1. Prioritize core functional experience
Water output mode: Choose single mode or multi-mode based on your needs. The rain shower style is suitable for daily cleaning; the massage pulse mode can relieve muscle fatigue and is suitable for office workers; the mixed mode (such as rain shower + local boost) takes into account the needs of the whole family, such as families with elderly members can focus on gentle water output, while young people may prefer strong water flow.
Constant temperature performance: If the water pressure in your home is unstable (such as in high-rise buildings or old communities), a constant temperature shower head is a must-have. High-quality constant temperature valve cores (such as imported ceramic valve cores) can balance cold and hot water within 0.5 seconds, avoiding sudden temperature changes that cause burns, especially suitable for families with children or the elderly. Pay attention to choosing models with a high-temperature limit lock (usually 40-49°C), which offers better safety.
Water saving and boost: Look at the water efficiency grade (1st grade is the most water-saving) and technical design. Shower heads equipped with "air injection technology" can mix air with water flow, reducing water output by 20%-30% while maintaining water flow fullness; the boost function is suitable for low water pressure households, by reducing the water outlet diameter to increase water flow impact, but be aware that excessive boost may lead to increased water noise.
2. Material determines durability and texture
Main body material: Opt for copper main body (especially the valve core part), which is corrosion-resistant and has slow heat conduction, avoiding plastic main bodies that may age and leak over time. You can judge by weight and color, high-quality copper feels heavier and has a smooth surface after chrome treatment without burrs.
Shower head panel: ABS engineering plastic is lightweight and durable, with good cost-effectiveness; stainless steel panels have high hardness and are not prone to scratches, but are heavier; silicone water outlets are easier to clean, just rub them with your hands to remove water scale, especially suitable for areas with hard water.
Shower hose: Choose stainless steel braided hose, with an EPDM rubber inner tube inside, resistant to bending, high temperature, and less prone to burst or leakage. Pay attention to whether the interface has a non-tangling design (such as a spherical joint), to avoid knotting when using.
3. Adapt to household installation conditions
Installation method: Hidden installation shower heads are aesthetically pleasing and save space, but require pre-drilling pipes during renovation, suitable for new houses; exposed installation shower heads are flexible, only requiring an outlet on the wall, suitable for renovation of old houses. Ceiling shower heads (such as 200mm-400mm) need to be combined with the bathroom space, compact models are suitable for small bathrooms to avoid bumping heads, while large bathrooms can be paired with large top spray to enhance the immersive experience.
Water pressure adaptation: Low water pressure (<0.5MPa) households should avoid oversized top sprays, prioritize handheld shower heads with boost function; high water pressure (>0.8MPa) requires confirming whether the shower head has a stabilizing device to prevent water flow from being too strong and causing splashing or noise.
Interface specification: Most shower heads in China have a G1/2 inch universal specification, but some imported brands may have differences. Before purchasing, confirm the size of the water outlet in your home or choose a model with a conversion joint.
4. Enhancing usage experience
Operational convenience: Handheld shower heads with button switching are more force-saving than rotating adjustment, especially suitable for the elderly; top sprays have angle adjustment function, which can be adapted to users of different heights.
Additional features: A storage platform is convenient for placing shampoo and body wash, especially suitable for small bathroom spaces; models with LED temperature display (such as blue light below 36°C and red light above 42°C) can intuitively determine water temperature, enhancing safety.
Brand and after-sales: Prioritize well-known brands (such as Hansgrohe, Grohe, Kohler, etc.), their core components such as valve cores and seals have more reliable quality, and most offer 5 years or more warranty, providing better maintenance security. In summary, when choosing a shower head, one should consider the water supply conditions (water pressure and quality), the composition of family members (whether there are elderly or children), and the size of the bathroom space. A balance must be struck between functionality, material, and budget to select a product that is both practical and durable.http://ttps://www.toilet-fittings.com/videos-53763558-new-model-filter-for-chlorine-removal-antibacterial-heavy-metal-decomposition-anti-blocking-and-pres.html
