Finally showers reasonable again!

After moving into a new apartment, it soon a problem when showering a: In the old apartment Hot water was produced centrally in the basement by an oil heating system, now "thanks" Ferwärme in the bathroom by an electronic water heater newer design. The shower head, hose from the old apartment was of course in spite Model "Plastic Bomber" from the hardware store and picked assembled, who wants to use already in this area, the equipment of the previous tenant? It was summer, and the adjustment stage 1 / fine adjustment max. brought a pleasant shower temperature fully up hot water at the mixer tap. But at some point then the winter came, and with it a lower flow temperature. In the old setting, the water was too cold, so the water heater should even show what such a temperature setting is good.

And so went the drama going on.

Despite three settings and a variable fine control, it was not possible to set a water temperature at which it will be cooked or schockgefrostet not either alive. The water was too hot, you then place the lever on the mixer in the direction of cold made it sometime in Durchlauferhizer "clack", and the water was eisekalt. A reasonable middle ground did not seem to be, in spite of many, many experiments with the settings. I'm pretty tough, but if you with the temperature for strife in the shower more than just comfortable to clean up, the fun stops for me at some point on. My first thought was, of course, a complaint directly with the landlord, because at first glance it konte yes only lie on the water heater. Or? So, at first googled the problem, and lo and behold - I was far from being the only one with this problem. A calcified DLE difference for me quickly, because this House only five years old, and the water rather soft in the area. A second possibility made me more attention. Structurally related need the heater a certain minimum flow of water, this is not the case, the unit one step returns. If this is the cause of this clack? In theory it sounded plausible is admixed to the cold water faucet, decreases thus the flow of hot water in DLE. Is this anyway too low, the power is reduced, and the water is cold. Cause should be an inappropriate shower head which transmits too little water. A quick check on your home Equipment reinforced this theory. At the entrance of the shower diameter was artificially rejuvenated, that was then probably the advertised "Water Saving". So I needed a new shower head.

The answer?

After a search on Amazon My choice then fell on the Crometta 85, also because it was explicitly advertised as suitable for water heater. After two days I was able to take the packet in reception, and the voltage was of course great if I could finally take a shower comfortably again. The enclosed water saving device has been left equal times out, the shower head complained, and lo and behold - after less than one minute a pleasant shower temperature was set. I could now give even a little cold water and so to vary the temperature, without the DLE umschaltete. The flow of the shower had here thus be higher than in the old, and solved the problem with that. Eureka!

And otherwise?

First of a lot of text, which has little to do with the actual quality of the shower head. But maybe it helps yes one or other the person who has a similar problem. For effervescent self: my first impression was very good, especially at this price you do not expect only times the value presented here. No comparison to the more moderate plastic Feeliging his predecessor, here you have really something in his hand. The adjustment for the two spray patterns does not seem, as one would have to worry about him, and also the massage function is very pleasant to indulge tense parts of the body with it. Amazingly for a product for just under 16 euros, the "made in Germany" is also, and was not screwed together in the Far East. So finally makes showering fun!
