I can't speak to spawning mops, but based on the FAQ on their website, I take it that there is a chemical applied.
Though, they are maddeningly vague...proprietary stuff and all that.
So, whether it is or is not fish safe, I cannot say. And neither will they 😆. But, if you can find an alternative without these chemicals, that may be better.
I didnt think of checking if they had a website, thank you.

I got some of these scourer pads to make the mops dean showed how to make, iv made some then looked at the packaging again and noticed it says stop grease protection in the bottom right corner and was wanderimg if they have put somthing on them or somthing, it does not say anything on the back about any chemicals on them. Does anyone know what stop grease protection means? Iv had one in a tank for about a week with no ill effects though so i dont know.

LF1170 models can be set to any temperature between 90 degrees F and 160 degrees F with flow rates as low as 0.5 gpm and as high as 23 gpm. LFL1170-M2 models can be set at a range between 60 degrees F and 120 degrees F. Available with threaded (-UT), solder (-US), PEX Quick-Connect (-QC) or CPVC connections. Maximum Pressure: 150psi (10 bar). Lead Free* cast copper silicon alloy body construction.
this is info directly from the manufacturer.
search google for LFL1170-M2 0559110
another valve option is the honeywell sparco am-1 its range is 70-180
search google for AM100-US-1LF
im trying to help as much as I can without violating forum rules. there are lots of different sku combinations based on size of pipe and type of pipe, the valve part stays the same.
I took a break from looking for thermostatic mixing valve's. I can't find the LFL1170-M2 models that goes down to 60f in the uk, I found it on a us store and on us ebay but not uk. Im not really sure if a thermostatic mixing valve would work the way I want it to because how would I even conect it to my water change pipe any way, I kind of have an idea of how I could do it but it would be kind of Janky. I think for now I might just get a 300-400 litre water container and fill then get it to the right temperature and then do my water change.

I’m not sure, but what I’m remembering is from at least a couple of years ago. I’ll poke around .
edit: of course he did
Thank you

Did they make a video about the thermomerter or just talk about it in a tour of Dean's fish room?
-
How do you have to make the in line thermometer or does it come as unit. Iv been wondering about the thermometer for a while now and what is the blue circled thing? It looks like a pressure gauge but I'm not sure. I'm looking at making a setup like Dean's so would like to know about these things please.

They offer both
do you know where i can find the lower temperature one?

The "lo-temp" models by watts. They are 60-120 temp range.
This crazy link opens a spec sheet for the valve.
They have changed the temperatures to between 90-160f

@OrangeBulk if I'm understanding this correctly the problem is that you are actually draining your hot water heater enough that is begins refilling. Then the water temp drops because the hot water isn't fully heated? Is that the issue?
If so how large of a water change do you usually do? How large is the tank?
I didn't think of that, the biggest water change i usually do is a 300 litre one.

Good shower mixers are designed not to drift in supply temp or people would be constantly fussing with the temp and get frustrated. That said, if your temp is drifting a ton you should call the plumber that installed your boiler and figure out why.
Most thermostatic valves don’t go below 80F in product water output, so if you need less than that it’ll be a challenge to find.
80f would work but I cant find one that goes bellow 86f. the temps don't fluctuate any where else in the house just where I get the water for my tanks. I'm not sure if its because its so far from the boiler.

I don't know what kind of boilers you use but in the US most have tanks and begin corroding from day one. I use cold water, fill a barrel, and heat it with aquarium heaters to avoid whatever might be in the hot water.
We have a combi boiler. I do the same thing for my smaller fry tanks. but I would need a 300-400 litre water tank for my bigger tanks

I used a mixing valve from shower, think it was less than $50. Not thermostatic, but I used it daily and only had to tweak monthly or so as the groundwater temp changed (or cold supply water technically). That and a cheap temp gun is more than sufficient.
No way in heck would I use a thousand dollar valve to do that job personally.
I have a mixing tap but the thing is the water temperature changes after I set it after a couple of minutes.

Boiler.
We just got a new boiler so its not that

Do you have a tank water heater? Is it old?
Do you mean heater in my fish tank or boiler?

yeah I see your point but my temps go from freezing cold to boiling hot. Is the thing circled a thermostatic mixing valves and if so what temperature does it go down to?
-
I'm having problems with the water staying at the temperature I set it to when refilling tanks. We have just got a new boiler so I'm not sure what the problem is. Iv been looking for a solution for a while now and I found thermostatic mixing valves. The only thing is i cant find a good one that can go to a low enough temperature. Then I saw that Dean uses a Intellifaucet in his fish room, the only thing with that is it costs £800 with £100 shipping to the UK. They do cheaper ones but I would like the digital one.
Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?
