Do you often hear angry screams from the bathroom when the water is drained into the toilet or the mixer is opened? Then this article is for you, we will calculate the reasons and outline a plan for your actions to eliminate the contrast shower.
Let's start with how the author solved this question for himself. I have a thermostat installed on the hot water pipe. The hot water temperature does not rise above 38-39 degrees.
Because of this, I do not burn myself with hot water. I wash for pleasure. And when we wash the child, we will never scald his ass. By the way, such systems are installed in kindergartens. So that the guys are not burned. Cons of the system, requires money. A link to the article will be at the end of the post.
What to do if you burn yourself with water from the shower?
Action plan:
The first step is to understand how often this happens. If once or twice a year, then your system is working fine.
If every time or every time you go to the shower, you get burned, then you need to find out if this problem is only with you or everyone around the house?
To do this, ask the neighbors in your riser, do they encounter a "contrast" shower? If so, then everyone has a problem.
What to do if there is a problem with sudden changes in pressure throughout the house?
It turned out that the problem with pressure drops not only with you but also with the neighbors in the riser, then the problem is solved together with the neighbors.
To do this, you first need to go to your house management and find a site master, explain the problem. It is important that he sent intelligent locksmiths to inspect the water supply system, and not slobs, of which there are many in the Housing Office.
If the problem in the house is not identified and no further measures are taken, then threaten them that they will send a complaint to the Housing Inspectorate. After these words, they begin to move.
The fact is that the water supply system that they serve has problems with throughput and therefore one water, hot water supply or cold water supply squeezes the other at the time of parsing water by other residents of the house.
There are norms, they are given in the paragraph:
The building codes establish the following data for the pressure in the water supply system of apartment buildings -
Hot water 0.3 - 4.5 MPa
Cold water 0.3 - 6 MPa
You can use these numbers when talking with representatives of the house management.
What to do if there is a problem with sudden changes in pressure in your apartment?
If the neighbors do not have "contrast showers" then the first step is to check the clogging of the filters in your wiring, do it yourself or by calling a plumber.
If the filters are clean, then there is a high probability of narrowing the cross-section of the pipeline, especially if your water supply is made of polypropylene. In order to eliminate this factor, invite an experienced plumber, he will find the problem area.
Rarely, but there is a malfunction of the mixer, sometimes this problem is solved by replacing the latter. Even if the faucet is working properly, the easiest way to get rid of burns in the shower is to use a special thermostatic faucet. They can be purchased online at I'm Market.
Experienced experts, "the head is not a house of advice", if there is additional information to add anything to the article, I look forward to your comment. I will definitely fix it to make it easier for readers.
