Caroma and Dorf Aim To Refuse Hot Water Scalds Risk _____________________________________________________________________________________
In Australia, every year approximately 1,800 children are suffering from burns injury and required to hospitalize. About one in five is burns due to contact to Hot Tap Water. It’s not just about kids but also many old age people and people with disabilities are facing the high risk of burns from hot tap water. As per the Victorian data, each year over 60 Victorians with more than 65 years of age are hospitalized just because of hot water scalds.
To, prevent the hot water scalds, prominent brands Caroma and Dorf take initiative by introducing an innovative feature to specific mixer tap ranges. Mixer taps provides fully flexible cartridge with an inbuilt safety function that limits the rotation of the handle, restricting very hot water from flowing out of the mixer. Due to this anti-scald feature, if the mixer tap handle can only be turned so far, the water hotness can be set at a chosen maximum level and cannot boost further. Setting the maximum temperature is quick and simple. From Caroma Dr. Steve Cummings, Research and Development Manager explains, “These fully flexible cartridges are the best option for ensuring only mixed tempered water leaves the tap, avoiding scalding. They are specially designed to protect children, elderly people and others with sensitive skin.”
In addition, Caroma and Dorf branded tapware producer gives mixer taps that comes with fully adjustable cartridges with the ability to adjust water flow (Note, this is not suitable for bath mixers). This feature is really a beneficiary when children wash their hands and also it may also reduce the wastage of water flow. Caroma introduce the Plumber’s Handbook App to free download from the iTune or Google play store to know more about the latest products.
