Thermostatic Mixers: Their Impact on Laundry in Your Home

 

We should probably start our conversation by discussing what exactly a thermostatic mixer actually is. The odds are good that you have a general idea of the product, but we’ll briefly go into more detail before discussing the benefits that they can impart on your laundry habits.

1) A Brief Description of Thermostatic Mixers

A thermostatic mixer valve essentially helps to control the water temperature in your home by quickly and effectively pre-mixing the water to your specifications. Thermostatic mixers will take hot and cold water and mix it together in order to have the correct temperature ready at the press of a button. Thermostatic mixers also help to control water temperature in order to prevent it from becoming too hot or too cold.

2) What Can A Thermostatic Mixer Do For Your Laundry? 

Alright, now we are focused on the key to today’s discussion. Thermostatic mixers are effective for a number of different reasons that are outside of the scope of our description up above. Thermostatic mixers work to quickly and effectively help you dial in the water temperature in your home. With your temperature dialed in, there is less time spent adjusting nozzles and hoping to get the temperature that is just right. While you don’t toggle levers with your laundry, there is still a period of time where the water has to be heated or cooled to your specifications. Let’s lay out these benefits a little simpler now that we have a rounded understanding.

A) Temperature Control – Controlling the temperature of your water means less time spent heating/cooling which saves you time, as well.

B) Saving Water – As your water is preheated or cooled to your exact needs, you won’t be spending extra water during the adjustment phase.

C) Lower Utility Bills – By saving water and reducing utility stress, your utility bills will also be reduced.

There is no better time than now to improve your showering experience. While many people simply accept the quality of their showers at home, we don’t believe in settling for anything less than the best. That is why we established Mixermate Australia and that is why we are dedicated to leading our customers to improve the quality of their lives through shower upgrades. Today, we are going to be discussing the benefits that thermostatic showers can impart upon your day-to-day lives. Thermostatic showers, as you’ll soon find out, are an easy and effective way to dramatically improve the quality of your life. Are you ready to enjoy showering in a whole new way? Let’s get to it.

The Benefits of Thermostatic Showers

Before we can really discuss the benefits of thermostatic showers, it stands to reason that you’d probably like to understand what exactly they are. Thermostatic showers were created in order to help people who were particularly beholden to fluctuations in water temperature. Thermostatic showers help to dial in the temperature of your water in order to keep it set at a certain rate. Temperature fluctuations are limited to within a degree or two Celsius. This entire system operates by way of a special valve that is easy to install and easier to maintain. With all of that out of the way, let’s talk about a few of the benefits that thermostatic showers have to offer.

1) Save Water – Thermostatic showers are excellent for a number of different reasons and one of them is the fact that they can help you to dramatically save on your water usage. Presetting your water temperature means that you don’t have to waste water as it heats up.

2) Easy to Install – Thermostatic showers are incredibly easy to install and you won’t even have to disrupt any tiling or wall work. The inline valve is easy to put together and the only time you have to worry about more elaborate installations is if you opt for a premium wall unit.

3) Age/Disability Help – The elderly and disabled are particularly beholden to pain from temperature fluctuations. Thermostatic shelters help to limit fluctuations that would otherwise cause pain and distress. Peace of mind is well worth the upgrade!

As you can see, thermostatic showers are easy to install and effective once they are installed. This convenient shower upgrade allows you to control your water temperature, reduce your water waste, and improve the quality of your showering when you are in the bathroom.

Because showering is a daily necessity, there have been creative innovations to make the chore as comfortable as possible, for all sizes of people and for those that have unique needs. One of the most popular shower types created is the shower and sliding rail, which consists of a shower head attached to a hooked water hose that can be easily adjusted along a sliding rail to reach the desired height.

The most popular models allow the shower head and water hose to be detached from the sliding rail. This allows a person the freedom to hold the shower head, which is ideal for elderly and those with a physical handicap that may require a chair while showering. Having the freedom to hold the shower head in the hand can also help parents to wash their small children, or even their pets!

Benefits of a Mixermate Ram Drill Free Shower and Rail

While shower and rail systems are very popular, installing them requires drilling into tiled shower walls and the need to install extra plumbing, to accommodate new taps, which often also requires removing tiles and light construction work. This prevents many people from installing shower and rail bathing systems in their bathrooms because of the cost of construction and installation, which requires permanent alterations to their tiled shower walls.

Now, with a Mixermate ram drill free shower and rail, there is no need for drilling into shower walls, and, there is also no need for any light construction to add any extra plumbing to accommodate new taps. This is because the ram drill free shower and rail system uses Mixermate taps – taps that utilise your existing plumbing and do not require any construction or drilling to install.

Easy Installation Benefits of Mixermate Wall Mixer Taps and Thermostatic Taps

Not only are Mixermate ram drill free shower and rail systems easy to install, but so are all of the company’s wall mixer taps and thermostatic bathroom and kitchen taps. Mixermate taps effectively replaces individual cold and hot taps (maximum 300mm width) with an easy to use centre, single arm outlet tap. And for people who want to effectively control the flow and temperature of the water in their homes, then thermostatic mixer taps are a must-have item.

With Mixermate products, you will have complete control over the amount of water pressure and how hot water can become in your home, as there is a built-in safety feature/valve that prevents water from reaching scalding temperatures. With the many benefits that Mixermate products offers, it is no wonder that more people are choosing to install them in their homes.

A plumber can make sure that it is installed and working properly, and that no accidental damage is caused by attempting to DIY. Installation only takes about an hour.

Are mixers only for bathroom showers?

Mattson thermostatic showers mixers are exclusive for bathroom use. However, there are other types of mixers available which can be installed on kitchens and bathrooms sinks, and laundry basins.

 

Mixer taps are becoming a very common site to see in showers and bathroom sinks all over Australia, however, mixer taps are also ideally used in kitchens too. In fact, kitchen Mixermate mixer taps are the best to use for those who prefer hand-washing their dishes, instead of using a dishwasher. There are definitely advantages of using mixer taps in the kitchen to hand-wash dishes.

While dishwashers rely on hot water to clean dishes, glasses, pots, and pans, they do use a lot of water in the process, not to mention a considerable amount of electricity too. On the other hand, much water can be saved de-greasing pots, pans, plats, and dishes by soaking these in hot water, the old-fashioned way. Surprisingly, the reason why hot water is beneficial for dishwashing is unknown to many people today.

The Reason Why Hot Water is Beneficial in Dishwashing

There are a few good reasons why using hot water to wash dishes is beneficial, mainly, hot water actually helps to loosen and lift grime, grease and food from dishes and pots. Basically, when dishes, plates and pots are soaked in hot water, they are much easier to clean, even when no dishwashing soap is used. Other reasons why hot water is beneficial for dishwashing include:

Kills bacteria and microorganisms – to effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms, hot water is needed. This is why many people choose to use dishwashers to clean their dishes because dishwashers produce lots of hot water, but they also use up much energy in the process. Using Mixermate kitchen mixer taps, you can produce hot enough water to kill bacteria and microorganisms by soaking your dishes, plats and pots.

Effective at removing grease – soaking pots and pans in hot water will definitely loosen grime, food, and grease. However, if you want to make sure that there is no nasty greasy film, then you need to rinse your dishes in hot water that is hotter than 90 degrees.

Drying time is faster – another benefit of rinsing your dishes in hot water, hotter than 90 degrees, is that they will dry faster than if you use warm or cool water. Not only that, but your dishes will dry streak-free.

Safety Guide for Installing the Mixermate Thermostatic Valve

By this point, you are probably already envisioning all of the ways that it will tangibly improve your life. If you aren’t dreaming of those benefits then we’ll go ahead and reiterate a few of them below. First, however, we need to take a long look at the installation process. There are a few Do’s and Don’ts that you need to be comfortable with.

DO – Make sure that you have enough pressure through your water system in order to power the Mixermate. This valve is NOT compatible with gravity fed systems. For all other systems, you need to have 100 KPA at a minimum.

DON’T – Let the hot water supply in your home sit under 50 degrees Celsius. When your water supply gets under this mark, the Mixermate can struggle to function.

DO – Make sure to take annual temperature and flow readings every year. The element within the thermostatic valve should be changed roughly every five years in order to make sure that operation stays smooth and safe.

DON’T – Spend money buying a bunch of tools. The Mixermate can be installed without removing a single tile or altering your plumbing. All you have to do is replace your older shower taps and let the Mixermate do the rest of the work. The installation process is a little different if you are purchasing an In-Wall thermostatic mixer, however.

The most common burn injuries among all age groups is from hot water scalding, this is mainly because non-compensating type shower valves in bathrooms cannot regulate water temperature. And, it is young children and elderly who are at the greatest risk of third degree burns and thermal shock.

Sudden increase in hot water, or the unexpected decrease in cold water, can catch people by surprise. This can cause thermal shock, which can cause a person to slip and fall in the shower while frantically attempting to turn off scalding water. Fortunately, today, technology exists that can effectively prevent third degree burns, and thermal shock from scalding water, with thermostatic mixing valves.

Thermostatic Mixing Valves Prevent Third Degree Burns and Thermal Shock

Water temperature can easily be controlled with only one lever because the mixer valve effectively combine the hot and cold water lines, thus eliminating having to rely on turning two separate knobs to attain the ideal temperature you want to shower with.

How does thermostatic mixer valves work?

Inside the water mixing chamber of the valves is a thermostat where water temperature is sensed and regulated. If water becomes too hot, the seat assembly will automatically cut of the flow of water. In the same way, it normally functions by controlling the flow of hot and cold water in the mixing chamber before it is allowed to flow through a shower head or faucet.

When you install Mixermate thermostatic mixer valves, you can set the limit on the maximum water temperature, it is a built-in feature. With this anti-scalding technology, water will be limited to roughly 38′ Celsius. However, you are able to manually override this safety feature, but water will still be regulated to a maximum of 50′ Celsius to eliminate the risk of scalding burns.

Without a doubt, Mixermate thermostatic mixer valves are the best way to maintain steady water temperature. This is because these have a built-in automatic shut off system that prevent third degree burns, and they also ensure regular water pressure too.

Shower in comfort and safety, with Mixermate thermostatic mixer valves. Set your ideal temperature and feel confident knowing that you and your family are protected from third degree burns caused from scalding water.
