What's the difference between shower shock and an anti scalding valve in plumbing for a shower?
Question:
Answers:
Anti Scald means that if the temp goes too high the valve will choke off the hot water. People refer to Shower Shock as a sudden change in temp, usually when another fixture is used causing the temp in the shower to change; this is prevented by a balancing valve which compensates for the change. So, you need a balancing valve with Anti Scald feature to control both situations.
I'm not quite sure how to respond. Shower shock usually refers to getting a electrical shock from your shower. Anti-scalding valves work by closing off water flow when the water reaches a certain temp. A temperature balanced shower diverter keeps the water at the same temp. Hope that helps.
