How to choose a shower head?
Shower heads are something you use every day during bath time, so you need to be selective about the shower head you choose. First, we will introduce three perspectives on selecting a shower head.
How to choose a shower head (1) “It is best to choose a type based on what is important to you.
There are many types of shower heads. There are four main types: water-saving types, high water pressure types, water purification types, and microbubble types, so it is recommended that you choose the type that is most important to you. The market price for the water-saving type starts at around 3,000 yen, while the beauty type starts at around 10,000 yen at the lowest. It should be noted that only the water purification type requires replacement of cartridges, which will cost more in running costs.
How to choose a shower head (2) “If you use it by hand, be sure to check its weight!
A typical shower head weighs about 200~300 grams, but the water pressure puts a strain on the handle during shower use, so it may feel heavier than it actually is. Also, the better the function, the heavier it tends to be. If you hang a shower head on a shower hook, you do not need to be concerned about its weight, but if you often use it by hand, it is recommended that you choose a shower head that balances weight and functionality.
How to choose a shower head (3) “If it has an extra function, your bath time will be more comfortable.
If the shower hook has extra functions, such as a “hand-held stop function” that helps conserve water and a “water volume switch function” that allows you to adjust the shower’s intensity, your bath time will definitely be more comfortable. If water pressure is important to you, we recommend the jet stream mode. If you are focusing on beauty, we recommend the mist mode, which provides excellent water contact with the skin, or the head spa mode, which specializes in scalp cleansing.
Before buying a shower head, be sure to check if it can be installed.
To avoid wasting time and money buying a shower head only to return it because you can’t install it, be sure to check if it can be installed. Check the manufacturer of the hose and find out if the shower head you plan to buy can be connected. Some manufacturers allow you to use an adapter even if the threads do not match, but be aware that even a small gap can cause water leakage. If the shower head and hose are integrated, it is OK to replace the hose as well.
