Do you want to buy a mixer capable of maintaining the water temperature very precisely during your shower? Even during a change in temperature? Don't like staying under cold or hot water for several tens of seconds, waiting to find the right temperature setting? The thermostatic mixer is the device you will need. Discover it below.
What is the interest of a thermostatic mixer?
Unlike taps, the mixer has two separate handles, allowing you to choose the flow (pressure) as well as the temperature of your water. Thanks to a proven system, it allows you, even when your flow is fluctuating, or when you want to change the temperature, to always benefit from excellent stability (pressure + °C).
Thanks to its thermostatic cartridge, which differentiates it from a "classic" mixer, you do not feel any temperature fluctuations. No matter whether you are adjusting your water to be hotter or colder, or if someone in your home is using another tap, you won't feel any difference. No more showers where you have to contort yourself to avoid water that is too hot or too cold.
A huge advantage compared to other systems or a simple tap, which can quickly become a chore when you can't get it set right.
