What to look for when choosing

This type of structure is distinguished by the fact that for each node of the system there are increased requirements for reliability and durability, so the price of such options is quite high. To begin, consider what design features should be implemented.

Design features

There are several important criteria:

The shower cascade can be supplemented with a watering can on a flexible hose, this allows you to wash very quickly if necessary.. In some systems, Charcot's douche is additionally present in the form of a panel with several dispensers, the presence of this function allows you to get an excellent anti-cellulite complex right in your home.

For comfortable use, the width of the drop-down stream should be at least 40 cm; consider this indicator when choosing. You should not save and choose narrower options, as they are not very convenient and functional.
It is important that you do not have to adjust the temperature and pressure with your own hands.. Therefore, all high-quality systems are equipped with thermostatic mixers, in which you pre-adjust the indicators of water, and when you turn on, you do not need to waste time on adjustment. It is very convenient and allows you to save not only time but also water.
Since in a second of time about 30 liters of water are poured on a person, an additional drive must be present in the design, to maintain a certain pressure so that the flow is the same throughout the time of use.

Tip! If the pressure in your plumbing leaves much to be desired, then to ensure the performance it is necessary to additionally install a pump for the shower. So you guarantee the quality of the system.

The control panel should be comfortable and understandable., Best of all, if the design is built, and only controls will be located outside. Instructions for the settings is simple, and any person can easily figure it out.

The most technologically advanced options are equipped with a digital scoreboard and touch controls.

Manufacturing materials

It is important that all components are made of reliable materials:

Spout, collection container and other parts of the internal system should be made of stainless steel. This material allows for excellent durability and is not susceptible to corrosion, which is very important when in constant contact with water.
The outer case is often made of acrylic and coated with paint or chrome, here it is important the quality of performance and uniformity of the coating.
The elements of regulation and adjustment are most often made of brass or silumin, they do not have a special load, the main requirement is the high-quality and attractive coating of each element, because they are located in the most prominent place.

There are also cascade mixers for the bath, they can be installed on board the structure, but we recommend choosing wall options - then you, sitting, can enjoy an improvised waterfall.
