Timed thermostatic mixers: temperature and flow control in a single gesture

Can a simple valve change the way we think about water safety and efficiency in public spaces? The answer is yes. This is the case of the timed thermostatic mixers developed by Idral: devices that integrate precise regulation of temperature and water supply in a single gesture.

Behind their apparent simplicity hides a compact and sophisticated technology, designed to offer comfort, protection and sustainability. A technical choice that becomes strategic: with a single gesture, temperature and flow under control, in total safety.

Technology that simplifies and protects

Normally, the management of temperature and water supply time requires two separate devices: a thermostatic cartridge for temperature control and a timed system for automatic flow shut-off. With the TERMO-TEMPO cartridge, Idral's proprietary technology, these two functions now coexist in a single compact solution.

This innovation has changed the rules of the game: the thermostatic mixer is no longer confined to use in showers or large spaces, but can also be installed in washbasins and shower panels, thanks to the drastic reduction in overall dimensions. The compact design facilitates both aesthetic integration into architectural designs as well asinstallation and maintenance, making the technology accessible even in small spaces. Furthermore, theuser experience is simplified and intuitive, overcoming one of the perceived limitations of traditional thermostatic taps, which are often complex for the end user to operate. What's more, the ease of adjustment and the clarity of the controls eliminate the need for additional training or guidance for the user: everything is immediate, fluid, natural.

This innovation guarantees:

• constant temperature, with safety lock at 38°C (can be deactivated manually);
• automatic shut-off of the flow after a predefined time;
• immediate response to pressure variations;
• anti-scald protection in the event of a sudden lack of cold water.

Functionality and design for every environment

Idral's range of timed thermostatic mixers adapts to a variety of design requirements, with models for shower and washbasin, built-in or surface-mounted. Whether for sanitary, school or wellness environments, Idral offers configurations to precisely meet the most specific design requirements.

More than a technical detail: a design choice

For those who design bathroom environments intended for the public, choosing a timed thermostatic mixer means guaranteeing not only the wellbeing of users, but also optimised management of resources. Less water consumed, less energy to heat it, less risk of malfunctioning or improper use.

It is a concrete response to European regulations on safety and energy efficiency, but also a tool to enhance the aesthetics of the project: the absence of duplicate controls, the elegance of the compact design, the smooth integration into wall coverings are details that make the difference.

From nursery schools to designer spas, Idral timed thermostatic mixers demonstrate how it is possible to combine technical precision, reliability and aesthetic quality. A tailor-made solution for those who believe that every detail counts and want to ensure a safe, sustainable and intuitive experience.

Discovering and choosing the most suitable model is now easier: Idral provides technical data sheets, design advice and direct assistance to support every step of the process, from selection to installation.
