Mixers with a thermostat are much more expensive than conventional counterparts. It's all about the "filling", which helps maintain a constant temperature of the water. Who needs thermostatic mixers and why? Let's try to figure it out.
Features of thermostatic mixer
The thermostat is a special mechanism that the thermostatic mixer is equipped with. Its task is to maintain the water temperature set by the consumer. The error at the output can be from 1 to 5 degrees, depending on the manufacturer. The most reliable in this regard are models made in European countries.
The thermostat will keep the desired temperature, even if the pressure in the water supply system is constantly changing. With such a device you can not be afraid of scalding. It is enough to set the temperature most comfortable for the body once and enjoy the process day after day.
The system works very simply. In the mixer is a material that quickly responds to changes in temperature conditions. With too hot water, it expands, with cold water it narrows, and depending on this it decreases or increases the flow. The temperature is kept in one range.
Who needs a thermostatic mixer
There are apartments in which you can not do without installing a mixer with a thermostat. The mechanism is necessary:
- With pressure differences in the water supply system. This happens when the neighbors together turn on the taps. Sometimes it’s enough to open the faucet in the kitchen to feel the discomfort in the bathroom.
- If a storage water heater is installed. In such tanks, the water heats up to 85 degrees. If you do not adjust the temperature in time, you can get a serious burn.
- When using a flowing gas heater. Using a gas column is quite difficult to achieve constant temperatures. Pouring alternately hot and cold water will unbalance even the most balanced person.
- If at home there are small children. The thermostat will help prevent burns due to pressure drops.
Instantaneous electric water heater is not always suitable for installing a mixer with a thermostat. In each individual case, a professional consultation is needed.
If the temperature of the water flowing from the tap is constant, and there are no small children in the house, then the installation of a thermostatic mixer is not required.
