Alde Thermostatic Mixing Valve 3 – Caravan Hot Water Safety & Comfort

The Alde Thermostatic Mixing Valve 3 is a genuine Alde accessory designed to improve hot water safety and comfort in caravans and motorhomes by mixing hot and cold water to a controlled, comfortable temperature before it reaches your outlet (e.g., shower or sink).

This valve helps prevent accidental scalding and makes hot water more usable — especially with small tanks (e.g., 10 L) where temperature and flow variations can be tricky.

How It Works

The mixing valve takes hot water from your boiler or tank and cold water from the fresh supply, blending them through an internal thermostatic mechanism so the outlet water stays at a safe, preset temperature.

1. Install it on the hot water line near the shower or tap.

2. Set the desired max temperature using the adjustment (often under a protective cap).

3. The valve mixes incoming hot and cold automatically, giving consistent warm water even if hot supply temperature fluctuates.

4. If cold supply drops, the valve’s cold-cut off prevents dangerously hot water from reaching the outlet.

This not only makes showering and washing safer but also saves hot water, letting you enjoy longer showers from limited tank capacity without burn risk.

Who It’s For

• Caravan and motorhome owners aiming for hot water safety

• Travellers with small hot water tanks or showers

• Anyone concerned about scalding risks or water wastage

Why Buy This Valve?

A thermostatic mixing valve is an essential safety upgrade in leisure vehicles where boiler and tank water temps can vary widely. It provides consistent, safe, comfortable hot water without guesswork — ideal for families, elderly travellers, or anyone wanting peace of mind.
