Pressure balance shower systems are essential to maintaining a safe and comfortable shower experience. At Dupont Kitchen and Bath Fixtures, we offer pressure balance shower systems engineered to provide reliable water temperature control and versatile outlet options to suit your bathing preferences.
In their most basic form, pressure balance shower systems typically have 1-2 outlets. These can include a showerhead paired with a tub spout that incorporates a diverter, or a showerhead paired with a hand shower. The diverter allows you to switch between the outlets for flexible water flow options.
Want more than two outlets in your shower system? Adding diverter valves provides the ability to expand your setup. With additional diverters, you can incorporate more than just a showerhead or hand shower. You can add luxurious features like body sprays or rainfall showerheads, customizing your shower system to your exact specifications. This allows for a spa-like experience with different water sources working in harmony.
The key to maintaining a consistent temperature in pressure balance shower systems lies in their pressure-balancing valve. This valve contains a special mechanism known as a pressure-balancing spool. The spool detects variations in water pressure between the hot and cold water supply lines, automatically adjusting to prevent sudden temperature fluctuations.
This means that if someone flushes a toilet or uses a faucet elsewhere in your home, the valve compensates for the change in pressure, protecting you from abrupt changes in water temperature. The pressure-balancing spool ensures the hot and cold water supply remains proportionate, so you can enjoy a steady and comfortable shower.
Safety: The pressure-balancing valve reduces the risk of scalding, making it ideal for households with children or elderly members who are more sensitive to sudden temperature changes.
Consistent Comfort: You can expect a steady temperature throughout your shower, even if other fixtures are in use.
Versatility: With diverter valves, you can design a shower system that meets your bathing needs, whether you prefer a simple setup or an indulgent, multi-outlet experience.
Easy Installation and Maintenance: Most pressure balance systems are straightforward to install, and regular maintenance of the valve ensures long-term functionality.
