The Benefits/Advantages of Thermostatic Shower Faucets

One of the major benefits of thermostatic shower faucets is their ability to control water temperature. Manually setting water temperatures with knobs, isn’t difficult, but it can be dangerous for children and elderly people who may accidentally scald themselves or experience thermal shock, when the tap water temperature exceeds 38°(115F).

Thermostatic Taps Save More Water

While thermostatic showers and faucets are more expensive than traditional mixer taps, they tend to use less water in the long run and last longer than their counterparts, making them a worthwhile investment.

They also require less maintenance because their ceramic discs are much more hard-wearing than the parts in dual lever taps for example.

Easy to Install

Thermostatic showers and faucets are very easy to install, as they can be fitted right over existing plumbing without any drilling or altering of the bathroom. All you need to do is tee into the nearest water supply, usually underneath the floor or in the wall, and then run the piping toward your shower.

Water Temperature Predictions and Auto shutoff

The ability to preset a water temperature ahead of time, with a thermostatic shower valve, makes it easier to maintain consistent flow and water temperatures throughout the day. This helps to avoid any unexpected fluctuations in the water temperature or the flow of hot and cold water, resulting in greater savings on your utility bill.

Thermostatic faucets are also safer to use for homes with small children or the elderly because they don’t have to worry about scalding, as they only need to turn one knob to adjust to the desired temperature. Moreover, these faucets come with a Safe Touch system which automatically shuts off the water supply if it senses an insufficient amount of hot or cold water to prevent burns to skin or eyes.
