How we Achieve This...

Temperature As Steady As A Rock

Until now, thermostatic shower mixer valves have been designed to handle temperature variations and moderate supply water variations but not sudden pressure peaks or troughs. Pressure controlled TMV3 approved shower mixer valves on the other hand have been designed to cope with fluctuating pressure but not fluctuating temperature.

FM Mattsson are the first manufacturer in the world to create a TMV3 approved shower mixer valve combining the control of temperature and pressure in a single cartridge. This means that no matter what happens in your house plumbing system the mixed water temperature in your safety shower will remain constant. We are the only manufacturer that will guarantee the performance of our safety shower mixer valves.

Always in Control Of Hot Water Temperature, Always Smoothing The Pressure Peaks

In every system there are only 2 factors determining the stability of the mixed water temperature in a TMV3 approved shower mixer valve: the pressure and the temperature of the feeding water.

If both temperature and pressure are steady you can use any mixing valve and enjoy a consistent even mixed water temperature.

The problem is that this is a perfect system which does not exist in the real world. Instead the mixer itself has to be prepared for "Come What May".

The FM Mattsson Mixer is prepared.
