What type of anti-scald valve should I get? A thermostatic mixing valve or a pressure-balance valve?
It depends on your preference and budget. Below are some pros and cons of each valve: Thermostatic mixing valve Pros: A maximum output temperature is set on the valve, so if you want your hot shower to be exactly 100 degrees every time, it has that temperature memory and will not go any higher than 100 degrees. Water conservation is easy because you can change the flow volume without affecting the temperature. This also means there is increase energy-efficiency. Your water heater can be set to 140 degrees, but you can still have absolute control over your shower. Cons: They are more expensive and can only protect one fixture Pressure-balance valve: Pros: They can have a lower initial cost, they provide scald protection, and they provide moderate comfort. Cons: They have no temperature memory, you have to fiddle with knobs to achieve your desired temperature, and they have no additional scald protection.

Is the Repair Cost Cheaper Than the Total Replacement?
Whether the repair cost is cheaper than the total replacement cost will depend on several factors, including the age and condition of the appliance, the extent of the damage, and the cost of replacement parts. In some cases, a repair may be a cheaper and more practical option than replacing the appliance. For example, suppose a single component of an appliance is malfunctioning and can be easily replaced. In that case, it may be more cost-effective to repair it than replace the entire unit. However, if the appliance is old, in poor condition, and requires multiple repairs, replacing it may be more cost-effective. Additionally, suppose the repair cost is a significant percentage of the cost of a new appliance. In that case, it may make more sense to invest in a new appliance rather than spend money on repairs. Ultimately, whether to repair or replace an appliance will depend on the specific circumstances of each case, so it's wise to seek advice from a professional technician before making a decision.
