Bath Spout Series: Why You Should Have A Spout Cover For Your Bathtub

There are a number of advantages to having a tub that has a spout cover. The principal benefit of such spout covers is that they provide protection to small children who could very easily hurt themselves from the uncovered tub spout, as they take a bath.

Another benefit is that it is possible to acquire a spout cover that has been designed to offer some degree of entertainment for your kids and, in the process, make their bath time to be great fun. An extra beneficial usage of the tub spout cover is to give protection to your tub spout and reduce the amount of rust oxidation taking place there.

Covers for the bath spout series have been designed to snugly fit over your bathtub spout, offering safety to the over exuberant child who could accidentally bump their head against the spout. They are available in a series of different designs to suit your needs and design tastes.

Here are the benefits in some more detail:

1. Protects Your Child From Getting Hurt

Writing on public health and safety issues, the Australian & New Zealand Journal of Public Health stresses on the benefit of having a tub spout cover for the safety of your small kids as they use the bathtub.

Tub spouts made of hard material, such as chrome, can cause injury in case the child bumps his/ her head against it. This would not just be painful for your kid, but it could also greatly reduce the child's enthusiasm as bath time approaches. To cut down on the risk of injury, you could install a cover that is soft, protecting your child from those unfortunate and potentially harmful incidences.

2. Designed to be Kid Friendly

Today, it is possible to get covers which have been specifically designed to enhance entertainment for your kid at bath time. These are available in a wide diversity such as animal motifs and inflatable designs. You can also get them in a variety of sizes. Such wide diversity would greatly help your child find some enjoyment while in the tub.

Giving your child an enjoyable bath-time experience shouldn't be taken lightly. In the long-run, you're going to experience less trouble when it comes to convincing the child to get into the bath tub - something that would usually involve a lot of resistance from the kid.

3. Prevent Tub Spout Rust Oxidation

Over time, there is a build-up of lime, calcium and rust that occurs in any tub spout. Using a spout cover reduces the amount of oxygen that mixes with the residual spout water after drawing your bath. Such entry of oxygen leads to oxidation that causes rust, all of which can be simply reduced by having your bath spout covered.

Even as you consider the safety of your child while bathing and preventing oxidation of your tap, you should also select quality, water-efficient spouts for your bath. Fortunately, the government of Australian, in 2005, introduced the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme. Under the WELS scheme, all products using water ought to be tested by a government regulator under standardized laboratory conditions. Therefore ensure your bathtub spout has a WELS watermark of quality.
