What can it be used for?
A shower head that shows the temperature of the water by different coloured lights.
You can purchase these from some shops that sell shower heads or search for 'temperature sensitive colour changing shower head' on the internet.
Benefits
- Increased Safety: The colour change provides a visual indicator of the water temperature, reducing the risk of using the water when it is too hot or cold. This can be particularly useful for people who have difficulty with feeling water temperature.
- Convenience: It easily shows when the water has reached the desired temperature. Many models are powered by the water flow, eliminating the need for batteries or electrical connections. Depending on the type they can be easy to fit by unscrewing the end of the old shower head and screwing in the colour changing one.
- Energy Awareness: Visual cues will show as soon as the water is the correct temperature meaning water is used sooner. This could help save on water and energy bills.
Things to Consider
- Suitability: Check the shower head is compatible with the current shower fitting. Will this be easy to install or will a plumber be needed?
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning may be required to prevent mineral or soap build-up and ensure the lights continue to function properly. Consider who will do this.
- Accuracy: The temperature sensors should be accurate to provide reliable colour changes. Check reviews.
- Cost and Value for Money: These shower heads might be more expensive than standard ones. Consider initial price and ongoing maintenance. Look for models made from high-quality materials to ensure they last longer.
