Exploitation
It would be possible to list different options for a shower headset for a long time. But it is equally important to know how to use them correctly. The current recommendation that is often overlooked: during the temperature setting it is worth directing the jet down so as not to burn. When water in the shower comes from a boiler, you should plan washing at a certain time. Otherwise, it may turn out that cold water is spoiled in the midst of the procedure.
When purchasing a shower rack with the expulsion carefully examine the instruction manual. Consider the highlights on the example on Tropic LM7004C.

- Water is not colder than +4 and not hot +76 degrees Celsius;

Choice
Shower racks can be made with the calculation of open or internal installation. In the second case, the design looks more accurate and elegant.

In addition, it will be possible to install it only at the initial design of the bathroom or with its overhaul with the substitute for the entire plumbing.
On the forums are often discussed, whether the shower rack needs a separate crane at all. In the shower cabin, it is usually missing. Although with a large size of the cabin, the short is quite empty can be used. But when the ordinary bath is applied, it is better to choose a long emission.
It is curious that in some cases it is appropriate to choose models with spill, but without a mixer. They will be useful if there is already a bath with a separate mixer. Then everything that is required is the presence of a rack switch of modes. Even the designer flaw (external additional hose) is not so significant. Sometimes this hose is laid hidden, and it does not spoil the look.
Speaking about the mixers, it is impossible not to mention those of them that Have a thermostat function. They immediately provide adjustment both to the pressure and water heating. After that, the machine itself controls the mixing of the fluid to maintain the necessary parameters. However, considerable money will have to pay for this decision. Such models are found in the road and premium market segments.
