How to Prevent Shower Scald
Probably some of your best moves are never seen by anyone because they occur when you�re enjoying a nice, warm shower, then suddenly the water goes to near boiling. What is your move? Arched Back? Frantic sideway leap? We all know what happened some thoughtless, evil resident in your home has flushed a toilet.
Thankfully, there is a cure for shower scald. It's called a pressure-balance valve, and its mission in life is to prevent that sudden moment of torture for you. These pressure-balancing devices prevent shower scald by automatically adjusting for temperature fluctuations whenever water, whether cold or hot, is diverted from the tub or shower, such as when someone flushes a toilet or starts up a load of laundry. Even in an instance when the water pressure drops drastically, a pressure-balance valve makes sure that the water temperature doesn't change by more than 3 degrees F.
If you think having a pressure-balance valve installed seems like a luxury, consider this: According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, some 200,000 Americans suffer injuries each year caused by sudden changes in water temperature while they're bathing. Everyone is in danger of getting scalded or falling as they try to escape the hot water, but young children, the elderly and the physically challenged suffer the most injuries.
