The best tips for choosing your ideal bathtub mixer
Choosing the right bathtub mixer is often a bit complicated, as there are many models available on the market with different features and functions. To help you make your choice, we have gathered the best tips and information about the different types of bathtub faucets and the most important criteria to consider.
What is a bathtub mixer?
A bathtub mixer is a type of faucet that allows you to adjust the water temperature by mixing hot and cold water with a single lever. Unlike traditional faucets, which require two separate handles to control hot and cold water, the mixer offers a more practical and modern solution for enjoying your bathtub.
The different types of bathtub mixers
Mechanical mixers
Mechanical mixers are the most classic and easy-to-use models. They are equipped with a metal cartridge containing pierced ceramic discs that ensure the mixing and distribution of water. When you turn the handle, the discs overlap to allow hot and cold water to mix in the desired proportions.
Thermostatic mixers
Thermostatic mixers are more advanced than mechanical models. They incorporate a device that allows you to adjust the water temperature with great precision and maintain this temperature constant throughout the bath. This avoids unpleasant temperature variations and reduces the risk of accidental burns.
In addition, thermostatic mixers also have an anti-scald function: if the cold water supply is interrupted (for example in the event of a cut), the flow of hot water is automatically cut off to avoid any risk of burns.
Criteria to consider when choosing the right model
Design
The aesthetics of your bathtub mixer must harmoniously integrate into your bathroom. Today, there are faucets with various shapes and neat finishes, ranging from classic to contemporary, through minimalist or industrial design. Feel free to compare the different models, taking into account their materials and overall appearance.
Cartridge quality
Whether you choose a mechanical or thermostatic mixer, the quality of the cartridge is an important element to consider. Ceramic cartridges are generally more resistant and ensure good sealing in the long term. Don't forget to check that your faucet has a quality cartridge to ensure its proper functioning and optimal lifespan.
Flow and pressure
Some bathtub mixers are designed to work with specific water flow or pressure. Make sure to choose a model adapted to the configuration of your installation, taking into account local standards and the specific needs of your household. If, for example, you have low water pressure, it will be preferable to choose a low-pressure mixer.
Additional functions
It is also interesting to see if the bathtub mixer offers additional functions that could improve your comfort. For example, some models allow you to set the maximum temperature to avoid the risk of burns or to reduce the flow to save water.
How to install a bathtub mixer?
If you want to replace or install a new bathtub mixer, here are the steps to follow:
Turn off the water supply in the bathroom.
Remove the old faucet if necessary using an adjustable wrench and a screwdriver.
Clean the surface of the bathtub and the water inlets carefully.
Inspect and prepare the elements of the new mixer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure you have all the necessary components for installation.
Attach the body of the mixer to the bathtub and tighten it using the supplied nuts.
Then connect the hoses to the hot and cold water inlets. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions in terms of positioning (generally, hot water on the left and cold water on the right).
Finally, proceed with the assembly of the different parts (handle, shower head, etc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Turn on the water supply and check for leaks at the mixer and connections.
For a successful installation, it is recommended to seek professional help, especially if you are not familiar with this type of work or if your installation has particular characteristics. An experienced plumber will be able to carry out the installation efficiently and safely, while complying with current standards.
