When it comes to taking a bath, we have taken a bath in a wooden barrel at the beginning, and now take a shower with various bathtubs. As for the shower, it started out as an ordinary one, and then it has been upgraded and evolved, and then the thermostatic shower appeared. On the surface, the two seem to be no different, but in reality they are very different.
The advantage of ordinary
shower head is that the price is cheap and the quality is quite good. However, the water temperature is easily affected by the water pressure. When the water pressure of the tap water becomes smaller during the peak water consumption period, the water will become hotter, so it does not bring a comfortable feeling of use. But for households who are not bothered by water pressure, ordinary shower heads are a good choice.
As the name suggests, the thermostatic shower is able to control the temperature of the water when bathing, and maintain a stable water temperature state, so that you will not have the phenomenon of hot and cold when you are bathing. The thermostatic shower is safer than the elderly and children, and at the same time can effectively prevent colds.
In the families we come into contact with every day, more people use simple showers or ordinary overall shower sets. Maybe in everyone's perception, there is no clear concept of thermostatic showers. Today, let's talk about the difference between a normal shower and a thermostatic shower. Is it really worth buying?
First of all, let's take a look at the material: the shower head is made of various materials, including stainless steel, copper, aluminum and plastic. Ordinary showers do not have much functionality, so they may be more casual in material selection. Most of them are made of aluminum alloy. The advantage of this material is that it is not afraid of wear, light and durable, but it will turn black after a long time. Not pretty.
Because the constant temperature shower needs to take into account the constant temperature, most of them will be made of copper, especially the faucet will be made of all copper. The copper shower is not easy to rust, and it is more beautiful after processing. At the same time, it will be electroplated on the surface of the shower, so that even if it is used for a long time, it can be as clean as new.
The second is the valve core: the valve core is as important to the shower as the heart is to the human being. The valve core of the ordinary shower head can basically only have one function, which is to adjust the heat and cold. However, this balance of cold and heat is not so well adjusted. It is often either too hot or too cold. It is difficult to adjust it to an appropriate level. After a few minutes of washing, the water temperature becomes hot and cold again.
The valve core of the thermostatic shower is different. It is designed with the function of automatically adjusting the ratio of cold and hot water at the valve core, so that the user only needs to design the temperature to enjoy suitable hot water, and there is no need to bother to adjust it. go.
The higher-end showers will also be treated with a multi-layer crystal diamond electroplating net lead process at the faucet, which can filter the water quality in multiple layers. In this way, it can not only better care for human skin, but also avoid sticking due to problems such as excellent water quality and scale, and reduce the probability of future maintenance.
Then there is the safety issue: many people feel puzzled when they see the safety issue. It is just taking a bath. Is it possible that there will be danger? In fact, it is not dangerous, but it is necessary for us to look at the comparison of the safety performance of the two.
Ordinary showers have no anti-scalding function. Even if the water temperature is overheated, the water will still flow out. At the same time, there will be a high temperature phenomenon at the faucet. It's okay for adults to have this in the shower, they can react as quickly as they can by turning the water off. But if it is a child, it is easy to be scalded by hot water, and the consequences are disastrous.
The thermostatic shower takes this into consideration. As long as the temperature exceeds the set limit, it will automatically cut off the water, thereby reducing the chance of scalding. Moreover, the inner wall of the faucet is also anti-scalding treatment, even if you accidentally touch the faucet, you are not afraid of being scalded, which improves the safety of the shower.
Saving: Many ordinary showers claim that they can save more water when they advertise. But in use, ordinary showers often need a lot of water to adjust the temperature. This goes back and forth, and the water saved is wasted again.
There is no need to worry about this situation with a constant temperature shower. The one-button constant temperature setting does not need to waste time and water volume, which not only improves the efficiency of bathing, but also saves water costs.
