Do you know [3M Province valve] In addition to saving water also done?

Some may ask what is the province of valve? smile15
If you do not know or may know but not sure people can click on the following two links will know, is as follows:

  1. 3M Province, official website information on valve
  2. Share-one touch water-saving devices @ Lbw the film was readily

As the official website and many people share the article said,
It's really water-saving effect has been proved
So, no longer dwell on it water-saving features it!

Today because of broken home, kitchen faucet, so the home owner of a nearby water line up to repair,
He repaired valve that we use in the province, the
Tell us the best use of it,
We asked him why, he just say some of his experiences
This let us know in addition to saving water valve outside province also helped us to do what .... smile1

It also helped that in the end what have we done?
Water, the owner told us that
Most people assume that the use of provincial water valve in the kitchen when the water stopped only temporarily (for one touch ah!) Rather than do the switch closed
Also because the majority of households in hot and cold taps are the same (turn left, turn right hot cold),
If the kitchen tap and do not do the switch closed,
Use hot water in the bathroom occur when the water is not hot enough condition
This is because the kitchen cold water tap switch did not shut down the flow of hot water,
Easy to make many people think that water heater is broken,
Well then find someone to repair or to go for sets, water heaters,
But really the water heater broken?
Is not true Oh! smile17

You should see what I see here, what to say now?
If the home is hot and cold tap, then all of a natural valve that did not use the province this issue
It is hot and cold taps at home they use the same province when the valve,
Would suggest that you not use water to turn off the tap,
Otherwise, the next home water heater not hot enough that it is the first time Never broken water heater,
Or the first province to determine the family has installed the faucet valves are closed and try again really good Oh! smile3

    The purpose of this article is not to depreciate the effectiveness of provincial valve, but would like to share and remind a friend in use, if the family feel better than before the cold water, you can try to provincial water valve for the time being not to use, perhaps to solve it! may save a large expenditure of unnecessary Oh!

    But after reading your article, I have been thinking about this problem. In the end, the owner of the water put it right? The kitchen cold water really hot water into the water flowing into it?

    When open the hot water bath, cold water from the inlet into the water heater, through the heated water from the outlet sent, the hot water outlet (connected tee) will be diverted to the bathroom with the kitchen, if the kitchen to the bathroom cold water will affect it must be from the hot water flow into the bathroom where three-way pipe hot water pipes.
    But then I then I thought, when open water bath, the entire hot water pipe filled with water to three links interfaces of view, water heater exports - the bathroom hot water pipes - the kitchen hot water pipe is full of the three pipes hot water pressure, this time back into the kitchen to the bathroom cold water pipes, cold water pressure must first be higher than the only way to get the kitchen cold water flow into the kitchen's hot water pipes and then flows into the bathroom through the interface, hot links tube. like this seems unlikely, unless the house's own water heater inlet water pressure already relatively low, causing water pressure already relatively low.

    Sorry! I just think the reasoning used, my home province, are not equipped with valve so no way to actually test. Moderators can help solve this experiment doubt? On opening night, when hot water bathroom, kitchen faucet valve installed Province Do not pass, to see if they will affect the hot water bath, then put off the kitchen faucet tight to see the hot water bath is not resumed.

    That water line boss repair my kitchen faucet and when I say this, just a few days before the fire point of my home water heater is not up, I thought no battery heater, and now useless province of valve, and also no longer have fire points are not up the situation! The spirit of this experiment and you want to say sorry it! Province valve on the same day lost ... smile1

    "Using the province only temporarily when the water valve block (because one touch ah!) Rather than actually to switch off"
    "The water block" with the "off switch" What is the difference??
    That switch is not the water block??

    Province valve is temporarily blocked the export of water, but not the water of the switch, it will then look at water pressure further out, and then press about water has stopped coming! Such statements do you know? smile2

    If this is so long as the cold water tap switch to push in the end there just fine.
    Push in the end because the water is equivalent to closing hot water, and only cold water.

    And ah, even the kitchen cold water flowing into the hot water inlet pipe, causing only the hot water bath mixed with cold water, so the bathroom will feel the water is not hot enough, there should be no impact on the water heater because the water heater outlet are in the water there will be pressure, not let the kitchen cold water outlet from the water heater back into the water heater.

    The article did not mention water heater will cause harm, but people will not know that the water heater does not heat up, the bad, and then find someone to repair even replace it, the result is a province of valve just because the reasons for it! smile8
