Shower Valve with MultiChoice® Technology | Delta Faucet
So... I don't get it... why all of a sudden is my home shower supposed to be like far too many hotel room showers... on/off, temp control but no water flow control?
TIA
