Best Shower Heads

A couple of years ago, Moen company decided to conduct a survey about the daily ritual of taking a shower. Let us save you a click - here are the most interesting of them:

• Normally, taking a shower goes for about 13 minutes. However, almost every respondent wished that they could stay in the shower for 5 minutes longer.
• On average, Americans have a shower 6.7 times a week.
• 58% respondents prefer taking it in the morning.
• Against a popular opinion, men take shower more often than the opposite sex: 7 vs. 6.4 times a week. This is mostly due to the fact that women prefer having a bath instead.
• 67% answered that in a shower they usually contemplate about their relationships, families or simple house chores like: 'I should really mow that lawn'.
• People don’t wash their head each time - only 5.7 times per week.

In order to have a couple of dry towels always at hand next to the shower cubicle, you can buy a Moen towel bar. You can find a bar with a similar style as the showerhead model above. The 18" bar would be wide enough to hang a couple of folded towels on it. It's worth mentioning that their towel bars come with a special template and a mounting hardware for easy installation.

Most people tend to feel more comfortable when the water in the shower is hot or at least warm. But for centuries humans have occasionally swum in near-freezing ponds and rivers. And even the doctors often recommend alternating hot and cold streams for having the positive health effects. Here are just some of them:

• Immunity system boost. Your body has some sort of exercise by going through the hot and cold streams in a short period of time. As a result, it develops a better resistance to the cold temperatures where bacteria and viruses usually thrive. Reportedly, this decreases the chances of catching a cold, pneumonia and numerous other diseases.
• Cheering you up. Especially after morning showers. This not just wakes your body up but lifts spirits for the whole day.
• Weight loss. Surprisingly, taking a hot and cold shower accelerates human metabolism, thereby your body effectively burns more calories in fat deposits. It also improves the skin elasticity.

Please note: do not rush yourself by taking a shower in the ice-cold water. Start by gradually lowering the temperature to the one you feel more comfortable with – this will make the adaptation process less stressful. Give your body some time before you lower the temperature more. And pretty soon you will notice a lot of positive results.

If you are looking for more bathroom wares like this, take a look at KES L6711 bathroom faucets. They will become a great addition to the shower head by DreamSpa from above due to the similar squarish design. Its base and the handle have a smooth scratch-resistant shiny chrome finish, and the faucet itself is made of high-quality brass - this will guarantee many-years flawless performance of the whole unit.

Today, you can get a water flowing out of the tap just by turning the handle. Of course, that wasn’t that easy in the past. The waterfalls were the obvious prototypes of the showers as we see them today. The fact is that the flowing liquid cleans the body more effectively than bathing in a still water as it is gradually getting dirty and requires being refreshed. Even now, it’s recommended to quickly rinse yourself in a shower before having a bath.

The evidence shows that the noblemen among ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians have had servants and slaves pour the water over them. Of course, it’s hard to name that a shower which we think of today. Therefore, the title of the first true inventors of the whole water-supplying system belongs the ancient Greeks. They’ve made the showers available for the masses in places that were called Thermae. After that, the process of delivering water to the end users has been constantly modernized up to the way that we have it nowadays.

You must admit that keeping a bathroom tidy and clean can be a tedious task. All the sprayed drops and water stains on the wet floor. Urgh! That's why we can recommend getting a shower curtain for the bath. What's more, you can also buy a squeegee for quickly wiping the waterdrops and condensed steam from the tiles, glass, and mirrors.

More than a century ago, in 1869, a small plumbing store was opened by Allen and Joseph Speakman in Wilmington, DE. In 1906, they took out their first patent on a special faucet design. In 1927 they created their branded Anystream Shower Head. Throughout the last quarter of the 20th century, the company has been actively collaborating with such chains as Hilton and Sheraton. We tell you this because there are high chances that you’ve already used the Speakman products if you ever stayed at a hotel or a motel not just in the USA but anywhere on our planet. Their showerheads may come at varying prices but always retain the highest quality. That is why this product takes its rightful place in our Reasonable Price category.

Some bathrooms can keep a high humidity level no matter what kind of ventilation system you have. In this case, you need an active device like a dehumidifier. It collects the water from the air and effectively prevents the growth of the mildew and other unfriendly bacteria. Most of the models are usually very quiet, power-efficient, and automatically turn off when their water tank is full.

Seriously, the speaker here is surprisingly crisp and loud. That is why the music will not drown in the sound of the falling drops hitting the bottom of the bath. The speaker is attached to the showerhead in a quick turning motion and securely fixed there with a magnetic holder. Obviously, it is totally waterproof and safe to use in the shower. While turned on, it can be hooked up to a phone via Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR interface that allows you to place a mobile at up to 33 ft. away. The built-in battery life depends on the sound volume and works from around 8 up to 11.5 hours. To recharge the battery, take the speaker out and connect a MicroUSB cable (included) to the port, hidden behind the silicone insert. Moreover, it has 2 noise-dampening microphones. Now, you can take the phone calls by pressing a push-to-talk button without even coming out of the bath or turning the water off. A neat feature if your friends are calling to ask where you are, and you just tell them that you are already on your way to the party. After all, the H2oVibe showerhead provides a user with the means to mix pleasure with even more pleasure by taking a shower and listening to the music at the same time.

If your tap water is not too good or even smells bad, you might need a shower head with a built-in water filter. Thus, check out the review of the best shower filters on our website.
