Shower faucet: It is a drain valve of the tap, which is a bathroom device that controls the flow of hot and cold water by turning it on or off.

So, what is the principle of the shower faucet? The following is a thermostatic shower faucet.

Working principle:

There is a thermistor inside the hot and cold water mixing outlet of the thermostatic faucet. The change of water temperature causes the thermistor to expand or contract to continuously adjust the ratio of hot and cold water inlet, so that the outlet water temperature remains at the set temperature value, which is not affected by the change of hot water temperature, the increase or decrease of water consumption or the change of water pressure.

With the rise of water prices, people have to pay attention to the water saving of faucets. Usually, the water output of an ordinary faucet is greatly different from that of a water-saving faucet. The water-saving faucets on the market can be opened and closed hundreds of thousands of times without leaking a drop of water, which can save 30-50% of water compared with the old faucets.

New faucets with various high-tech technologies, such as ceramic chips, variable pitch, and self-closing, are tightly closed, sensitive, and only one-tenth the closing speed of old faucets, with significant water-saving effects. The latest water-saving faucets have new designs, which can adjust or remove the water saver installed in the faucet by themselves, and freely switch to control the water-saving rate, thereby enhancing the water-saving effect.

Understanding the principle of the shower faucet can quickly find the cause when the shower faucet is damaged. I hope it will be helpful to interested friends.
