Because someone installed a really cheap one
A thermostat is the temperature controlling device
To change a shower head, first, unscrew the old shower head using a wrench. Then, clean the shower arm threads and wrap them with plumber's tape. Finally, screw on the new shower head and tighten it securely.
Mildew in the shower is a biological change, not a chemical or physical change. It is the result of mold or fungus growth due to moisture and organic matter in the environment.
Because it effects the water pressure of the shower. This causes the temperature of the water in the shower to also change.
One of the easiest and least expensive fixes for this problem is to adjust the flow of water into the toilet. If the toilet fills more slowly, it will not alter the water pressure enough to change the temperature of the shower. Another possible solution, which would require the purchase of a special valve and possibly installation by a plumber, is to install a thermostat-controlled water valve in the shower to keep the water flow at a constant temperature.
Take a shower and change clothes.
To change your shower head, first turn off the water supply. Then, unscrew the old shower head using a wrench or pliers. Clean the pipe threads and wrap them with plumber's tape. Finally, screw on the new shower head and turn the water supply back on.
Thermostat is located on the engine end of the lower (yes, I said lower) radiator hose. The housing is plastic, so work carefully. It would be a good idea to use a genuine Subaru thermostat and rubber O-ring gasket, as this will give the correct temperature. I am surprised your thermostat went bad-- usually the factory Subie thermostats last 10-15 years. To replace thermostat, drain radiator, then remove lower hose at engine end (first green shower), remove the bolts securing the lower hose connector to the engine and remove the connector (second green shower), then pull the thermostat and rubber ring out with pliers (third green shower). Installation is reverse of removal, and there is no gasket on the thermostat cover to speak of-- the O- ring around the thermostat does all the sealing. Remember to refill radiator with care, and use the air "burp" screw mounted on the radiator top, opposite the fill pipe.
You can change the seals on your shower to ensure that you don't have a leak. You can also make sure that your fixtures are firmly attached to the shower head.
