The problem with switching out the Girard with a standard is there is no place to put the tank!
I am not a big fan either but after we learned it a little, it is ok. We set it on 111 and turn the hot on all the way. Then add cold as necessary. You do have to adjust that a bit for temperature of incoming water. The one thing I hate about it is the fact you can't turn the shower head off and then back on without getting a cold shot. Really decreases your ability to save shower water.
