Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent danger due to careless discharge of hot water at high temperature by adjusting temperature of hot water with a signal from a temperature setting device, and driving a mixing device controlling discharge of hot water and stop of water with a non-contact sensor so as to actuate the sensor only at ordinary using temperature. CONSTITUTION:A controller 32 is provided, which adjusts the temperature of hot water due to a signal from a temperature setting device 29 and a signal from a temperature detector 24 and drives a hot and cold water mixing device 22 due to a signal from a non-contact sensor provided on the extreme end of a discharge water port 27. The controller 32 is constituted so that hot water is not discharged even if a hand is inserted under the sensor 28 when the setting temperature of the setting device 29 is higher than the ordinary using temperature. Furthermore, when hot water of high temperature is required, it is discharged by manual operation of a switch 30. Even if high temperature is carelessly set, the sensor 28 is set not to actuate. Hereby, scald due to high temperature hot water can be prevented.
