If you're in the market to purchase a new shower, there are many shower mixing valves to consider. Those are the valves that dictate the heat or coolness of the water, in other words whether or not you are going to have a good shower. Now let’s review a few sorts of shower mixing valves and why they are good.
Thermostatic shower valves are ideal in a “family” scenario. They maintain the water temperature all right. This means that the water won’t suddenly become rocket hot or icy cold on you while you are taking a shower. These valves also offer a safety feature that will shut off the water if the pressure changes abruptly, to help prevent burns. This is great if you have small children or elderly parents who use the shower.
You have also the choice of pressure balance valves for your shower. These valves maintain the temperature by adjusting the hot and cold water that come out. Pressure-balanced valves can prevent drastic shifts in temperature, but may not be as precise as thermostatic valves. When you opt between these two types of valves, consider what your family needs.
This diverter and separate volume control shower valve allows you to adjust the water flow separately between multiple showerheads. This allows more than one person to shower simultaneously without interrupting each other’s water flow. These are ideal for homes with multiple shower preferences, or if you’re looking to add spa-like elements to their shower. With Mingkan's variety of distinct shower valves, you can design your ideal shower.
Digital shower valves are becoming more popular because you can easily control the temperature and flow of water. Digital valves let you preselect your favorite temperature with the push of a button. With manual valves, you twist a knob or lever to set the temperature and flow. Touchless valves operate with motion sensors, turning water on and off, good for anyone who wants a hands-free experience. Consider your family's habits when you're deciding between the types of shower vales.
If you desire a luxury shower with multiple showerheads, body jets and a hand shower, a diverter valve will be required. Diverter valves allow you to select which water output (shower head, body jets, etc.) the water from your shower will be directed to. Mingkan has a variety of diverter valves to match your needs, whether it be a simple two-way diverter or a more complex three-way diverter. By adding a diverter valve, you can set up a shower that’s just for you.
