To keep your mixing valve working properly:
· Inspect washers and seals for leaks annually
· Lubricate handle stems and valves regularly
· Remove and clean aerators and filters as needed
· Exercise valve from full hot to full cold occasionally
Installing a hot and cold water mixing valve was a simple way to add temperature control and prevent scalds and burns. I highly recommend having one installed anywhere hot and cold water meet in your home. Your plumber can help select the right model.
