As an indispensable item for every household, showers will certainly be purchased by many people. So, how to choose a good shower? After purchasing, how to install it, Xiaobian will answer them one by one for everyone.
First, health and safety is of course the primary factor.
Due to the special scope of use of sanitary products, it may even pollute drinking and shower water quality, so developed countries have strict standards for health and safety certification of sanitary products, such as my country’s standard GB/T23447-2009, North American CSA and OSHA certification, etc.
Second, comfort-sensory indicators are very important.
The water pressure and water volume of the shower water have a great influence on the comfort of the shower. The national “Building Water Supply and Drainage Design Code” GBJ15-88 stipulates that the water pressure standard before the shower is 00.25kg/cm2~0.4 kg/cm2, and the standard flow rate is 9 liters/minute. You should try to choose a shower with high water pressure.
Some showers with multiple water outlet methods are more and more humanized in design, and can freely adjust the water outlet methods such as aerobic, rain, surge, torrent, etc., and “bath” as you like, improving the comfort of bathing and the pleasure of bathing.
There are three main ways to install the shower: rain shower high pole set, lifting pole installation and fixed support installation. Lifting rod installation is recommended, which is practical and does not affect comfort. Rain shower high pole sets are luxurious, but a bit of a hassle to maintain.
Third, easy maintenance, anti-fouling, non-clogging.
The hot water in the shower will produce scale inside the shower, so after a period of use, the poor-quality shower will be blocked or the water will not flow smoothly, and it needs to be cleaned. There are a lot of people asking about clogged showers online. If you use descaling agent or even soak with vinegar regularly like in hotels, you can imagine the life of the shower. So it is best to choose a shower head that does not scale and is maintenance-free.
Fourth, save water and energy, help you save money.
The national standard GBJ15-88 stipulates that the flow rate of the shower head is 9 liters per minute, while some shower heads on the market have a flow rate as high as more than 20 liters. Turn on the faucet of the shower, and the water and RMB are rushing away. Energy prices are still rising, and households pay hundreds of yuan in utility bills every month. Buying a water-saving shower can save hundreds of dollars a year. What’s more, low-carbon people are popular now, and the whole country advocates energy conservation and emission reduction.
Fifth, pay attention to appearance and workmanship.
A good shower head has been used for many years, and the appearance is still the same as the new one. The poor shower head will lose its luster soon, which is related to the material and surface treatment process of the shower head. For example, the international standard for chrome plating on the surface is 8 microns, but some small manufacturers only have 2 microns, and the purity of the material is not up to it, and even other heavy metals are mixed in. So you should pay attention to whether the shower has passed the standard certification.
American ETL water-saving shower head, global patented technology. The characteristics are: aerobic skin care, supercharging and stabilizing voltage, water saving and energy saving, never clogged, and the appearance is permanently new.
After purchasing the shower head, it will be installed, so how should it be installed?
The installation height of the shower can be divided into two types according to the type of shower:
The surface-mounted shower head is generally defined by the water surface of the shower, and the distance is preferably 2 meters.
It should be noted that these data are only average data, and the actual installation of the shower should be adjusted according to the height of the user.
The surface-mounted shower switch and the buried water pipe are hot on the left and cold on the right, and the distance between the centers should be 150cm. face at a 90-degree angle.
In addition, the water pressure adjustment of the shower is also a key point: under normal circumstances, the water pressure within 1.5 kg is most suitable for the use of the shower. If the water pressure is too high, the shower will burst, and if the water pressure is too small, the shower cannot be used normally.
