Thermostatic shower mixer: Why you need one for your daily shower

Thursday, August 9, 2018

Everyone looks forward to taking a shower in the morning. It is an experience that awakens your senses and leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Some take a shower in the evenings as well, as it’s a place where you let all your worries melt away after a hard day's work. Reaching that perfect symphony of warmth and chillness is unbeatable. However, all of us have experienced the problem of the water being too hot while showering. This problem is one of the main reasons why a thermostatic shower mixer is important for every household. 

If you have a conventional shower in your bathroom chances are, you generally stand outside the shower and keep checking the temperature with your hand, till the water is optimum enough to avoid scalding. You also avoid stepping in when the water is cold during winter, resulting in a lot of wastage in water. While this may seem like a trivial problem, studies show that 30 gallons of water are wasted every day by an average person. A thermostatic shower mixer helps you avoid water wastage, therefore, protecting the environment as well. 

In conventional showers, there are risks of sudden temperature fluctuations in bathrooms without thermostatic shower mixers. There are many instances when someone accidentally turns on the hot water knob of the shower that leads to scalding, especially in new places like hotels or a friend’s house. While these incidents are dangerous, actually scalding, tripping, slipping, can all happen when you’re caught off-guard when the water temperature spikes. Yet, very few know of a simple anti-scalding device that can stop it from happening – a hot and cold water mixer or a thermostatic shower mixer.

Keep Your Skin Safe with a Thermostatic Shower Mixer:

The ideal shower in your personal healing station comes equipped with an anti-scalding valve, such as the thermostatic valve or hot and cold water. They ensure that you get a safe, uniform and comfortable showering experience with no boiling water burns in high water pressure. A thermostatic valve is beneficial both during summer and winter as it helps you set the optimal temperature. You get a constant temperature of 38-degree centigrade. It ensures the water temperature remains constant for the duration of your shower even if there is a sudden pressure drop. They work on low water pressure and come with a child lock that prevents children from increasing temperature even by mistake. Children and the elderly at home can benefit a lot from having the max temperature set in showers to avoid any accidents.

 

What is a thermostatic water mixer and how does it work?

As mentioned earlier, a hot and cold water mixer is known as a thermostatic valve. There is setup within the mixing valve that responds to the fluctuation in the water temperature and pressure by contracting and expanding. If there is an increase in flow of hot water, the setup within the mixing valve will expand allowing a side valve to open, which will then let some cold water through to compensate for the change in heat. The same process will happen if the water temperatures are the other way around. If for some reason the cold water fails altogether, the mixing valve will expand fully to block the hot water completely – preventing scalding.

 

Why Thermostatic shower mixers?

Purchasing a bath shower with a thermostatic valve is a safe, convenient and economical way to improve your showering experience.

Safety – A shower that is equipped with a hot and cold water mixer to control temperature means that there is no risk of scalding or boiling water burn from a sudden increase in temperature and no surprising shocks should the temperature plummet. If the water temperature goes above or lower than your desired pre-selected water temperature, then the water flow will automatically shut off. It is especially useful for households with the elderly and children. 

Convenience – A thermostatically controlled valve means that if you’re in the shower and should you wish to stop the water to shampoo your hair, you don’t have to leave the shower running for it to be at the same temperature. Switch it off to save water, and then simply restart the shower at the same temperature. 

Economy – Using a thermostatic shower mixer helps you avoid wastage of water. You need not let the water run before adjusting the temperature. Similarly, you need not keep the shower on when you are washing in the fear that once it is shut the same temperature won’t be reached again. 

To conclude, every household must invest in a thermostatic shower mixer. It helps family members especially young and elderly ones enjoy their showers with accidental burning. They are small investments that result in big upgrades owing to their functionality. Showers are one of the most relaxing parts of the day, and with a thermostatic valve, you can enjoy a comfortable, leisure and perfect bath every day.
