I'm not sure if this is just how single handle faucets work or if it's something I can fix.
On full blast I set the temp I need then as I reduce the flow the temperature gets hotter.
Is this just a factor of the geometry of the mixing valve?
Would a remote pressure balancer help?
 
I think it may be just the geometry of the faucet and you just have to learn to use it.
This happens to be the reason my wife doesn't like them and made me switch back to 2 handle faucets in both the bath room and kitchen.:D
I suppose some are designed differently than others, as far as ease of control goes.
