My Experience With Delta Monitor Shower Faucet Operation
As someone who loves taking long and relaxing showers, having a reliable and easy-to-use shower faucet is a must. That’s why I decided to upgrade to the Delta Monitor Shower Faucet. It has been a game changer for me, and I want to share my experience and knowledge about its operation with you.
Delta Monitor Shower Faucet Operation
The Delta Monitor Shower Faucet is designed to maintain a consistent water temperature and prevent sudden temperature changes, which can be dangerous. It has a pressure-balancing valve that adjusts to fluctuations in water pressure, ensuring a consistent flow of water.
To operate the Delta Monitor Shower Faucet, you first need to turn the handle counterclockwise to turn on the water. The handle rotates smoothly and is easy to grip, even with soapy or wet hands. You can then adjust the water temperature by rotating the handle left or right. The temperature is indicated on the handle, which makes it easy to find your preferred temperature setting.
If you want to switch from the showerhead to the tub spout, you need to lift the diverter knob, which is located on the spout. The water will then flow from the spout instead of the showerhead.
