This product is Vanward's exclusive patented heat exchange platform heat exchanger, which employs a three-pipe zero-cold-water system with an additional independent return pipe to perfectly separate hot and cold water, ensuring that the water flow is not mixed and the water output is large. It is also isolated from the daily home water system to prevent water volume attenuation, assuring the reliability and continuity of hot water supply. It delivers consistent and comfortable hot water in situations like as bathing, cooking, and washing, making it truly suitable for the entire family. The general style is influenced by ink wash painting, which showcases its creative attractiveness while also expressing the inheritance of traditional culture. In terms of color, it is based on the primary colors of ink wash painting: black, white, and grey, generating a light and profound mood through contrasts in depth and intensity. The design employs ink wash painting lines and brushstrokes to create a distinctive "ink texture" impression using various brushstroke treatments such as virtual and real, thick and thin, fast and slow, presenting a distinct feeling of rhythm. In terms of artistry, platinum glitter is employed, which can shimmer in the sunlight and create a sensation of agility. The control button is the product's design core, with the central button featuring an electroplated CD ring ("Energy Gathering Ring") that allows for a "one-click" efficient start of zero cold water and toggling between usage modes. Simultaneously, it features a portable small dot bath controller, APP/voice smart control, and other interactive methods, allowing users to control various information and functions at any time and simply change their bathing experience. Whether mounted indoors or on an outside wall, customers can enjoy clever and convenient operation that improves the shower experience.
