water tap

0Hi there,02br
02br
00 I want to tell my guests how to use a non constant temperature so that they won't hurt themselves when they have a shower. The instructions can be informal. 02br
02br
00Can you take a look at the following instructions?02br
02br
00Since it is a not a constant temperature water heater, first turn off the heater. Then, turn on the hot-water tap all the way through to the hottest temperature and then turn on the cold-water tap to adjust the water temperature. If you find the water turns cold, turn off all the taps first. Then turn on the hot-water tap again and wait the water heated. 02br

(But of course, don't they have to step out of the shower if they have to turn on only the hot again?

01b01font00I think the instructions are clear. At my place, I would add also that guests are to spend no more two minutes in the shower. 05002font02b010id5
