As an important sanitary ware in the bathroom, the shower is now available in various styles. The uniquely shaped shower is also deeply loved by young friends. In fact, the choice of shower is not based on its style, but should be considered comprehensively in combination with various performances. Next, let’s take a look at the tips for choosing a shower.
The faucet determines the quality
When purchasing, in addition to the price, most consumers only value the shape of the shower head, and choose whichever one they think looks good. In fact, it is the unassuming faucet under the shower head that requires the most careful selection. It directly determines the quality and service life of the shower head. Most of the shower heads can be replaced. If you don’t like the shower head that comes with the faucet, you can usually change it alone, but the faucet cannot be replaced. Therefore, it is recommended to choose the faucet as the main choice.
From the function of use, the shower faucet is divided into bathtub type and shower type. If the faucet has a water outlet, it is a shower for the bathtub, and consumers can choose according to the situation. Some faucets have two handles, such as the left hand for hot water and the right hand for cold water. This kind of logo is clear and easy to use, which is more suitable for the elderly or children. The shape of the single handle is relatively good-looking, and the hot and cold water can be adjusted left and right. It is easy to operate, but it needs to be used carefully to avoid burning.
shower column height
The bathroom ceiling height and your height determine the shower height. Under normal circumstances, the distance between the faucet and the ground is 70-80 cm, the height of the shower column is 1.1 meters, the length of the joint between the faucet and the shower column is 10-20 cm, and the height of the shower head from the ground is 2.1-2.2 meters. size of space. When purchasing a shower head, you need to consider whether the height of the shower column is suitable for the height of the suspended ceiling. Generally speaking, the shower column connected by the turnbuckle cannot be cut, and the height of the shower column connected by the gasket can be cut. However, if you need to adjust the height, it is best to confirm with the salesperson whether it is feasible to avoid accidents. There are also height-adjustable shower columns on the market, which makes it easy to adjust the height of the shower according to your height.
Coated spool determines comfort
Generally speaking, the brighter and more delicate the surface of the shower head, the better the coating process. A good spool is made of ceramics with extremely high hardness, which is smooth and wear-resistant, and prevents running, emitting, dripping and leaking. Consumers must try to twist the switch by themselves. If the hand feel is poor, it is best not to buy this kind of shower. .
In addition, shower accessories will directly affect the comfort of its use, and special attention is also required. For example, whether the water pipe and the lifting rod are flexible, what is the bending resistance of the shower hose and steel wire, whether there is an anti-twisting ball bearing at the shower connection, whether there is a rotation controller on the lifting rod, etc.
Silicone head
The shower head is divided into two materials: metal and silicone. The metal shower head has a variety of shapes and is beautiful, but the silicone shower head is more convenient to clean, because in the case of mild blockage, you can squeeze or use a needle to clear the silicone water hole. . In addition, if you observe carefully, you can also see that the water outlet of some shower heads is exposed, which is easier to clean.
The size of the water outlet hole and the direction of rotation of the shower head determine whether it is misty water or concentrated water. There is not much difference between the two, and the choice is mainly based on your preference. For the hand shower next to it, most of the round showers can adjust the water output, but the “microphone” shower cannot adjust the water output.
The above is the introduction of the tips for purchasing showers. There are two types of shower nozzles on the market, one is made of hard material, and the dirt can only be removed with a cleaning needle when cleaning. There is also a soft material, usually silicone, which can remove dirt by hand. The latter is recommended. However, because the quality and grade of silica gel are different, you should ask carefully when purchasing.
