Steam showers are the best; especially after a long day of work. However, not every shower feels the same, some are better than others, because water temperature is never exactly the same every time. It makes sense once you think about it. Showers today have a hot water and cold water knob, and turning on one will produce only hot water or cold water. So, the trick is to turn on just enough hot water and cold water together, at the same time, to achieve the desired water temperature that is just right for you.
Unfortunately, if you like hot showers, then you know very well a person can injure themselves by turning the hot water on too much, too fast, and can get scalding burns. This is especially true with powerful water heater, it is not a good thing to happen – scalding burns, and juggling the hot water and cold water knobs, to get the right amount of hot and cold every time, becomes a science. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Although, many people have learned to turn on the cold water first, before cranking up the hot water to get the right water temperature; which is definitely safer than turning the hot water on all the way and then adding cold water to it, there is an easier way to go about it. Thankfully, there is a better way to achieve steam showers safely using a Mixermate tap. What are Mixermate taps?
A Mixermate tap is a plumbing device that smartly combines the hot and cold faucet knobs into one – a lever that operates as both faucet knobs, to regulate residential water more efficiently. And, it remembers your last lever position, the one that gave you the best steam bath. That way, all your steam baths are the same; just the way you like it. Thanks to a Mixermate tap.
Now, when you turn on your shower or bath, the water doesn’t just blast out hot scalding water unexpectedly, and you don’t have to juggle between the cold water and hot water knobs spending time getting the right temperature. Although, the best feature of this plumbing device may just be the easy-use lever-arm that controls the water flow and temperature.
It can be effortlessly adjusted with just one hand, which leaves your other hand free to stabilise yourself while entering your bathtub or shower, making Mixermate taps a ‘handy’ home safety feature.
Eco-friendly measures are becoming the standard practice of more and more folks here in Australia, and around the world; that is a good thing. Water, for example, is a precious commodity now and needs to be conserved whenever possible. Effective conservation of water starts in the home; thankfully, there are technologies available that can help folks to save water – water saving taps – Mixermate taps can help families save water and money.
Water saving taps is nothing new, just better designed than regular water taps that you can find at any hardware store. As human cities grow, so does the need for more water, and saving water; making a habit of it, before it’s too late, just makes sense. Everyone can help by installing a water saving tap in their homes, or even multiple water taps.
Mixermate taps saves water by regulating the amount of water that flows out precisely. Most water that is wasted in homes and businesses is caused by no set water pressure limit, but a water saving tap can limit the amount of water used, so that it is not wasted. For example, most folks go into the shower, turn on the cold water first and then slowly turn on the hot water to reach the desired temperature for showering. And, once showering, most folks have more water coming out of the tap than they really need.
These taps can be set to limit the amount of water flow, so that you use just the right amount of water while showering. Over days and weeks, much water can be saved, and that’s not all. The amount of water families’ use is one thing, but wasted hot water is another important resource that a water saver tap can help save. How can it save hot water?
When turning on the shower most people let the water run a bit, so the hot and cold water knobs can be manipulated separately to achieve the right water temperature, this takes time and water is wasted in the process. Water-saving mixer taps combine both the hot and cold water knobs into one lever, which can easily be manipulated with one hand, even just one finger. And, you can calibrate the Mixermate tap to a certain temperature, as well as controlling how much water flows out.
In this way, the total amount of water your family uses and the amount of hot water that is saved is considerable. A water saving tap in the kitchen, tub, shower and laundry room can save much water over the course of a year, and that also saves you the next best thing to water, money.
