At first impression, the old-school kind of shower head may meet all your shower needs. However, hand held showers go beyond what the standard kind is capable of giving. If you prefer a stationary shower, you just have to hang the handheld shower on its wall attachment. For more flexibility, you can simply remove the handheld shower from its wall base and use it as you please.
Handheld showers also have adjustment mechanisms to provide you with a wide variety of shower jets ranging from a soft flow to a powerful spray that feels like a massage. Another good thing about this kind of bathroom apparatus is that it is removable. Just
lift it off and you could spray any part of your body. Probably the greatest edge handheld showers have over the fixed kind is that you could properly spray and clean those areas which are hard to reach.
Handheld showers can help you save money and energy
As far as energy and water consumption is concerned, a handheld shower is also more cost-efficient. For the standard shower head, more water is used when you are putting on soap and are rinsing off soap or shampoo suds. Because the water coming from a handheld shower is nearer to the skin, the water would not have enough time to cool off, resulting in smaller heating costs. There are also hand held showers that come with a water filter, which would get rid of most of the chlorine. It is no secret that regular exposure to chlorine could dry out the skin and hair.
There are also handheld showers which have their own water pressure. This built-in pressuring feature adds more oxygen into the water, which would help you save up on water consumption. Water with oxygen makes for faster cell growth, further cleaning of the skin, and better blood circulation. Keep in mind though that the more features handheld showers have, the more expensive they can get.
The best of both worlds
What if you want a handheld while your partner insists on a fixed shower? The solution is a dual-head fixture that’s now out in the market. It has a traditional fixture and also a handheld one. Using this kind of shower head, you could use just one shower head or two shower heads together. This type of shower offers you and your family more options for a more relaxing shower experience.
