I am in need of a Low temp mixing valve for water changes any suggestions? It has to be 3/8 and have a minimum temp of 75F. Best i can find is 80-120 F see below.
Low temp mixing valve for water changes

Found this will just use 1/2 female pipe x 3/8 compressions to reduce
Assuming you have used this for a while now, are the temperatures coming out of it stable / accurate at the low range?
nope last week lost 5k in fish when the water which was set to 82 and work well for months decided to kick out water at 100. Now I will be getting 260 gallon water storage and pumping the water into there letting it settle for a day then adding temp via heater if needed. Not worth the risk.
The one I have listed I didnt go with that one doesnt even get the temp low enough. Either way i would not add directly to aquarium if it fails your fish will be dead. You have far more control when putting in storage tank first.
I have a mixing valve on my system set at 75. I love it but I am on a well and also not continuous drip. My sump overflows to the leech field and I have a spigot going to the tank. Super easy
