Thermostatic Mixing Valve for an Outdoor Dog Wash in Exmouth

A homeowner on Plumb Park in Exmouth wanted an easier way to wash the dog after the beach. Rinsing off salt water and sand with a freezing cold hose isn’t fun for anyone.

What we did

  • Fitted a thermostatic mixing valve on the hot and cold supplies.
  • Connected it to the outdoor hose outlet.
  • Tested it and set a safe, comfortable temperature.

Now the hose runs warm, at a controlled temperature that can’t scald. A small job, but one that gets used every day.

We do plenty of small plumbing jobs like this: outside hot and cold taps, garden taps and pipework changes. See plumbing and work in Exmouth.
