Taking a long hot shower when it’s cold outside and a cool one in warmer months is something that can make a long difficult day fade away, but most people don’t truly consider their shower head at all until of course, it breaks or a bathroom refurbishment is planned. Many bathrooms come with a microphone shaped shower head as a standard, but when looking to upgrade you may want to consider a different shape and size for your new shower head. Choosing a shower head can be fun because there are a many models available. Some are larger than others and can offer massaging options or pulsating settings as well as the ones that will make it feel as though the shower is like a strong rainstorm. The size is one aspect to consider, but there is also the shape of the shower head. There is quite a variety there, too. Some shower heads are rectangular, some are round and flat like a plate, some have a wand that can move around or are able to be flexed into different positions. Many retailers will sell a traditional microphone shaped shower head, so buying a new shower head can mean that after the new shower is installed, you switch out the standard smaller one for the larger one that you purchase for about £40 more. Keep the one that came during the install so that if there is a problem, there is a spare one to use right away.
Another reason why your shower head is more important than you think is because it can also contribute to keeping your family healthy. If you filter your drinking water, have you considered filtering the shower water, as well? Most times the water won’t truly hurt you, but there can be harsh chemicals that can contribute to making you sick. There are filtering shower heads that are available to keep chlorine levels down in addition to other potentially harmful chemicals.
Shower heads are an important part of the bathroom not only for the aesthetics, but for the functionality that it can have. Having a relaxing shower that can soothe aching muscles and possibly filter some harmful chemicals out of the water can be a worthy investment. Being choosy about the type of shower head can add a design element to the bathroom and can let you get the shower you’ve been dreaming about.
