What are thermostatic taps and how do they work?

Discover the advantages of this system, which regulates water temperature and flow automatically.

How many times have you been surprised by a sudden change in water temperature while having a shower? It is all too common to suddenly and unexpectedly (not to mention unpleasantly) be taken by surprise by a jet of cold – or hot – water that ruins what is supposed to be a moment of tranquillity and relaxation in the shower. Our thermostatic taps will prevent this from ever happening to you again, as they automatically mix the hot and cold water to provide a constant stream of water at the desired temperature. It is an especially useful feature for showers and bath-showers, as it allows you to turn the tap on and off without this affecting the water temperature or flow, although it can also be found in other uses and applications. In this article we set out the main advantages of this system. Would you like to know what they are?

Thermostatic taps are remarkable for keeping the water temperature constant even if another tap is turned on and the water pressure drops. The fact that the system regulates the temperature precisely can be very practical, especially if there are children or people who require special care in the home, as it ensures that the water is at the set temperature.

The system achieves the desired temperature almost immediately and accurately, as it has a handle with a wide turning radius for regulating the water temperature.

It is a factory-calibrated system, set at 38 °C and equipped with a safety stop. This measure is especially useful for preventing accidents in the home when the tap is being used by children or elderly people. If you want a temperature that is above 38 °C, you need to press a button and turn the handle all the way.

This ensures maximum safety even if the cold water supply is interrupted. If that happens, the system automatically shuts off the flow of hot water, preventing domestic accidents and ensuring that users do not get scalded.

The system’s internal cartridge which is highly reliable, is made of anti-limescale synthetic material, which means that there is no build-up of limescale and the tapware has a longer life.
