Choosing the Right Shower Head

Choosing the Right Shower Head


If there’s one thing everyone looks forward to on a sleepy morning or late night, it’s a refreshing shower. You can find a revitalizing shower head on just about any budget. The plumbing experts at CityWIDE can help recommend or install any variety of shower head or bathroom fixture. Consider the following types of shower heads to see what works best for your needs:

Handheld Shower Heads

Handheld shower heads offer a great deal of variety and flexibility for your shower. The head is often attached to a wall fixture and has great movement flexibility. This option also often offers a sliding bar that caters to homes with people of varying heights. There are countless handheld shower heads on the market with heads that can be adjusted and manipulated to provide high or low water pressure and other custom settings.

Rain Shower Heads

This option is perfect for someone hoping to replicate the feeling of standing in a rain show. The head is installed directly above you and causes water to softly fall. It’s not ideal for smaller showers or for those who prefer more water pressure.

Aeration Shower Heads

This is likely the most expensive option, but can offer some great money-saving opportunities on your water bill. Aeration shower heads pair air with water steam to increase density and flow. This creates less humidity and uses less water – ideal for humid climates. Aeration does cool the water so this option is not best for those that prefer very hot showers.

It’s important that you have a shower head installed correctly to avoid future leaks that can result in extensive water damage in your walls. Regardless of what shower head you choose, the plumbing experts at CityWIDE can install or repair any bathroom fixture.
