Relax in the bathroom is
usually associated with bathing in the tub full of hot water. Meanwhile, you can also relax in the
shower cabin after a busy day. It
is enough to mount a sprinkler in it, also called a rain shower or a shower
column. In addition to the shower
handset, it also has a top rain head that guarantees a pleasant and
invigorating shower that imitates raindrops falling from above. Its assembly does not have to involve
a major renovation. There are
surface-mounted products available on the market in a fairly simple way. What should you pay attention to when
choosing?
Mounting method
If there are tiles in
the shower cubicle or if there are wall plugs left over from the previous spray
rod, let's look for a sprinkler with an adjustable spacing of fixings. Thanks to this, we have a chance to
match the new product ideally in place of the previous one, without the need to
drill new mounting holes.
The assembly method will
also vary depending on whether we buy a rain shower complete with or without a
battery. In the latter case, we
can connect it with the existing battery with a flexible connection tube.

What's in it?
As a standard, the set
should include a rod, rain head and shower head with a hose, optional battery. In addition, we also have, for
example, models equipped with a soap dish attached to a comfortable height, as
in the case of the Neo Joko Round sprinkler. It
is also worth paying attention to the shower handset. Some models are equipped with a three-
or even five-function handset that allows you to change the stream from
ordinary to strong massaging, water mist and mixed jets. Deciding on a multifunctional handset,
we increase the comfort of bathing and use the beneficial power of
hydromassage. Depending on the
chosen function we have a typical whip massage, good for referring to a
specific body section, e.g. the spine and its surroundings, or a relaxing and
stimulating massage ideal for aching places and tense muscles.

Care
Like all appliances that
come into contact with water, sprinklers are also exposed to limescale. In new models, such as the already
mentioned Neo Joko sprinkler, the problem of clogging nozzles has been solved
by introducing the anti-calc system. All
water outlets in the handset and the rain head are finished with flexible
silicone bands, which just need to be wiped with a finger to crush the
collected stone. This is
particularly useful in homes where hard water is supplied, which precipitates
precipitates very quickly.
Look
The vast majority of
shower stalls available on the market have a silver finish thanks to the chrome
coating. Rain heads can have
different shapes, although the most popular are round and square. The most convenient models are those
in which, like in the Neo sprinklers, the head is movable and not rigidly
attached to the rod. Thanks to
this, we can direct the rain stream at a comfortable angle.
The choice of the size
of the rain head depends on the size of the cabin - a standard diameter of
approx. 20 cm is recommended , in the case of a large shower space
we can choose a head with a diameter of 40
cm or even larger.
Water saving
The time of bathing, but
not only it, decides how much water we use during the use of a shower. An important parameter is also the
so-called water flow class, in
other words the maximum water flow through the sprinkler in a minute. For a comfortable bath while
maintaining a small amount of water, class A - 15 liters per minute is
easy - and we should look for such a sign on the packaging.
If we want to make a
change for the bathroom for the better, but we would rather do it with a small
amount of work and costs, the assembly of the sprinkler is a very good idea. The family will surely appreciate
relaxation in the pouring rain, and at the same time our portfolio will not
suffer too much.
