More than 5,000 children are scalded by hot water in the tub each year, according to the National
Safe Kids Campaign, prompting manufacturers to respond with several engineering breakthroughs.
One innovation from Grohe is Grohmix, a thermostatic valve for showers and tubs that allows you to
preset the temperature anywhere between 60 and 110 degrees. A safety stop set at 100 degrees pre-
vents children from accidentally scalding themselves.
