Showerheads are household products that must be used every day. In the early years, most people had no concept or requirements on the quality of shower heads, as long as they could take a bath with water. But in today’s high-frequency and high-pressure life, after a busy day, compared to the shower with weak water and simple appearance, you can take a warm hot bath under the shower with comfortable water and excellent appearance. And what a happy thing it is. Therefore, more and more people pay more and more attention to the quality, function and appearance of the shower. It is necessary to have a good shower at home.
Hand showers, as the name suggests, are hand-held showers, connected with hoses, and installed on the shower rack. Most people use hand-held showers at home.
1. The most basic thing is that the water pressure is sufficient, the number of water outlets is sufficient and uniform, and the water flow is smooth.
Many people think that the water pressure in the shower is only related to the pressure of the water supply system, but in fact the water pressure is also affected by the number and diameter of the shower outlet. The same water supply pressure, the more delicate and subtle the overall water outlet of the shower is, the stronger the pressure of the water column sprayed from each diameter.
Similarly, when the shower has been used for a long time and some water outlets are blocked due to scale, it will also affect the water pressure of the spray. For example, the water column of some water outlets is thick and soft, and the water column of some water outlets is slender but tingling, so taking a bath is not so comfortable.
Although everyone has different preferences for water pressure, in general, I recommend choosing a shower with a large number of water outlets and a small diameter. The large number of water outlet holes means that more water columns are generated and the coverage is wider. Whether in winter or summer, the water temperature can cover the body; and the small diameter can keep each water outlet hole at a certain pressure, resulting in a comfortable water flow.
The smoothness of the water flow is affected by the internal structure of the shower head. Some shower heads have structural faults inside, and the water flow cannot pass through evenly, and the water from the shower head will become “pulse”, which is very uncomfortable. In order to improve the smoothness of the water flow, some showers will also add a magnetic pad to the structure, which plays the role of delicate water quality.
2. A shower with filtering ability is better
my country’s national standard tap water implements the GB5749-2006B standard, which stipulates that the amount of chlorine added is ≥ 0.3mg/L, which is to prevent the breeding of bacteria and fungi in tap water. However, the residual chlorine in tap water will be absorbed by the skin, or inhaled into the respiratory tract when bathing, which will irritate the respiratory tract and skin over time. At the same time, the water supply pipes of some “senior” communities may have corrosion problems, and the reservoirs of the community may be polluted by algae and bacteria. Therefore, if the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to choose a shower with filtering ability.
According to personal needs, you can choose the one with essential oil and fragrance function.
Some showers currently have essential oil or fragrance function. You can add a nutrition box or a fragrance box to the shower, and you can take care of it or attach it while taking a bath. Fragrance, suitable for couples or young ladies.
4. In terms of water outlet function: You may have a misunderstanding in this regard. You may think that the more water outlet functions, the better, but the truth is that the more functions and the more complex the structure, the more difficult it is to take into account the effects of each splash, which ultimately leads to more functions, but the more the effect of the splash is. In general, there are no more than 3 common functions in practice, so there are not many water outlet methods, and a single function may be too simple. Generally, there are 3 water outlet functions to meet the bathing needs of most family members.
Therefore, it is recommended that these two combinations can be used for the shower water function: 1. Shower water, pulsed water, mixed water 2. Shower water, massage water, mixed water. The traditional switching method of shower head is to toggle switch, but in the process of bathing, this method is more troublesome to operate with one hand. The advantage of the traditional toggle switch is that the structure is simple and the technology is mature, and it is not easy to fail. With the upgrade of the product, the pressing switching technology is now very stable, and the switching method of the multi-functional shower head is recommended to choose the pressing switching, which can be easily switched with one hand.
