How to choose a shower?

How to choose a shower? Shower belongs to bathroom products, and bathroom products are an important part of home. In fact, there are many brands on the market that we can know. Different brands have certain differences, and many people are at a loss when choosing. How to choose a shower is as follows.

How to choose a shower 1 1 to see the water? When choosing, the shower nozzle is inclined to come out of the water. If it is observed that the amount of water discharged from the spray holes at the top of the shower head is obviously small or even absent, it generally means that the internal design of the shower head is general, and even if such a shower head has various drainage methods such as lasing and spraying, it may not be able to get a good experience in the use process.

2. Look at the nozzle. The nozzle is the key to whether the shower head is easy to clean. The blockage of shower outlet is often caused by the accumulation of impurities in the net cover. If the shower nozzle is used for a long time, it is easy to produce scale. If not cleaned in time, some spray holes may be blocked. In order to avoid the blockage of the water outlet caused by poor water quality, well-designed shower nozzles often protrude outward for easy cleaning, or the nozzles are made of silica gel. When cleaning, you can easily brush off the scale deposited on the nozzle with a rag or hand.

Some showers also have the function of automatic descaling, so you can experience more and consult more when purchasing showers.

3. Look at the coating and the valve core. In general, the brighter and more delicate the shower surface, the better the coating process. A good valve core is made of ceramics with extremely high hardness, which is smooth and wear-resistant and not easy to leak, so be sure to turn the switch when you buy it. If it feels bad, this shower is not recommended.

4. Look at the water-saving function. Water saving is the key point to be considered when purchasing shower heads. Some showers adopt steel ball valve core and are equipped with hot water regulating controller, which can regulate the hot water to flow into the mixing tank and make the hot water flow out quickly and accurately. This reasonably designed sprinkler saves water by 50% compared with ordinary sprinklers.

The multi-stage function of the shower head is mainly to adjust the water outlet through different water outlet holes, so as to achieve the effect of saving water. The new water shower head can turn water into thousands of tiny water particles like raindrops. The most prominent water-saving method of single nozzle is fully concentrated water column, which can effectively wash, but can automatically reduce the water consumption of each nozzle.

5. Look at the accessories. Shower accessories will directly affect their comfort, so pay special attention when buying. For example, whether the water pipe and lifting rod are flexible, how to use steel wire to resist bending of the hose of the shower, whether the joint of the shower is equipped with anti-twisting ball bearings, and whether the lifting rod is equipped with a rotation controller.

How to choose what material the shower 2 shower is made of?

1, materials and technology

The most common shower heads on the market are made of three materials, namely ABS engineering plastics, copper and stainless steel, as shown in the following figure.

ABS engineering plastic shower heads occupy more than 80% of the market share, and all the showers we see in specialty stores are made of this material. The advantages of ABS plastic shower head are various styles and shapes, and it can be equipped with multiple water blocking functions, which is very practical. There are few styles of copper showers, generally only a few. Modeling with copper is not as convenient as plastic, and the cost is high, which limits the development of copper shower. Ordinary copper shower has only one water outlet function.

There are few styles of stainless steel showers, which are as difficult to shape as copper showers. Most stainless steel showers also have only one drainage method. One advantage of stainless steel shower is that it can be made very large, and some can be more than one meter long and more than one meter wide. The large overhead showers we see in baths or high-end hotels are basically stainless steel.

2. Types and uses

Showers are generally divided into three types according to their uses, namely hand-held shower, overhead shower and side shower, as shown in the following figure.

The most common ones are hand-held showers and overhead showers. Hand-held showers are small in size, and there are also multi-stage showers with single function. I believe everyone is familiar with this. When you take a shower, you can take it down and wash all parts of your body with a shower. Overhead showers are generally installed in a higher position and come out vertically. The size of the overhead shower is relatively large. Ordinary overhead showers on the market are all 8 inches, and there are more than 9 inches, 65,438+00 inches, and even more than one meter long and one meter wide.

Bathing under the shower overhead is another shower experience. Side shower is rare. This kind of shower head is used to match some complicated shower systems. The shower is fixed on the wall, spraying water from the side, adjusting the angle and washing and massaging the whole body.

3. Water outlet mode of shower head

In order to achieve better shower effect, people invented various shower heads, multi-functional hand-held shower heads, which can change the splash of water by shifting gears. Some large overhead showers are also equipped with a variety of water outlet methods. At present, there are five kinds of popular water outlet methods in the market: natural water, bubble water, massage water, spray water and waterfall water.

Natural water, as its name implies, is the water sprayed naturally. Without any treatment, natural water is sprayed from the silica gel hole of the shower head. Water itself has a certain pressure, which can wash the whole body. Is the most common spray, as shown in the figure below.

Bubble water is to inject air into the water flow, which is what we often call gas injection technology. Please refer to my other question for the specific principle. What is the difference between Mohn, Gao Yi and Hans Goya's shower gas injection technology? -Answers from users in Zhihu-Zhihu).

Bubble water is an air tank in the water channel inside the shower. The high-speed water flow drives the airflow to mix to form a water column, which turns the originally sprayed water into a drop of water. Bubble water is full, soft and round, and it remains in the body after rushing through the body. Small bubbles keep bursting, bringing coolness. Because air is injected into the bubble water, it can also achieve the purpose of saving water. The following figure

The massage water concentrates the water flow to the massage water hole, and there is a rotatable rotor in the massage hole, which drives the rotor to rotate at high speed in the shower under the impact of the water flow, and pulse water is generated by cutting off part of the water flow with frequency. This kind of splashing water has a massage effect on the body, so it is called massage water. The following figure

Spray water because the spray holes on the panel are specially designed, and the water will be sprayed out in the form of water mist after passing through. Being in the water mist has a large area, which can bring a different experience to the shower, as shown below.

Waterfall water is called incredible, flowing like a waterfall. Its main principle is to change the water outlet hole into a strip, and the water is sprayed into a strip from the original fine hole. Standing below is like the feeling of natural waterfall water flowing downwards, as shown below.

In addition to the above water outlet modes, some showers also have mixed water outlet modes, such as natural water mixed with massage water, foam water mixed with spray water and so on.

4. The development of shower.

After decades of development, the shower has gradually developed from meeting basic needs to design. Some shower heads have high value besides their basic functions. Let's take a look at several high-value showers.

German bathroom brands, we are familiar with Hans Geyer, Gaoyi, Contemporary, Lufthansa, Braun and so on. In addition to these, there is a very high-end bathroom brand called Ke Devin Lu, 1926, which started out and currently has six factories in Europe, except two factories in Germany and Menden headquarters in Germany.

We also have our own factories in Austria, Hungary and Poland. All factories follow the same manufacturing standards to ensure the high quality requirements of all parts and finished products. At present, there are no factories in China and their products are rarely seen. Krudi has a kind of shower called FIZZ series, which has a high value, as shown below.

Corudi FIZZ series shower head's unparalleled fan-shaped shape combined with soft streamline brings original white fashion to the bathing space. The unique design keeps the water flow strong, and the combination of polished chrome parts and white shower chassis establishes a brand-new design trend: fresh, clean and clear. Each sector module of FIZZ series shower can adjust the direction independently, and the formed shower has strong water coverage, so the shower can be completely placed in it.

Nordic design has been well received in China market in recent years, and its beautiful lines, classic design and simple style are presented in various products. In Denmark, there is a bathroom brand called VOLA, which has a high status in Denmark. The brand was founded in 1973 and is said to be one of the founders of Nordic minimalism. They insist on the belief that happiness with few things is the real wealth. This brand has a shower with a high value, as shown below.

VOLA's shower line design is simple, and the shower material has different configurations, including chrome alloy and stainless steel. The circular nozzle radiates 8 water columns to the periphery based on the center, and each water column has 12 water outlet points. Exquisite outlet design makes the shower smooth and powerful.

Speaking of shower design, one brand that has to be mentioned is Methven bathroom in New Zealand. A few years ago, when Hans Geyer proposed air inhalation technology, Meisheng also proposed Satinjet double water spraying technology, which can also make the shower drip.

(Please refer to the answer for details. What is the difference between Mohn, Gao Yi and Hans Gea's shower gas injection technology? -Answers from users in Zhihu-Zhihu). Meisheng said that Satinje technology is the fourth generation, and now it has developed to the fifth generation Aurajet technology, which is embodied in a shower called aio of Meisheng, as shown below.

Satinjet, the fourth generation technology of Meisheng, achieves the effect of dripping water through the collision of two holes and two water columns. The fifth generation technology, Aurajet, is not the collision of water column, but the collision of circular water curtain, which can make water droplets finer. It is said that the spraying pressure can be increased by 20% and the coverage area can be doubled.

How to Choose Shower 3 Shower Material Selection

1, plastic material; Plastic material, water outlet hole is silica gel. When the solar water heater is used for a long time, it will scale and block the water outlet. If it is silica gel, you only need to squeeze the water outlet by hand to remove the scale stuck in the hole, and the performance, strength and heat resistance of the plastic shower are very good.

2, stainless steel; Stainless steel showers were common a few years ago, but they have been rare in recent years. His advantages are wear resistance, rust prevention and affordable price. Its disadvantage is that the shower head made of stainless steel is relatively simple in style. A lot of workmanship is also in place.

3. Aluminum alloy, aluminum-magnesium alloy; The advantages of aluminum alloy and aluminum-magnesium alloy are that they are not afraid of wear, light and durable. The disadvantage is that it may get dark if used for a long time. It should be equipped in shape and color.

4. Copper plating; Hollow copper chromium plating (mostly round rod, thick square rod is also common): hollow copper shower advantages: many styles, moderate price. Disadvantages: Afraid of wear, good electroplating will fall off in a humid environment all the year round, and the electroplating layer is thin, so it won't take long for electroplating to fall off. Easy to deform, normal manufacturers generally do not have this problem! But the pipes used by some manufacturers are relatively thick at first glance.

5. All-copper solid chromium plating (generally a square tube, and some specially twist a few flowers at both ends of the rod to prove that it is solid): All-copper shower advantages: fine workmanship, thick electroplating layer, durability. Disadvantages: the price is high and the style is not so empty.

Generally speaking, the advantage of plastic material is that it is affordable, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to deform when heated. Generally speaking, there are several kinds of metal showers, such as copper, stainless steel, aluminum, alloy and plastic. After choosing a good style and color, you must first choose the product material. The second is to look at the coating.

Advantages of shower heads made of various materials

1, stainless steel shower: stainless steel surface will never rust, beautiful and durable, easy to clean, lead-free, and compound environmental protection concept.

Plastic shower: light weight, no heavy metal, more scald-proof, multi-functional.

3, copper shower: durable, high temperature resistance, fall resistance and other characteristics, and copper shower is equipped with rubber water outlet to prevent clogging, easy to clean, and copper shower is convenient to install, long-term use, no security risks.
