Pros and Cons of a Rain Showerhead

A soothing and gentle shower every morning, or right after a long tiring day can help you keep relaxed and rejuvenated. If you are looking for a shower upgrade to improve the shower experience, consider installing a rain shower head. They are quickly becoming the first choice for modern bathrooms as they offer a rain-like showering experience by creating a steady water flow through several tiny holes. They can either be mounted from the wall or the ceiling. A plumbing company can help you with its proper installation. 

Pros

Rain shower heads are larger and wider than a regular shower head and usually available in a square or rectangular shape. Here are some of the positives of installing a rain shower head:

Aesthetic design

Having a rain shower head in a bathroom will give it a classy and sophisticated spa-like feel. Its stylish design and chrome finish will surely attract many eyes. It will add value to the bathroom and looks much more expensive and luxurious than it is.

Coverage

A rain shower head offers full even coverage and won’t require you to adjust the positions to let the water flow on all body parts. All you have to do is stand and relax, and it will do the rest. It also allows us to alter the spray pattern and water pressure levels as per need during the shower.

Relaxing

The best advantage of having a rain shower head is the incredibly soothing and relaxing feel they offer. Whether you want to feel energized in the morning to set the mood for the day, or looking to de-stress and relax after a long tiring day at work, a rain shower head will never fail you. It relaxes the muscles, detoxifies the skin, and rejuvenates the body. Consider installing a multi-function rain shower head to experience the best of hydrotherapy.  

Advanced features

They come with settings that allow you to adjust the temperature and flow and pressure of water. You can find advanced features like LED lighting, multiple spray settings, refreshing massage, superior designs, and finishes in the more upscale models. 

Easy to clean

Rain shower heads come with rubberized nozzles that are anti-clog, and easy to clean. Just wipe the nozzle with a soft cloth to remove any dirt.

Saves water

Many of the rain shower head models come with water-saving features. Also, the even supply of water on the body allows us to complete the shower in less time, thereby saving water—but only if the showerer doesn’t linger.

Cons

No appliance or fixture is perfect, nor is a rain shower head. Here are some of the drawbacks that might force you to reconsider the decisions of installing one in the bathroom:

Cost

One of the primary drawbacks of rain shower heads is that they are quite expensive. While the low-end versions may cost a few hundred dollars, you will have to spend thousands of dollars for the high-end ones. 

Not for rented apartments

The design of rain shower heads requires it to be installed at a 90-degree angle, making them a problematic addition to a rental bathroom.
