"I was wondering if you have any advice for a rather unusual problem. I work for East Sussex County Council working with people who have sight loss. One lady I am working with is accidentally knocking the dial when she is in the shower and it is hurting her fragile skin. Her husband sets the shower before she goes in, but she can not reset it once it has been knocked. I don’t want to have it fixed at one temperature as her husband uses the shower and prefers a higher temperature. Is there anything you can think of that would help?
A picture of the shower dial is below. "

I initially thought maybe you could stick one of these over the dial if it happened to be the right size

I know Mira did a user preset model with buttons one to four

Press one for one person temp two another etc

And I think you couldn't adjust the temp via the dial then
 
What about two little 3M sticky pads one of dail and one on her temperature and she can feel them?

I use to have on. Is it the Advance?
Although maybe discontinued, it was years ago. Family of Four had their own number and presets

The current Advance does not have buttons.
OP: Is the clients husband able to use an app on a smart phone? The Mira Mode has 10 presets accessed by a smart phone. I don't do plumbing these days but found it on the Net. You can download instructions to see if it is suitable

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
