The thermostatic bath mixer tap features a thermostatic valve that revolutionizes the way we shower or bathe.
It would help if you let your worries go in the shower and not worry about the temperature of the water.
The thermostatic bath shower valve gives you complete control over the water temperature throughout your shower. The water temperature will not change if a tap is turned off, a toilet is flushed, or another device that uses water (dishwasher or washing machine) is turned on.
A bath shower mixer tap with a thermostatic valve can be a cost-effective, safe and convenient way to enhance your showering experience.
SAFE - The shower has a thermostatic valve that controls the temperature of the bath and shower, so there's no chance of anyone getting scalded. The water flow will stop automatically if the water temperature exceeds +/- 2°C.
CONVENIENT - A thermostatically controlled valve allows you to keep the temperature the same whether the phone rings or the stove is on. It can be turned off to conserve water and then switched back on when you return.
ECONOMICAL - The thermostatic tap is economical and will pay off quickly. Pre-selected temperatures reduce the time and water needed to determine the temperature. Remember when the toilet would flush, and you'd need to stand awkwardly away from the cold downpour or boiling downpour. Keep your finger or toes under the water until the temperature returns to your desired heat. You will never waste another drop of water.
What does a thermostatic shower mixer valve do?
The mixing valve has an element that reacts to water temperature and pressure changes.
A rise in hot water will cause the element in the mixing valve to expand. This will allow a side valve opening to let cold water through, compensating for the heat loss.
If the water temperature is the opposite, the same process will occur.
The mixing valve expands fully to stop hot water from reaching the boiling point.
