Heck, when it comes to showers, this is the "singer" of the shower experience! Let Jiajia give you a good chat about the difference between hot and cold showers and constant temperature showers.
Hot and cold showers.
Hot and cold showers, to put it mildly, are "old-school" showers. You need to adjust the ratio of hot and cold water yourself to find what you call the "perfect temperature". It relies on two knobs, one for cold water and the other for hot water, and you have to adjust them like a DJ until you "synthesize" the water temperature that suits you.
Advantages: simple structure and stable use.
Maintenance is easy, and replacement parts are generally cheaper.
Disadvantages: The water temperature must be readjusted every time you use it, and for people who are not very sensitive to adjustment, you may "burn your butt" or "shiver with cold" if you are not careful
If the water pressure in your home is unstable, or the water heater does not respond fast enough, you may have an embarrassing situation of sudden heat and sudden cold.
Jiajia feels that this is completely a scumbag in the shower, hot and cold, like glue when it is hot, and cold as if it is in Antarctica!
Thermostatic showerhead.
The thermostatic shower is equivalent to a "high-tech" product, connected to a small artifact - thermostatic valve, you only need to set the water temperature you want once, it can automatically help you adjust the mixing ratio of hot and cold water, to ensure that the water temperature is constant.
Pros: Convenient and comfortable, once the temperature is set, you don't have to adjust it every time you take a shower.
Even if other faucets in the house are used and the water pressure changes, it can keep the water temperature stable, allowing you to say goodbye to the "torture" of being hot and cold in the shower
It is safer for families with small children or the elderly, and there is no need to worry about them accidentally overadjusting their heads and causing burns.
Cons: *Relatively expensive.
If the thermostat valve is broken, the cost of replacement repair is higher.
The water supply system is demanding, and if the water quality is not good, it may affect the sensitivity of the thermostatic valve.
The constant temperature remains the same, just like treating your feelings, consistently, from the beginning to the present, and will always be consistent in the future, this is not the beautiful relationship we are looking forward to, authentic warm men!
To sum up, if you pursue "experience first" and there are many elderly and children at home, the thermostatic shower is definitely your first choice. But if you're on a budget, or if you're the type of person who wants to keep your soul active in the bath and can find fun in the spun faucet, then hot and cold are also a practical option.
So, which style to choose actually depends on your personal preferences and actual needs. Whether you want to be a "shower DJ" or enjoy the treatment of "constant temperature VIP", Jiajia is fully up to you to choose! Either way, as long as you wash it well, it's a good shower, right?
