Warm water rises. In my house, I have a shower with a circular mixing valve. Navy showers work fine there. I just shut off the water, then turn the dial back to where it was. The water temp was fine. But I have another shower with a flow volume regulator near the shower head. When I tried using that flow regulator to shut the water off I got scalded when turning it back on. It seems the two separate mixing valves, one for cold and one for hot, were still open and the water mixing. So when I turned the flow valve back on, I got scalded because the hotter water displaced the colder. But using the flow valve to shut off the water is still easier than using the 2 separate valves to turn the water back on, I just make sure I'm out of the way for the first 2 seconds after turning the valve back on.

It's a lot more work than just turning off the water while you soap up, but it seems like it'd be cool to use. Wow, that is definitely an in-depth thing to try with a shower.
