So, what kind of shower accessories exist?

Example # 1: Lake

It is this part that directly performs the function of the shower, spraying water in the form of a pleasant rain or concentrating it in several dense jets.

The following types of watering can be distinguished:

  1. For the upper shower. Here it is immediately worth noting two types of device, depending on the mount:
Mount type Description
Ceiling In this case, the divider is located under the ceiling. Connection to the mixer is carried out at the expense of the pipe laid and hidden in the wall. Mobility is minimal, removal during operation is impossible.
Wall Mounted on the wall and has two connection options:
  • With the help of a metal rod tube. In this case, the sprayer for the shower also remains non-removable and has low mobility.
  • With a flexible hose. Here, the watering can can be fixed on a special holder in a comfortable position or taken with your own hands, which provides additional opportunities in the process of receiving water procedures. In particular, this possibility is important when using hydromassage nozzles.
Shower Hose with Flexible Hose
  1. "Tropical shower". This is a peculiar kind of ceiling mount, it only has a large circular or rectangular area and is equipped with a number of nozzles that create the effect of rain. This type of water treatment is not only pleasant, but also useful.

Tip: when installing a "tropical shower", make sure that the distance between him and the highest user is at least twenty centimeters. Otherwise, the drops will not have time to dissipate properly and the effect will be lost.

  1. Backlit. The uniqueness of these devices lies in the fact that for their full functioning does not require connection to the electrical network. Installed inside a special generator due to the movement of water flows ensures the operation of the built-in LEDs. Thus, the possibility of electric shock is completely excluded. In addition, the use of different colors affects human perception in different ways:
Colour Impact
Red Stimulates and tones
Green Increases mental alertness
Blue Relaxes
Shower Divider can have different backlighting options.
  1. With aeration. Shower aerator allows you to reduce the chlorine content in water and saturate it with oxygen, which makes it much more “softer” and safer. For residents of multi-storey buildings, such functions are very important, as excessively chlorinated liquid that is supplied through the urban water supply systems causes significant damage to the skin, hair and mucous membranes of humans.

  1. Economical. In the age of global economy, it is sometimes possible to think about purchasing a divider with an integrated tumbler that allows you to adjust the intensity of the flow of outgoing water, which will allow you to use it more efficiently.

When choosing a suitable watering can, it is equally important to consider the material from which it is made. The most common today are brass and plastic, the features of which are outlined in the following table:

Material pros Minuses
Plastic
  • Low price;
  • A light weight
  • Low resistance to mechanical damage;
  • Unprecedented appearance, which is solved by chrome plating, but it is short-lived
Brass
  • High strength characteristics;
  •  Durability;
  • Aesthetics
  • Relatively high cost

Example 2: boom

Metal shower rack

If you use a watering can with a flexible hose, then you can not do without the rod, which allows you to conveniently fix it at the required height using a special holder. The rest of the rack can be supplemented with a soap box, a towel holder, a cup for toothbrushes, or another device that allows you to make the operation of the shower more comfortable.

Hand shower allows you to change the position of the diffuser

There is also a specific instruction on how to properly set the height of the watering can holder:

  • If the user has one shower, then the divider should be installed at a distance of twenty centimeters from his head.
  • If the bathroom is used by several people, then try to find such a compromise of the position of the scatterer, so that it would rise at least a few centimeters above the head of the tallest tenant and be within reach of the extended hand for the lowest.
  • If there are children in the family, then you should not try to fit the fixed position of the watering can under them, because, firstly, there will still be too large a gap with the optimum height for an adult, and secondly, they will quickly grow and you will often have a shower reinstall Better get a model with a flexible hose.

Example 3: tap-shower switch

Shower deviator is needed to switch water from the mixer to the watering can.

According to the method of operation is divided into two types:

  • Flag. Mode change is carried out by turning a small lever.
Flap with flag switch
  • Exhaust. In this case, the flow is redirected by pushing the handle, which is then fixed by the pressure of the water and returns to its place after its disappearance.

These devices are made of brass, then coated with chrome for aesthetics.

Tip: if you use different nozzles, then in order to save thread life and to perform the process of unscrewing and tightening less, it is recommended to install the deviator in front of the spout, orienting it to two watering cans. So you can use different dividers due to a simple switch.

Example 4: Ring Illumination Lamp

Fluorescent round lamp for shower

A special fluorescent lamp in the form of a ring will make it possible to create pleasant and efficient lighting even in those boxes in which it is not provided. It is installed under the roof of the structure, is powered by the cab power supply unit and is switched on from its control panel.

Technical details:

  • Production material - glass.
  • Diameter - 245-275 mm.
  • Power consumption - 12 V.

Example 5: baby hat bezel

Comfortable baby shower visor

This elementary adaptation is simply amazing in its effectiveness. After all, anyone who has ever bathed a small child or, perhaps, has his own memories of this action, knows perfectly well how children react to the shampoo that has fallen into their eyes or even ordinary water.

Attempting to use special tools that supposedly “do not pinch the eyes” is not crowned with success, but the bezel under consideration, which leaves the back of the head free and reliably covers the eyes from the flow of liquids, does an excellent job.

Thus, with the help of such a simple product you will not only make the adoption of water procedures for your baby a pleasant pastime, but also save your own nerve cells from destruction.

It is noteworthy that the size of the visor is adjustable, so one purchase will be enough for your child for several years.

Example 6: organizer

Aesthetic shower organizer

What can be in the family bathroom of at least three people?

The list is actually impressive, here are just some of the most needed items:

  • soap;
  • gels;
  • shampoos for different hair types;
  • balms;
  • creams;
Part of what is in the usual average family shower
  • shaving accessories;
  • toys;
  • toothbrushes and toothpaste;
  • hairpins;
  • towels;
  • washcloths.

If there is a stand in your soul, then you can place a part of the above attributes on it. But if the watering can goes straight out of the wall or ceiling, then the task becomes more problematic. This is where organizers come to the rescue, which, as a rule, represent from two to four shelves interconnected and having fastening elements in the form of suckers or hooks.

Such devices are conveniently fixed at arm's length and have an attractive appearance that only adds aesthetics to the overall design of your soul. In them you can place everything that you use in the process of receiving water procedures.

Example 7: Radio

Radio for the shower running on the water

Of course, taking water treatments to your favorite music is much more pleasant than to the murmur of a water stream. But electrical appliances are not compatible with water. Excessive humidity will threaten not only them, but also you, especially if you use a common network with a deadly 220 W voltage for a wet person.

We have already considered watering cans with illumination above, which works due to the water flow, and so, there are radio receivers working on the same principle. They crash into a water supply pipe, water drives a special turbine connected to a small generator, and its power is quite enough to retransmit radio waves caught.

Connected to the radio tube

Technical details:

  • The voltage generated by the generator is 3.5 V at a water pressure of 2.5 atmospheres and 2.4 V at a pressure of 1.6 atmospheres.
  • The frequency range is 87.5-108 MHz.
  • Power speaker - 0.8 watts.

Example 8: hydromassage

Even if the hydromassage function is not initially provided in your soul, it can be implemented in one of two ways additionally:

  1. Dos Alekseev. It is a nozzle of an unusual design, in which the nozzles are wide at the entrance and taper at the exit. Due to this, the water is pulled out under increased pressure and creates a massage effect, allowing you to effectively deal with obesity, cellulite, varicose veins, wrinkles, simply fatigue and many other chronic and temporary diseases.

  1. Underwater massage. Requires a few more capacious and expensive equipment, which is a circulation pump. It is installed next to the bathroom, the inlet hose is immersed in water, and the output hose is taken in hand and sent to different parts of the body.
