7 things to consider before buying a shower head

When it comes to creating a luxurious and relaxing bathroom experience, few upgrades are as transformative as installing the right shower head —especially an overhead shower. Adding an overhead shower head to your bathroom can elevate your daily ritual of showering from a bare necessity to a therapeutic experience. Before you make your purchase, there are a few things to keep in mind to help you find the best shower head to meet your needs.

Here are some inquiries to consider:

1. Check the water pressure

Knowing the water pressure inside the home is essential. A lot of overhead shower heads require a minimum level of water pressure for them to perform to their greatest potential. If your water pressure is low, see if certain shower heads are made to operate better under low water pressure, or if your water back system may install a water pressure boosting system to improve your current water pressure level.

2. Consider the size of the shower

The size of the shower head is going to determine the area that is covered by the spray of the shower head, and the amount of water flow out of the shower head. Large shower heads will provide more immersion but may require more water pressure. As the size of the shower increases, be sure your bathrooms water system can sustain the size you purchase to facilitate performance.

3. Appropriate Mounting Style

Overhead shower heads can be either ceiling-mounted or mounted on the wall on an arm extension. While a ceiling-mounted shower may grab attention and provide a true rainfall experience, it will also require substantial plumbing work. It is usually much easier to deal with wall-mounted shower heads, which can be the best solution for a lot of bathrooms.

4. Spray Options

Many of today’s shower heads can provide a variety of spray settings to enhance your shower experience. The MILA Flo Shower Head, for example, has four functions Rain/Massage/Spray/Mix, to customize your shower to your preference.

5. Material and Finish

The durability and beauty of the shower head is related to the material and finish of the shower head. For instance, the MILA Premier Matte Black Shower Head has an ABS surface with a matte black finish, which is of great value and has good design. 

6. Consider Ease of Installation

Some shower heads are easier to install, meaning you can upgrade your bathroom without hiring a professional. Whatever model you decide to purchase, be sure the style will match your plumbing to avoid hassles during installation.

7. Create a Realistic Budget

Shower heads come at different price points, so it can be tempting to pick the cheapest option- but you won’t always be happy with the performance or longevity. For example, you can purchase the MILA AquaPulse Shower Head for Rs. 839.30, which has all functions you need and is well-constructed for the price.

Keep in mind all of these considerations including water pressure, size, mount type, spray functions, quality, installation, and budget when choosing the right overhead shower head for your purchases. With these considerations, you can upgrade your bathroom with a shower head that you will love; with the luxury you are after and a highly functional, practical design.
