Rain shower in your home

Nothing brings us closer to nature than warm summer rain with its elastic jets. Our children, with all their spontaneity, just love to play in the rain. Relatively recently, a new trend of plumbing appeared under the common name of a tropical shower, which, according to marketing experts, is capable of conveying the atmosphere of a tropical rain.

Specialists of our site have disassembled most of the most popular models in detail. Consultations with doctors and designers have made their adjustments.

Now we can say with full responsibility that a rain shower is definitely a good thing, but before you buy it, decide which option is right for you. We, on our part, will tell about the existing units.

What are the advantages of the system?

Tropical shower - what is it and how justified is such a device in our apartments? This question is involuntarily asked by any normal person, having learned that the price of such systems varies between medium and high.

What are the main differences

The shower is a tropical downpour, is one of the varieties of the upper shower systems. The first thing that catches your eye is the huge size of the dividers, the water in which is evenly distributed over the entire area of ​​the watering can. Moreover, the flow force in the extreme holes will be the same as in the center.

In addition, a good half of these devices are equipped with built-in spot lighting, which is based on the divider itself and can change color depending on temperature and water pressure.

Moreover, there are models with built-in acoustic and aerosol systems that transmit the sounds and smells of the rainforest. Due to this, the whole process of ablution acquires a special touch of mystery.

Important: dividers can be installed in different places and at different angles. But the shower system with a tropical shower located horizontally under the ceiling best of all conveys the effect of a shower evenly distributing drops over the entire area.

Healing effect

The theory that walking in the rain has a beneficial effect on human health, has been around for a long time. The older generation, which fully appreciated the charm of sanatorium rehabilitation, well remembers how in almost every medical institution of this type the complex treatment with water procedures was used.

A rain shower in a bathroom or a rain shower with a rain shower is almost the same, only in your home. The only difference is that modern models are more sophisticated. They also added an acoustic component and odor delivery system.

The beneficial effect of this type of diffusers lies in the fact that the water is saturated with air before it reaches the body. Such jets, regardless of pressure, gently massage and enrich the skin with oxygen.

Due to this, fatigue is removed and there is a feeling of lightness throughout the body. And together with the smells and the corresponding music, the so-called hormones of happiness, endorphins, are being actively developed.

In addition to the traditional hygienic component of the process, a person receives a number of additional procedures during bathing.

• Practically everyone knows about the benefits of massage in general and hydromassage in particular. But if the jets in the jacuzzi use a directed, point jet, then the tropical system has a beneficial effect on the entire body, raising the overall tone and strengthening the body.
• Who among us does not like to relax in a warm bath? A shower - a tropical rain has at times a great relaxing effect.
• Due to the subconscious liberation of the muscular system, tension from the joints and clips of intervertebral disks. Regular water procedures of the similar plan will allow to forget about such a disease as osteochondrosis.

• The blood supply to all organs improves.
• Above it was already mentioned about the saturation of the body with oxygen through the skin. The same process has a beneficial effect on the work of the heart muscle, strengthening the entire cardiovascular system.

Modern science is just beginning to study the effects of light and smell on the general condition of the body.

At the moment, there are few accurate laboratory studies in this area, but the following facts are reliably known:

• Red light can not only annoy, but also give vigor. Such a morning shower will provide energy for the whole day.
• Green is the best way to promote positive attitude and concentration on a specific goal.
• The activity of the immune system increases significantly if it is wise to use yellow light.
• Blue is considered the color of solitude and cold, sober thinking.
• Pink and orange in different proportions contribute to the rapid relief of stress.

The practical side of the issue

First, we will reveal the secret of the work of such dividers. By itself, a large area of ​​the active part of the divider does not give the desired effect.

Simply put, if you take a large jar, drill small holes in it and send a stream of water, there will be little confusion. Water will still be distributed unevenly.

The whole secret lies in the effect of aeration, that is, the saturation of the liquid with air. It is achieved thanks to several layers of a small metal mesh. Conventional kitchen faucets work on the same principle when an aerator with grids is wound onto the spout.

Important: strange as it may sound, but despite the large area of ​​the watering can, due to the presence of an aerator, water consumption in such systems is no more than that of traditional showers. Plus, if silver threads are woven into the aerator network, the healing effect of such a soul will increase many times.

Varieties of systems

Shower panels with rain showers, originally designed for stand-alone booths. But over time, manufacturers began to produce such structures separately. As a result, sales have increased significantly, because such a panel is easy to install with your own hands, thanks to which you get summer rain in your own bathroom.

To do this, in addition to the panel itself, you will need to mount a glass screen or rigid sliding shower curtains. The relative disadvantage here is the high price. But then on one continuous panel you will see the knobs of the mixer, side hydromassage jets, as well as the system for programming light and sound.

Shower stall with a rain shower is essentially a budget version of the panel. It can be mounted in an open way or hidden with decorative cladding. If it is simpler to say, this is a rigid pipe, on which, horizontally under the ceiling, a tropical divider is mounted.

Shower column with rain shower, is considered the most affordable option. By and large, it is distinguished from traditional systems only by the presence of a special large-diameter divider. As well as in an ordinary shower, a pipe is installed with a removable holder for a watering can. You can mount it both on the wall and on the ceiling, as long as the length of the flexible hose is enough.

Important: except for panel systems, all other models are equipped with standard mixers that can be found in any decent plumbing shop.

Possibility of self-assembly

Before you make a tropical shower with your own hands, it is important to determine the type of system. The most time consuming installation is rack. The shower panel, although it is much more expensive, is attached to the instruction and most often it is rigid enough to fix it on the wall and connect water to it.

An open rack is also easy to install. In principle, the pipe rack, like the panel, is rigidly fixed on the wall and ceiling. After that, water is connected to it and the divider is hung.

Theoretically hidden wiring is not difficult to do, but you have to pierce the grooves across the width of the pipe. Moreover, the wiring to the mixer and to the divider are made separately.

As already mentioned, the most affordable option is a rain shower with a rain shower. At the moment there is an opportunity to separately buy a special divider with a long flexible hose and install it on a standard mixer. Then you will need to fix the column itself in a convenient place and use it.

Important: the light addition to such systems works autonomously. This is largely due to the high price of models. Figuratively speaking, a small hydroelectric power station is built into the watering can. When you turn on the water, the turbine begins to rotate and the energy generated is enough to power the LEDs and the thermostat.

Conclusion

A tropical shower, unlike traditional plumbing, is not only an excellent bathing system. With it, you can strengthen the health of your family and raise your own tone.
