Is it possible to have a thermostatic shower?

The Thermostatic Shower valve set is indeed a convenient solution for controlling water temperature in the shower. With a thermostatic faucet, you won't need to manually adjust the water temperature every time as it automatically regulates the water pressure of hot and cold water to maintain a stable outlet temperature. This ensures a comfortable and safe showering experience.

Thermostatic showers come in different price ranges. The cost can vary depending on factors such as the brand, design, and additional features. Generally, thermostatic showers may be slightly more expensive compared to regular shower sets, but the benefits of convenience and safety they offer make them worth considering.

There are two common types of thermostatic valve cores used in these showers: the wax element valve core and the shape memory alloys (SMA) springs valve core. The wax element valve core uses paraffin wax to adjust the water temperature, while the SMA valve core utilizes a shape memory alloy spring made of nickel-titanium to regulate the mixing ratio of hot and cold water. Both types provide quick and accurate temperature adjustment.

To use a thermostatic shower, there is usually a temperature control knob on the left side and a water flow control knob on the right side. The left knob adjusts the water temperature, and typically turning it forward reduces the temperature, while turning it backward increases the temperature. However, it may be limited to prevent scalding, usually around 40°C. If you need hotter water, you may need to press a safety button and continue turning the knob. The right knob controls the water flow and the amount of water, with forward twisting increasing the flow.

The prices of thermostatic Shower Valve sets vary depending on the different configurations. If your budget allows, you can opt for Brass or Stainless Steel Shower Head and hand shower, as they are known for their durability. They are particularly long-lasting.

On the other hand, if you have a limited budget but still want to purchase a thermostatic shower set, you can choose to pair it with ABS Shower Head and hand shower. ABS is a type of plastic that is cost-effective and durable, making it a more affordable option.
