Rules for choosing a shower system
Not everyone has experience in choosing plumbing, so before buying, try to learn as much as possible about the shower systems and listen to reviews from friends so as not to repeat their mistakes. To choose the right plumbing for the bathroom, you need to pay special attention to the following points:
- Type of watering can: it can be in the form of a rectangle, square or circle. Its diameter can vary from six to forty centimeters, and the height of the system ranges from 90-200 cm. The best option is to combine a height of about 1.2 m and a diameter of 15-20 cm, the watering can should also be equipped with a regulator that allows you to operate in several modes (for example, the water jet can be of the type of rain, massage, narrowly directed).
- Material of which the system is made: each element is made of different materials. Their quality matters.
- Built-in functions: to improve the functionality of the shower system and its relevance allow additional properties, such as saving water consumption or various operating modes of the watering can.
As for the materials of which the system is made, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- For the production of the mixer and overhead shower, it is preferable to use chrome-plated brass or stainless steel. These materials provide the gloss of plumbing, its durability and resist corrosion. The only problem is the formation of limescale on the surface, which greatly spoils the appearance.
- The shower hose can be made of metal, plastic with shockproof properties, or of silicone trimmed with a metal insert. The latter option is the most durable and reliable, but the high cost does not allow everyone to purchase such a system.
- The holes in the shower head are finished with rubberized nozzles. This allows you to easily clean them from plaque and resist its appearance.
- For comfortable operation, shower systems with overhead shower are supplied with cartridges made of ceramic.
If the choice was made taking into account the main parameters, then the acquired plumbing will work uninterruptedly for many years and please its owners.
