With 100 years of experience in bathroom production, Toto is the earliest manufacturer of ceramic sanitary ware in Japan, and the popularization of the modern bathroom concept in Japan is also due to Toto's contributions. Today, in Japan's bathroom sector, Toto firmly controls 70% of the market share, and its sales in Chinese mainland exceeded 60 billion yen in 2015. Ceramic products are the main force of the East Tao ace, but in the shower shower is also very competitive, its first shower appeared in 1946, its thermostatic mixing valve products have been on the market in 1962, and as early as 1981 is the mass production of ceramic spool, which is the core component of the shower valve.
Different from Hansgrohe, Dongtao's innovation is reflected in the process and technology, its thermostatic valve spool abandons the traditional paraffin material, and uses SAM memory metal coil to strengthen the stability of temperature control, when the temperature of the water source changes, the response speed of the thermostatic valve is 6 times faster than that of traditional paraffin products. In addition to having a vortex water outlet similar to Hansgrohe, Dongtao's rain temperature water outlet method is also very distinctive, different from the traditional jet water outlet, this method appropriately reduces the dynamic pressure of the water outlet of the shower head, and in exchange for the increase in flow, the coarse water column in the laminar flow state can reduce the heat loss at the same time, but also improve the water flow close to the skin, closer to the bathtub bathing experience. Of course, its air massage water also has a good effect, it is closer to "sparkling water", but the water flow has a pulsing effect, and it performs well in terms of water saving and comfort.
Compared with other brands, Dongtao showers lack double and triple water sets, and are more sold separately for hand-held showers and top shower columns. The TBW01303B of the G series is a thermostatic top spray column, the upper limit of the outlet temperature of the thermostatic valve is about 40°C, and the valve will automatically close when it is higher than this temperature, which is in line with the national standard. The water outlet mode of the sprinkler is the rain temperature type and phantom rain swirl water mentioned above, which is switched by keying, and the diameter of the sprinkler is also 220mm, which can bring super comfortable enjoyment, but consumers should note that the water temperature of the solar water heater often exceeds 85°C, and this high temperature will consume the life of the thermostatic valve core, so the thermostatic shower is not suitable for solar water heaters. There are similar product TBW01002B, but the difference with the TBW01303B is that the valve is replaced with a copper ceramic spool, and the price of first-line e-commerce is about 2,000 yuan.
