Washbasin tap with a thermostat or without? Definitely a tough decision, although... Just count the time spent in the shower waiting for the desired temperature of the emitted stream. Or imagine seeing coins escaping from your wallet along with hectolitres of spilled water. And if we add the ecological aspect, along with the sense of comfort and safety, the answer comes to itself: "Yes, to taps with a thermostat!"
Why is it worth choosing thermostatic taps?
To answer this question, it is first necessary to explain how thermostatic taps work. A thermostat is a device that mixes hot and cold water within a few seconds to achieve the desired temperature. This happens automatically, without the involvement of the person taking the bath. You just need to set certain parameters, and the head remembers them and does not change them, even if there is a drop in cold water pressure. Now, neither turning on the tap nor flushing the toilet will surprise you with a sudden jump in temperature. And even if you stop the water in the shower because you love washing your hair for a long time, upon turning the shower back on, you return to the previously selected temperature in a split second. The correction happens only when we change the knob position ourselves. The water temperature in thermostatic taps can be set between 15 to 60°C, with an accuracy of 1°C, but the optimal range is from 38°C to 42°C. Most models of this kind available on the market have a safety feature against accidental water temperature increase.
What benefits does installing a thermoregulated tap bring?
Anyone who invests in a bathroom tap with a thermostat will quickly realise they have made the right decision. It is somewhat more expensive than a traditional one, but the comfort of its use compensates for the costs incurred. This is just one of the many advantages of installing this type of tap. Here are some of the others:
- constant water temperature, regardless of pressure fluctuations,
- instant return to the selected temperature after each interruption of water flow,
- special Cool Touch technology protecting the chrome finish of the tap from
- dangerous overheating,
- perfectly shaped knobs that can be easily maneuvered
- Eko button reducing water flow (savings of up to 40%),
- varied design allowing for taps to match any style and interior arrangement.
Bathtub tap with a thermostat - a guarantee of comfort and savings
Bathtub taps equipped with a thermoregulator are a practical and stylish addition to any bathroom interior, just like washbasin and shower taps. Thanks to them, there is the possibility of setting the optimal water temperature without the need for tedious knob manipulation. Just set the regulator to the value that suits you. Devices of this type guarantee the highest level of relaxation during a bath and make us save time that we would have to spend regulating the water temperature. Thanks to constant temperature, we also save water because we fill the bathtub with only as much as we really need. All bathroom taps can also be equipped with a thermostat. Such a purchase is particularly recommended for devices used by children. You can then be sure that the stream of water will have a constant, safe temperature. Most models have a lock at 38°C, which protects kids from scalding with hot water.
