Thermostatic Showers and Bath Fittings: Asian Paints BathSense Explained

Anyone who has stepped under a shower that suddenly turns scalding or icy knows why thermostatic mixers exist. The Asian Paints BathSense video above shows a bath fitting range, and this guide explains the idea in simple terms.

What does a thermostatic shower do?

A thermostatic mixer lets you set a temperature and then keeps the water close to it, even if the pressure on the hot or cold side changes. This is helpful in homes where several taps run at once, and for children or older family members.

What your plumbing needs

• Hot and cold supply at suitable pressure; ask us for the maker's recommended range
• A geyser or hot water source that suits the fitting
• Correct pipe connections for concealed or exposed installation
• A plumber who has fitted this type of mixer before

Choosing the shower head

• Rainfall shower: wide, gentle spray for a relaxing wash. See our rainfall showers.
• Hand shower: flexible and practical for cleaning and children. See hand showers.

Pick a finish that lasts

Chrome is easy to match and clean. Gold-tone finishes add a luxurious look, such as the Gold Rush range, while Dimanta offers another style. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, and avoid harsh acids.

Dehradun water

Hill water can carry sediment and, in some areas, be hard. A simple strainer at the supply and an occasional shower head clean-up keeps the flow strong and extends the life of the fittings.

Plan the bathroom as a whole

Choose the fittings before the tiles are finished, so the pipework is in the right place. Our team can help you plan the combination of shower, basin mixer and wall fittings.
