Seems like almost all new kitchen sink faucets are the single handle valve type these days, and I love 'em. But I'm curious to how people actually use them. If I want cold water, I will move the lever back and bias it to the right so as not to get any hot water mixed in. Some of these new levers seem like they could easily be just pushed back right down the middle and get a mix that you would not normally even notice, as the hot takes time to get there. My theory here is that there are a good percentage of people (blonde wives perhaps, but certainly not the olly ones) that when they go for a glass of water they are actually getting some cold and old hot water without even knowing what they are doing. I think I've been guilty of this myself on occasions. The reason I am bring this up is that now with on demand tankless hot water heaters (propane in my case) it would be foolish to have the heater kick in for these situations of using hot by accident. I really think this is a concern, and I am leaning towards getting a double handled kitchen sink so as to eliminate this possibility. Wadda ya think?
