How to find the perfect Kingston Brass showerhead

The shower is probably one of the most important parts of the bathroom, and choosing a showerhead to accompany is essential. The shower has always been viewed as a place of relaxation–to get cleaned up and refreshed. To assist with this process, a varied number of showerheads offer different functions or a wider area of water coverage. Although daunting at first, choosing the perfect showerhead can do a lot for your showering experience.

Standard fixed wall-mounted showerhead

Hand-held shower

Compared to the standard showerhead, the hand-held offers more freedom and designed help clean hard to reach spots. Handheld shower heads can be mounted in three different ways

• Sliding Bar – Probably the most popular way of attaching it as it gives you the freedom to move the location of the hand shower up or down within a range of 24″. It is great for families with children of different ages or seniors.
• Wall Bracket – Some of these wall brackets are adjustable, giving you the option of changing the angle.
• Shower arm – The handheld shower replaces the fixed showerhead and it is attached via an adjustable fitting that threads to the shower arm. It allows you to change the angle much in the same way as a shower head does.

Body sprays

Aerating showerhead

• Save water with the aerating showerhead. How? This showerhead uses a combination of air and water to minimize water usage, but also retaining the same power found in traditional showerheads.

Spray Patterns

• Saturating and Soft Massage Spray (Rain) – these type showers do not pressurize the stream of water and you get mostly a gravity type of water pattern, somewhat reminiscent to a watering can type of effect.
• Massage and Saturing Massage Spray (Full Spray) – The water is pressurized to give you a mildly vigorous spray pattern; this is what most people prefer for showering.
• Pulsating Massage Spray – As the name implies, this setting gives you a very vigorous spray in a thumping kind of action. Great for relaxing those aching muscles after a workout.
• Combination – In some showerheads you are able to combine two of the functions into a setting that gives you an entirely different pattern.
• Adjustable – These type do not give you definite setting, they do allow you to adjust the width and force of the spray to your satisfaction.

With showerheads, it’s inevitable that dirt and other gunk gets trapped inside. Fortunately, Kingston Brass showerheads are easy to clean thanks to the rubber spray nozzles on the face of the shower head, which can be cleaned with a swipe of a finger. Aside from the showerheads listed, there are many more that have not been mentioned.
