With a type 3 I may start with the hot tap (particularly in cold weather) but it may heat up too quickly for me so then I have to turn on the cold tap and "juggle" my hands between the two to avoid scalding myself. Either that or run a bowl of water of the preferred temperature. Personally speaking I prefer the type 1 tap, both because I think it uses less water and also because it's quicker and easier to set the desired temperature. Type 2 is useful in the kitchen; type 3 I find a bit of an anachronism. | |

I prefer Type 3 because I like to be able to draw cold water instantly, rather than having to wait for the flow to cool down and I see no advantage in types 1 and 2 to outweigh that advantage. I have stayed in houses with all three options and I have a much happier time with the 3rd type - I recently organised that our kitchen would have that type rather than any alternative. It seems to me that the supposed advantages of type 1 are purely psychological. | |
