Size
The size of the overhead shower head supplied in the set (see "Complete set"). For round watering cans, this paragraph indicates the size, for other shapes - the length (the largest of the two main sizes).
The larger the overhead shower - the more space it covers, the easier it is to "fit entirely" under the jets and the higher the throughput can be (see "Water consumption overhead shower"). On the other hand, the cost of a watering can directly depends on the dimensions. As for specific figures, the size
up to 20 cm is relatively small, although such watering cans are very popular due to their availability and low consumption. Models
21 - 25 cm can be classified as medium,
26 - 30 cm - relatively large, and the largest watering cans for the overhead shower have dimensions
of more than 30 cm.
Shape
The shape of a complete watering can of the top shower (see «Type»). From a technical point of view, shape has some influence on shower performance: for example, at the same size (width or diameter)
square upper shower will allow more water than
round shower. However, in practice, the effectiveness of the shower and the sensation of its use are determined by so many different factors that the effect of the shape of the watering on their background is simply lost. Therefore, usually the choice of this parameter is solely due to the aesthetic tastes of the user or the requirements for the design of the bathroom. Therefore, in addition to the round and square form, there are
oval,
rectangular and
non-standard.Tilt angle
The top shower angle is tilted in both directions. Not all models have adjustment, and even those in which it is constructively laid have different angles. By itself
the ability to adjust the inclination angle of the upper shower allows you to adjust the flow of water to the desired side for the needs of a particular user.
Size
The size of the manual or hygienic shower head can be found (cf. «Complete»), which is equipped with a shower system. In fact, it implies the size of the working area - the area on which the nozzles for water supply are located. If this area is round or square, its size is indicated by diameter or width, for other shapes - by length.
Big size allows to cover more space at once; on the other hand, more compact models are more efficient, and cheaper, all other things being equal. And hygienic watering cans, taking into account the specifics of their use, by definition are made
small.
Jet settings
The number of
jet settings provided in the complete manual or hygienic watering can (see "Complete set"). However, hygienic leukemias are usually made
single-mode - this is quite enough considering the application. But in conventional manual waterjets can be several, which allows you to change the characteristics of the jet at the request of the user - for example, instead of the usual thin jets, turn on a hard jet from a single large nozzle or a solid «soft» Flow from water filled with air bubbles. The specific set of settings can be different, it is worth to refine separately. However, in any case, the more options - the wider the choice of the user and the more complicated and more expensive the watering box itself.
Switching settings with button
The feature of the manual shower structure allows you to change the modes not in the traditional way - rotating the switch or switching the lever, but by pressing a button.
Switching the settings of the manual shower with button is much more comfortable, given that in the shower hands are wet and turn the control or switch lever is not always convenient, let alone soapy.
Hose length
The length of hose for the shower head be supplied with a shower system of one type or another (see above). In most modern models, this parameter is about 140 - 160 cm - it is enough that even a tall man could easily rinse completely, from the top. In addition, some hoses can stretch 20-30% of their original length. So in practice, it is worth paying attention to the length of the hose except in special cases - for example, if the system is bought for a very spacious bathroom and you need a shower with an increased «radius of action».
Spout length
The length of the spout characterizes the distance from the rod (in built-in ones from the wall) to the place where the water is poured out, i.e. the actual length of the conventional “spout” of the mixer.
Jet depth
Distance from the wall attachment point to the aerator. It is a characteristic that determines the “reach zone” of the faucet spout.
