To fully enjoy the shower can prevent tiring the temperature manually. All these attempts to regulate comfortable water, pulling alternately levers, are able to get rid of anyone. Moreover, if you periodically rolls out boiling water, then the ice water.
To get rid of such a problem once and for all help the thermostat for the shower. Otherwise it is called a thermostatic mixer. Gradually, he turns from a foreign exotic to a common adaptation. It automatically maintains the once set water temperature and thus ensures comfortable hand washing and showering.
How does the bath thermostat work?
Thermostat can be controlled by means of two regulators, one of which regulates the water pressure, the other - its temperature. Most often the temperature adjustment knob is located on the right, and the pressure head is on the left.
To fix the preset water pressure, you need to press the button on the handle. As for the second indicator, bath and shower thermostats, including tropical ones, are sold with a pre-set comfort temperature for the shower. As a rule, this indicator is at the level of + 38-40ºС. But if you want to ask another, it's possible.
The thermostat during operation immediately responds to changes in the pressure of water and its temperature, adjusting the mixing ratio of cold and hot tap water. If the supply of cold water for some reason stops, the thermostat automatically stops the supply of pressure.
Thus, the shower faucet-thermostat protects you from all sorts of troubles like temperature and head drops. Even if in the process of bathing someone opens the tap in the kitchen , this does not affect your comfortable shower.
Features of mounting the thermostat for the shower
Just want to mention the fact that the thermoswitch is not powered by electricity, but directly connected to the water supply system. It is completely safe, besides it does not depend on the presence or absence of electricity
It is important not to mix cold and hot water during installation, otherwise the thermostat will not work correctly. This issue is relevant for the reason that often people buy a thermostat designed for the European water supply system, when hot water is supplied to the right, and the cold water is to the left, whereas in the post-Soviet space a mirror-like connection is often found.
You can cope with such a problem by purchasing a thermostat from Grohe or Oras, in the product line of which there are thermocouples for reverse connection.
