Advantages and disadvantages of thermostatic faucet

So using a thermostatic faucet is not easy? What are the advantages and disadvantages?


Thermostatic faucet benefits

1. Automatic constant temperature: The thermostatic mixing valve has the function of automatic constant temperature. Once the outlet water temperature is set according to the actual requirement, the outlet water temperature can be reached quickly and automatically stabilized, independent of cold and hot water inlet pressure, temperature or outlet water flow rate. The effect, thus, solves the problem of hot and cold water temperature while bathing. When the inlet pressure, temperature or outlet flow rate of cold and hot water changes, the outlet water temperature changes within ± 2 ° C.


2, Anti-scald and anti-cold-excited: Thermostatic mixing valve with anti-scald and anti-cold function, in the bathing process, the thermostatic mixing valve can automatically turn off the hot water when cold water is suddenly interrupted. Second, from anti-scalp protection; When the hot water is suddenly interrupted, the thermostatic mixing valve can automatically shut off the cold water in a few seconds and act as a protection against cold shock.


3. High temperature resistance: The internal components of the thermostatic mixing valve are all high temperature resistant materials and they can operate at about 100 ° C.


4. One-way non-return valve: One-way non-return valve is provided in the thermostatic mixing valve so that cold water and hot water do not mix when the inlet pressure of cold and hot water is inconsistent.


5, Comes with filter: Thermostatic mixing valve comes with filter to prevent breakage in the valve body and to affect the normal operation of the mixing valve.



Disadvantages of thermostatic taps

1. Since the interior of the thermostatic hose is very accurate, the requirements for water quality are very high. If there is a lot of impurity in the water quality, the thermostatic control valve can be blocked for a long time and can affect the temperature regulation.


2, more current is domestic use wax valve, this spool reflect a relatively slow, especially brand quality can not guarantee the valve core is very easy to miss.


Consider using a thermostatic tap:

1. Users with small solid blocks in tap water are not suitable for using thermostatic taps;


2. The presence of powder deposits or soft foreign material in the tap water may reduce the sensitivity of the thermostatic valve core and may also shorten the service life of the thermostatic water tap;


3. Try to reduce the distance between the water heater and the faucet so that hot water can reach the faucet as quickly as possible;


4, the normal use of water pressure is 0.05Mpa-0.6Mpa;


5, hot and cold water supply pipe can not be installed incorrectly, hot water pipe must be on the left, cold water pipe must be on the right;


6. Be sure to clean the installation site before installing the thermostatic faucet so as not to damage the apron, threads, thermostatic valve core and other parts of the faucet.


7. Please follow the instruction manual for installation, pay special attention to ensure that no gasket or apron leaks, gets lost or damaged;


8, thermostatic tap does not have automatic heating function, please adjust the water temperature of the water heater to 60 C -85 C;


9, shower and shower pipes can not withstand temperatures above 60 C;


10. After each use, be sure to adjust the water temperature adjustment knob below 40 ° C.
