Last month we talked about the various types of showerheads. And while selecting the right type of showerhead is very important, there are other factors as well. Here are a few things to consider when buying a showerhead.
- Since you spend as much as two days a year in the shower over the course of a year, you want an enjoyable experience (in addition to getting clean). So, check out things like water flow and the height of the showerhead.
- Spray settings. What spray pattern do you like? Mist? Rain? Massage? There are numerous choices. Make sure you have spray patterns to satisfy all members of your household.
- Water pressure. You don’t want too much pressure, but you also don’t want too little. Make sure whatever you install provides the right amount of pressure for you.
- There are numerous materials to choose from:
- Plastic is the most common. Plastic showerheads will not get hot, so they are good for handheld fixtures.
- Brass is durable and comes in a multitude of darker finishes.
- Bronze is also durable and is available in numerous darker finishes.
- Chrome is affordable and easy to clean.
- Nickel does not scratch or tarnish, comes in a variety of finishes, and is easy to clean.
- Last, but not least, is the price. As you can see, with this wide variety of options, you can spend as little as a few bucks, or $1,000 or more. Just one more piece of the puzzle.
