How to Buy the Right Shower Spray for Your Showers
With the construction of more advancely engineered showers, the shower sprays follow suit just as quick. There are simply so many choices available nowadays that when you go to the nearest hardware store to purchase a new shower spray, you become confused with all the options. There's the "Soft Touch Personal Spray Kit" for your wife and then there's the colorful "Happy Hippo Bath Spray" made for gently rinsing babies. What exactly do you choose? Here's a small guide to helping you decide.
Firstly, find out what you want your shower spray to do for you. In other words, how do you want them to function and what kind of features do you wish for them to have? Three typical spray makes are: the showerhead, the handheld and the bodyspray. The conventional shower head which is fixed in one position is probably more common in older bathrooms. It usually has two or more adjustable spray styles and the water direction can also be altered. The second mentioned form of shower spray is the handheld. Probably the most popular kind in contemporary showers today, the handheld shower spray is the most versatile. It has a hose connection that makes it movable from the mount that it is attached to. It can be installed to the shower wall and has two or more adjustable spray styles. The final make of shower sprays is the body spray. This trend is typically found in luxury jetted and steam showers. It consists of spray valves along the length of your shower wall that are arranged to spray the body from head to toe. It's a great way to relieve muscle tension while allowing you to de-stress in the best way possible.
After you have chosen a type of shower spray, now you should move on to thinking about another function: the spray style. Spray styles accomodate different modes of showering that may be unique to certain individuals. With bathroom showers making the move towards being a leisurely space, shower heads have to provide that comfort with the multitude of options. As of now, shower sprays come in six main styles: wide, wide strong spray, wide pulsing spray, full-flow, concentrated pulsing spray, and mixed spray. The wide, soft aerated spray is perfect for a light refreshing shower. The wide strong spray and the full-flow spray are ideal for the deep cleaning you would need after coming home from a session of extreme sports. Your body is covered in dirt and sweat so you want the kind of spray that will rid all of that grime. The wide and concentrated pulsing sprays are optimal for those times you just want an all-over body massage. You can either have a light massage scanning your whole body or you can concentrate it on one specific area.
Finally, you should decide the aesthetics of your shower spray to complete the package. Shower sprays come in a great variety of finishes--much like the one faucets do. They can be polished in nickel, chrome, brass, bronze, gold, white, etc. Once you get all of these picked out, you will be miles closer to where you were before and hopefully you can now walk out of the shower store with the shower spray that is perfect for you.
