Water Efficiency
The water efficiency is an important characteristic in a shower head and in some states, they must meet strict guidelines. Each manufacturer designs their shower heads to meet these needs by reducing the gallons per minute exiting, while not reducing it’s effectiveness.
Settings
Every manufacturer will offer their own proprietary settings to provide you with the best showering experience. While some will be manufacturer specific, there are standard settings which you will find in most shower heads. These are
- Spray – A more traditional flow of water
- Rain – A simulated water fall flow of water
- Aerate – A air combined flow of water
- Massage – A pulsating flow of water
- Pause – A light or reduced flow of water
Combination
The two-in-one shower heads give you the best of both worlds, with a stylish shower head that easily disassembles to transition into a hand shower. This functional shower fixture saves on the need to install a shower diverter valve and the purchase of a separate hand shower. While easy to install, it offers all the benefits of a multi-head shower.
Rain Shower
On the opposite end of water efficiency is going to be a shower head that replicates the water fall effect. These shower heads are called rain shower and they come in larger sizes to accommodate a greater area of water to be released. They can be matched to the shower fixtures you choose and vary by manufacturer and product lines. You will typically find them in circular, square, or rectangular shapes.
