What kind of shower head is good?

1. The material of the shower head. There are many materials for shower heads, including half copper, full copper, stainless steel, and alloy. For ordinary people, full copper is enough. Half copper can be used in ordinary hotels, but the quality is poor, and the quality of full copper is average. If you have good financial conditions, you can choose stainless steel and alloy, which have a longer service life.

2. Judging the quality of shower heads. How to measure the quality of shower heads? In the second article, we mentioned that shower heads are made of many materials. For example, copper ones are very heavy. Therefore, the first way to judge the quality of shower heads is to measure them based on their own weight. The second way is to look at the brand. Learn about the brand concepts of shower heads on the Internet before making a judgment. You can also judge by the flexibility and firmness of the shower faucet switch and the water outlet of the shower head.

3. Prepare the bathroom for installation before buying a shower. Before choosing a shower, you need to prepare the water connection in the bathroom, and then do it after the floor and walls of the bathroom are decorated, and the water and electricity are completed. Plan the height, range and installation location of the shower in advance.

How to choose a shower head

1. Spray effect: Even if they look similar, different shower heads have completely different spray effects. Shower heads may look similar in shape, but you must consider their spray effects when choosing. A good quality shower head will have even spray from each tiny nozzle, and can achieve a refreshing shower effect at different water pressures.

2. Material: Generally, the outer surface of the shower head is best treated with multiple electroplating processes. When selecting, you can look at its glossiness and smoothness. A bright and smooth shower head indicates that the coating is uniform and the quality is good. Only such a shower faucet is durable.

3. Valve core: The valve core affects the feeling and service life of the shower. A good shower uses a ceramic valve core, which is smooth and frictionless. When selecting, you can turn the switch manually. A comfortable and smooth feel can ensure that the product maintains smooth and reliable performance during use.

4. Accessories: Shower accessories will directly affect the comfort of its use, and special attention should be paid to them. For example, whether the water pipe and lifting rod are flexible enough, how is the bending resistance of the shower hose and steel wire, whether there is an anti-twisting ball bearing at the shower connection, and whether there is a rotation controller on the lifting rod.

How to maintain the shower head

1. The mesh size of the filter gasket should not be too large or too fine. If it is too large, it may not be able to filter impurities, and if it is too fine, it may affect the water flow rate. The filter size should be 40-60 mesh.

2. Do not use strong acid when removing scale to avoid corrosion to the surface of the shower head.

3. Please do not forcibly disassemble the shower head for maintenance. Improper disassembly will cause damage to the product appearance and internal structure.

4. The ambient temperature of the shower head should not exceed 70 degrees Celsius. High temperature and ultraviolet light will greatly accelerate the aging of the shower head and shorten its service life. Therefore, the shower head should be installed as far away from electrical heat sources such as bathroom heaters as possible.
