Controlling shower hot water
Hi, we have a 2021 Imagine 2610ML. When using the shower, I regulate the water heat to where it’s comfortable, I then stop the flow particularly if not hooked up to site water. When I turn the flow back on by the button on the spray head, I have to be very careful not to be in the direction of flow or I could really burn myself. It takes a few moments of flow to get back to the comfortable water temperature. Any thoughts on how to avoid this? Thanks. Don

There are two ways, 1)install a backflow preventer to keep the hot water from going into the cold water side, or 2) the easier way is to get a shower head that isn't all or nothing. My OEM shower head is rotated to stop water flow. When I rotate it I leave a trickle still flowing. I'd you get a nicer shower head like an Oxygenics they are designed to have a trickle when water flow is turned off at the shower head.
The hot water blast occurs because when you turn off the flow at the shower head the hot water is migrating into the cold water side. When you restore water flow it is all hot water.Mike & Lisa

Agree with @OurNewEra. A trickle shower head is best. You can always feel the temp of the water before opening the valve if you second guess the water temp.
Oxygenics make very nice shower heads and they do save on water usuage.2020 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS 5th Wheel

Thanks for your help 👍 I tried it this morning, leaving a trickle, and that did it. I’ll order an Oxygenics head. This is our last trip for the season so I’ll have it in place for next year. Where we’re camping, the snow level is creeping down the mountains around us. We leave for home tomorrow and I hope the snow stays on the mountains and not the road.
