Moen figured out a good enough solution without wax called moentrol

Push/pull adjusts volume, rotation adjusts hot/cold mix

It doesn't maintain temperature at all; it maintains the hot/cold mix.

The problem is that the hot temp varies widely (and the cold temp varies slightly as you drain the house tubing reservoir and begin drawing ground-temp water).
