Keeping the bath safe with Delta.

It's happened to everyone-you're enjoying your shower when suddenly the water temperature becomes unbelievably hot or cold. It's an uncomfortable experience and every year dangerous water temperature fluctuations cause injuries in the shower. Delta has a safety solution to prevent your loved ones from experiencing a hot water scalding or thermal shock -- the Delta Monitor Series Scald-Guard valve.

When a toilet or a house appliance, such as dishwasher or washing machine, is in use in conjunction with the shower, it can disrupt the water flow, resulting in a surge of hot or cold water to the shower. With Delta's scald-guard valve, there is no need to worry about sudden water temperature changes because the valve compensates for the water temperature change by adjusting the shower handle, maintaining the water temperature within three degrees Fahrenheit. This enables your family to have an enjoyable and safe showering experience. For a demonstration of the scald guard valve visit www.deltafaucet.com

To ensure maximum shower safety, Delta offers these steps when installing your Scald-Guard valve:

• Ensure your hot water heater is set at 120 degrees or below.
• Set the valve's high-temperature limit control to prevent the temperature handle from being turned to dangerously hot levels.
• Test the water with your hand before bathing.
