Rules for choosing a shower system
Not everyone has experience in choosing plumbing, so before buying, they try to learn as much as possible about shower systems and listen to the reviews of friends so as not to repeat their mistakes. To choose the right sanitary ware 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 a combination of 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, a jet of water can beby type of rain, massage, narrowly targeted).
- Material from which the system is made: each element is made from different materials. Their quality matters.
- Built-in functions: to improve the functionality of the shower system and its relevance allow additional features, such as saving water consumption or different modes of operation of the watering can.
With regard to the materials of which the system is made, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- For the production of a faucet and an overhead shower, it is preferable to use chrome-plated brass or stainless steel. These materials provide sanitary ware shine, durability and resist corrosion. The only problem is the formation of limescale on the surface, which spoils the appearance.
- The shower hose can be made of metal, impact-resistant plastic, or silicone finished 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 shower heads are finished with rubber nozzles. This makes it easy to clean them from plaque and resist its appearance.
- For comfortable operation, overhead shower systems are supplied with ceramic cartridges.
If the choice was made taking into account the basic parameters, then the purchased plumbing will work smoothly and delight its owners for many years.
