Have you ever had such a shower experience: take off your clothes and go into the bathroom and turn on the shower. You originally intended to enjoy a relaxing shower, but the water temperature will be cold and hot for a while, so you have to adjust the water temperature frequently. If it is in the summer, it is basically tolerable, but in the winter, this experience has to be said to be a "disaster".

You don't need to be too upset, all of this is caused by water pressure. Simply put, when you are using the shower, someone else at home turns on the faucet at the same time. Because it is the same outlet pipe, part of the water will naturally be diverted; or the water pressure in the area where you live is unstable; of course, it is also It is likely that the shower head is aging. But no matter what the reason, the convenient solution is undoubtedly to replace a thermostatic shower.

There is a heat-sensitive element inside the hot and cold water mixing outlet of the thermostatic shower. This element is generally made of paraffin or nickel-titanium alloy. The element will change its shape according to temperature changes, such as the temperature made of paraffin. The sensing element will expand or shrink with the temperature. When the water temperature changes, the volume of the paraffin will change. Then some control shafts are used to adjust the spool, and the spool adjusts the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water. In this way, the water temperature can be adjusted and kept at a certain temperature to achieve the effect of constant temperature water discharge.

There is a knob on the left and right sides of the thermostatic shower to adjust the temperature of the water and the way of water outlet respectively. When you press the left knob to adjust the water temperature, you can try twisting it back and forth to adjust the appropriate temperature. I think this design is very good, avoiding the possibility of high temperature burns. The other button on the right can adjust the way and the amount of water, which is convenient and economical.

So, how comfortable is the constant temperature?

A clinical trial conducted by European dermatologists indicated that the “standard water temperature” of 38°C is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, and this temperature is very close to the human body temperature, which is not easy to cause skin irritation, and it is easier to clean skin dirt. Therefore, the temperature of the constant temperature shower water is constant at 38 degrees and comfortable.

In addition, the editor has two tips for everyone:

1. The temperature of bathing water should be close to the body temperature of human body. The temperature of bathing water in summer should be kept at 34～36℃. After bathing, when the water evaporates, the heat will be effectively dissipated and increase the blood return;

2. The water temperature for bathing in winter should not be too high. It is better to maintain it at 37℃~40℃. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels of the whole body will expand, the blood flow of the heart and brain will decrease, and hypoxia will occur.

Next, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of constant temperature showers:

advantage:

1. Security

The thermostatic shower can maintain a stable temperature during use, and its temperature change is set within 2 degrees, so there is no need to worry about hot and cold, so it is safer and more assured to use.

2. Comfort

When showering, you can set the water temperature at your own suitable temperature, so that the shower is very comfortable, and there is no need to worry about the water temperature being too hot or too cold.

3. Durability

Because the structure of the thermostatic shower is sealed with embedded ceramics, it can be used at high temperatures above 90 degrees, and it is safe and reliable. There is no cold water flow limiting device, so it will not be affected by the pressure difference of the water supply. As long as the water temperature is set well, there is no need to repeatedly adjust the water temperature in the future, and the constant temperature shower is more durable.

4. Energy saving

When using the constant temperature shower, do not frequently adjust the water temperature after the water temperature is set, so as to save the waste of water in the process of adjusting the water temperature, so the use of the constant temperature shower is very energy-saving and water-saving.

5. Environmental protection

If you purchase a high-quality thermostatic shower, the interior is designed with lead-free materials, so it is safer and more environmentally friendly when using the thermostatic shower.

shortcoming:

1. The price of thermostatic showers is generally higher than that of ordinary showers.

2. When the difference between the hot and cold water pressure is too large or the household water pressure is too small, it will stop watering.

3. If the quality of the tap water is poor, long-term use will affect the heat-sensitive elements of the thermostatic shower.

Many friends who have installed thermostatic showers will report that the thermostatic showers sometimes become hot and cold. This can not help but make the editor feel tight. After multiple verifications, I finally found the reason and listened to the editor. !

There are many reasons for this phenomenon:

1. Too little water consumption for hot water　　

It mainly occurs in users who use gas-fired water heaters, and it mostly occurs in summer. Due to the relatively small amount of hot water in summer, the water heater is easily satisfied, and the ignition will be stopped when satisfied. When the hot water is insufficient, fire again. Such repeated ignition, flameout, and ignition will result in the presence, absence, or presence of hot water supply, which will cause the water to be hot and cold.

Solution: Adjust the gas water heater to a large flow rate, and the fire can be high.

2. The outlet temperature of electric hot water with constant temperature shower is too low

The main reason for this situation is that the electric water heater is generally set at a temperature of about 50°C when it leaves the factory, so the temperature of the hot water passing through the constant temperature shower is low.

Solution: reset the hot water temperature of the electric water heater to around 60°C.

3. Insufficient power:

The power of the matching water heater is insufficient, and the required heat cannot be met.

Solution: Replace the high-power water heater

Garbage clogged The filter is clogged with garbage, causing the water pressure to drop.

Solution: Clear the filter screen at the angle valve.

Solve the misunderstanding of use, and send the maintenance skills of the constant temperature shower:

1. Invite experienced professionals to carry out construction and installation. When installing, the shower should try not to hit hard objects, and do not leave cement, glue, etc. on the surface, so as not to damage the gloss of the surface coating. Pay special attention to the installation after removing the debris in the pipeline, otherwise it will cause the shower to be blocked by the pipeline debris, which will affect the use.

2. When the water pressure is not lower than 0.02mPa (ie 0.2kgg/cubic centimeter), after a period of use, if the water output is found to decrease, or even the water heater is turned off, it can be placed at the water outlet of the shower. Gently unscrew the screen cover to remove impurities, and it will generally recover as before, but remember not to forcibly disassemble the shower head. Due to the complicated internal structure of the shower head, non-professional personnel cannot repair the shower head without special tools.

3. When switching the shower faucet and adjusting the sprinkler's water outlet mode, don't use too much force, just turn it gently. Even the traditional faucet does not need to spend a lot of effort. Be careful not to use the faucet handle or shower bracket as a handrail to support or use.ddddddddd
