Thermostatic shower mixers

A thermostatic shower is definitely worth it for many people, especially if safety, comfort and ease of use are important. These types of showers keep the water at a steady temperature, even when other appliances are in use, which prevents unexpected hot and cold surges. The built-in safety features prevent scalding by automatically adjusting water flow if there’s a sudden change in temperature, making them an ideal solution for families with children, older adults and individuals with cognitive disabilities. Once set to your preferred temperature, they stay consistent every time, offering an energy-efficient solution.

A mixer in a shower is a device that blends hot and cold water to deliver a desired water temperature through the showerhead. It allows users to control the water pressure and temperature with ease. There are two main types of shower mixers: manual mixers and thermostatic mixers.

The main difference between a shower mixer and a thermostatic shower mixer is how they control water temperature and respond to changes in the water supply. Manual mixers blend hot and cold water from your plumbing system, but require the hot and cold taps to be adjusted separately to achieve the desired temperature. The water temperature may vary depending on your home’s water pressure and if other taps are being used elsewhere. However, thermostatic mixers maintain a consistent water temperature by automatically adjusting the mix of hot and cold water and are not affected by your home’s water pressure.
