Benefits of an Anti-Scald Shower Valve
A little at a time, the American population is aging. In fact, the number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to nearly double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060, and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population will rise from 16 percent to 23 percent.
While 2060 sounds like a long way off, aging issues are very real for a large percentage of the current population – issues that need to be addressed. And nowhere are seniors more likely to injure themselves than in the bathroom.
One way to provide an extra measure of protection for all family members – not just seniors – is with an anti-scald shower valve. Here are just a few good reasons to make the switch:
- Safety and comfort. An anti-scald valve prevents burn injuries in the shower or bathtub while the constant water temperature provides comfort and peace of mind.
- Long-term savings. Anti-scald valves that control both water pressure and temperature fluctuation will end up saving you money because you won’t spend as much time trying to get the temperature just right. You’ll also save money and keep the valve working longer by routinely removing calcium deposits from the aerator with a vinegar solution.
- Higher volume of hot water. You’ll enjoy a great supply of hot water since the amount is regulated by the valve which, in turn, helps conserve water.
Anti-scald valves for your bathroom or kitchen faucet also help to prevent burns.
