The styles of shower heads on the market are becoming more and more new, and they are replaced very quickly. Especially the functions are getting stronger and stronger. So when consumers are shopping, how do they know what kind of shower is most suitable for their home and the best? Today, the editor will share with you what kind of shower head spray material is the best, and how to choose a good shower head.
Which shower head spray material is better?
Brass shower head, why is copper shower head better? The stainless steel shower head is welded inside and is easy to use for a long time. Surface rust, water leakage, etc. may occur. Copper can effectively resist bacteria, so that the skin will not be damaged when water comes out. At present, international first-line sanitary ware brands all use showerheads made of all copper. Copper materials can be divided into 52, 55, 59 and 62 copper. The world's top bathroom brand, Hansgrohe uses 62 copper as its raw material, but the price of a shower head ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands, which is not suitable for ordinary people's consumption. "Tao's bathroom" is made of 59 copper material. As far as I know, Kohler, Zhongyu, etc. The top ten brands of shower heads all use 59 copper as raw materials. If you encounter a shower head seller who tells you that his shower head uses 62 copper and the price is several hundred yuan, 99% of them are liars. 1 is a fool.
How to choose a good showerhead
First, health and safety are of course the primary factors
Due to the special scope of use of bathroom products, they may even pollute Drinking and shower water quality, so developed countries have strict standards for health and safety certification of bathroom products, such as my country's standard GB/T23447-2009, North America's CSA and OSHA certification, etc.
Second, comfort-sensory indicators are very important
The water pressure and water volume of the shower head have a great impact on the comfort of the shower. The national "Building Water Supply and Drainage Design Code" GBJ15-88 stipulates that the water pressure standard before the shower is 00.25kg/cm2~0.4kg/cm2, and the standard flow rate is 9 liters/minute. You should try to choose a shower head with high water pressure.
Some showerheads with multiple water discharge methods are becoming more and more user-friendly in design. You can adjust the water discharge methods such as aerobic type, rain type, surge type, torrent type, etc. at will, and "bath" as you like. ", improve the comfort and pleasure of bathing.
There are three main ways to install shower heads: rain-type high pole set, lift pole installation and fixed support installation. It is recommended to install the lifting rod type, which is practical and does not affect the comfort. Rain shower high pole sets are luxurious, but maintenance is a bit troublesome.
Third, it is easy to maintain, anti-scaling and non-clogging
The hot water in the shower will produce scale inside the shower head, so after a period of use of a poor-quality shower head, it will It is clogged or the water flow is not smooth and needs to be cleaned. There are many people asking about clogged showerheads online. If you use descaling agent or even vinegar soaking regularly like in hotels, you can imagine the life of the shower head. Therefore, it is best to choose a scale-free and maintenance-free shower head.
Fourth, save water and energy, help you save money
The national standard GBJ15-88 stipulates that the flow rate of shower heads is 9 liters/minute, while some shower heads on the market have a flow rate of 9 liters/minute. Up to more than 20 liters. When you turn on the shower faucet, what flows out is water and RMB. Energy prices are still rising, and households pay hundreds of yuan in utility bills every month. By purchasing a water-saving shower head, you can save hundreds of dollars a year. What's more, low-carbon people are now popular, and energy conservation and emission reduction are advocated across the country.
Fifth, pay attention to appearance and workmanship
A good showerhead will still look like new after being used for many years, while a poor showerhead will lose its luster quickly, which is different from the showerhead. The material is related to the surface treatment process. For example, the international standard for surface chrome plating is 8 microns, but some small manufacturers only have 2 microns, and the purity of the material is not up to par, and it is even mixed with other heavy metals and other materials. Therefore, you should pay attention to whether the shower head has passed the standard certification.
