What are the differences between a constant temperature shower and an ordinary shower?

1. Constant temperature effect. I believe everyone has seen these two products in daily life, but many people are not very clear about the difference between them. In terms of constant temperature effect, when the water pressure and water temperature of the water supply change, the constant temperature faucet will automatically adjust the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water in a very short time (1 second) to stabilize the water outlet temperature at the preset temperature.

2. Safety protection. When using, many users often inadvertently turn the handle to the left or right, which causes unsafe factors to a certain extent. The thermostatic faucet has a unique design in this regard. A safety protection button is provided on the adjustment handwheel to avoid the possibility of unsafe factors.

3. Anti-scaling coating. As we all know, when the water quality is poor, the calcium ion content is very high, which makes it very easy to scale inside, resulting in difficulty in turning the handle after long-term use, reduced water output, etc. The thermostatic faucet uses a thermostatic valve core imported from France. The valve core uses special materials, so scale will not form on the surface of our valve core, and even long-term use will not affect product performance.

What should you pay attention to when installing a shower

1. Installation height. Basically, the hot and cold water outlets are at a height of 1 meter, but this is not absolute and can be adjusted according to the height of the user. Most people choose a shower head with a top shower, so when installing it, you need to calculate how much space is left from the ceiling, and also consider the height of the pole when choosing.

2. The hole distance of hot and cold water. The hole distance of the shower head currently on sale is about 15 cm, and there are two S joints installed inside. This joint is set up to adjust the distance, so it is best not to have errors during installation, at least the error must be controlled within 1 cm.

3. The hot and cold water are at the same height. The pipe must be at a 90-degree angle to the wall and cannot be tilted. The inner interface in the wall should be about 2 mm lower than the tile. In this way, after the shower is installed, the decorative cover will fit the wall better and the overall appearance will be very good.

4. Cleaning before safety. There are basically a lot of impurities in the pipes in the rough house. Some pipes may have a lot of fine sand left. If you connect the shower head to the pipe without cleaning it, it is likely to clog the shower head, and the water effect will be poor when it is used. It is recommended to unscrew the shower head first, let the water run for a while, let the impurities be flushed out, and then reconnect the shower head.

How to choose a shower hose

1. Look at the surface: The appearance of the hose looks roughly similar, but there are actually some differences. High-quality hoses are mostly made of stainless steel, with a smooth surface and evenly distributed gaps. Stainless steel can not only protect the inner tube, but also have a good explosion-proof effect.

2. Check the hose material: When using a shower head, both hot and cold water need to pass through the hose to the shower head. When purchasing, pay attention to the stability and heat and cold resistance of the hose. Generally speaking, high-quality hoses are mostly made of EPDM rubber, which has good heat resistance, strong anti-aging properties, and is not prone to expansion.

3. Look at flexibility: During use, since the hose needs to be pulled frequently, it also has requirements for flexibility. EPDM rubber is a good choice. It has good flexibility and is not easy to deform even if it is pulled frequently.

4. Check the sealing: To avoid water leakage from the hose, it is best to choose a full-copper hose interface during installation. The full-copper interface is not only sturdy and durable, but also has a good leak-proof effect.
