Types of mixers on the market

Water mixers for domestic use, also called taps in everyday jargon, have the purpose of delivering hot and cold water, even mixing it. They can be of five different types:

• traditional. Water is supplied by two independent knobs
• with mixing valve. The amount of water delivered and the temperature are regulated by a single control. This is why they are also called single-lever, typically lever-operated.
• thermostats. These are taps equipped with a special device that allows the temperature level to be fixed for as long as the water is open.
• automatic. These are the mixers equipped with a photocell that only dispense water when they 'see' movement close to the tap. They are typical of shopping centres and service areas.
• Hydroprogressives. They are characterised by a single control that allows you to switch from a small supply of cold water to an increased amount of hot water with the rotation of the control lever.

 

What is inside a mixer? What is the tap cartridge?

Externally, the mixer looks like a steel or other material body, usually surmounted by a lever. In fact, this is the classic case of single lever mixers. The 'secret' of this type of mixer, however, lies in the element inside, called the cartridge.

In effect, the cartridge is the plastic device that enables mixing. In fact, at the base of the tap come the hot and cold water pipes, which push the water into the cartridge. It is equipped with a series of ceramic discs that allow the water to be mixed. At the end is a single water outlet and normally a pin that engages inside the control lever.

 

Recommended mixer maintenance

As many people know, water for domestic use can contain a certain amount of mineral salts and metals, some of which are natural and some from the water pipes. These can naturally settle inside the water mixing systems, which are of course at the end of the supply circuit.

Therefore, after renovations and in any case before fitting new taps, it is advisable to clean the system to remove residues accumulated over time. In fact, any grains of sand or stones that settle in the discs of the mixer cartridge risk ruining it and not allowing the optimal supply of water.

Another tip for a constant water supply is to monitor the state of use and consumption of the mixer's jet breaker, also known as the aerator or water breaker. It is in this part that many residues accumulate. Cleaning or replacing it helps to have a precise and comfortable jet.

 

Trick to adjust hot water to the ideal seasonal temperature and save gas

Often the hot water mixer is oriented at half the maximum possible temperature, so as not to scald. This is certainly a practical behaviour, which is specifically possible quickly thanks to single-lever mixers. Despite this, however, it is not the most efficient choice.

In fact, the incoming hot water from the boiler, with a three-quarter opening, as in the example above, involves mixing hot water with cold water. Which means that the boiler has heated the hot water to a higher temperature than desired.

Although many boilers have the ability to modulate the desired water temperature, this is often not the most efficient. In fact, modulation means that the temperature at which the boiler delivers water is limited with respect to the maximum possible potential, in order to use less gas. Nevertheless, modulation occurs on the basis of the temperature set on the boiler itself.

To make this as efficient as possible, we provide a little trick. At each season of the year, assess the maximum temperature you would like for the domestic water by directing the hot water from the mixer to the maximum opening. If the water becomes boiling, you can reduce the temperature. That is the secret! Set the hot water from the boiler to the desired maximum and always open the mixer to maximum when you want that temperature level. This way, the boiler will work at the temperature you want and you will not have to mix with cold water! In fact, in winter you may want warmer water and in summer less hot water... It therefore makes no sense to always ask the boiler for the same temperature and then 'waste' the heat generated!
