The shower faucet adjusts the hot and cold water through a hot and cold mixing valve. We usually call this mixing valve a shower faucet. The old-fashioned shower faucet has two handles to control the size of cold water and hot water to adjust the water temperature. , Now the shower faucet only needs one handle to adjust the water temperature, because now only one spool is needed to adjust the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water. The principle of the thermostatic faucet is on the spool, and the spool of the thermostatic faucet has a temperature sensing element, which is generally made of paraffin or nickel-titanium alloy. The temperature sensing element will change its shape according to the change of temperature. For example, the temperature sensing element made of paraffin will expand or shrink with the temperature. When the water temperature changes, the volume of paraffin will change, and then through a certain Some control shafts are used to adjust the spool, and the spool adjusts the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water, so that the water temperature can be adjusted and kept at a certain temperature to achieve the effect of constant temperature water outlet.

The shower head is a product with high frequency of daily use in the bathroom, and a good shower head is also a kind of enjoyment for the users, which can bring people a refreshing dripping and a pleasant mood! With the improvement of living standards, more and more people will choose high-end showers, and now the constant temperature showers are popular, and many people choose constant temperature showers when decorating.

What is the definition of thermostatic shower head?

As the name suggests, it refers to the shower head that can automatically and constantly control the temperature of the water outlet. The core of its working principle - a highly sensitive thermal element, automatically adjusts the mixing ratio of cold and hot water through the physical principle of thermal expansion and contraction, so that the outlet water temperature is stable.

Thermostatic shower features

Efficient: One-key constant temperature, very convenient to operate. Once the temperature is set, there is no need to repeat the action, reducing the traditional repeated operation of the hot and cold water mixing handle. Both improve efficiency and save time.

Intelligent constant temperature: The temperature of the water outlet is automatically controlled through the thermal sensor, the response time is extremely short, and the temperature is stable, avoiding the traditional hot and cold, making the shower smoother.

Safe and reliable: The constant temperature shower is equipped with a high temperature warning button, which can be operated only after the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees, which can effectively prevent the elderly and children from instant high temperature burns caused by accidental touch!

Insufficiency of constant temperature shower and high cooling

① Expensive: A high-quality constant temperature product, due to the complicated process and high cost, the price is generally higher than that of traditional showers.

② Requirements for water quality: If the water quality is not good and there are too many scale impurities, the heat-sensitive element inside will be easily damaged and the valve core will be blocked after a long time, so it must be checked and cleaned regularly.

③It is not suitable for the environment where the pressure of the water inlet is too low: if the solar energy or a certain pipe of hot and cold water is cut off, the thermostatic valve core will automatically cut off the protection and stop the water outlet.

Other hot issues of constant temperature shower

Do not connect the hot and cold water in the wrong direction! The standard pre-embedded PPR head must be hot on the left and cool on the right. Wrong connection will cause the spool to stop water flow.

Generally, the municipal tap water environment at home is suitable. But if the water quality is too poor, it may not work, such as rural areas with too much scale, or self-connected unfiltered water sources! Regularly check the water flow rate to ensure that the water inlet filter and valve core filter are not blocked by scale and debris.
