One of the characteristics of a modern bathroom is using a shower. This sanitary equipment is not only considered a bathroom accessory or complement, but is the right choice to support comfort when bathing.
When compared to a bathtub, maintaining a shower doesn't cost much. In fact, installation is even easier. Using a shower is also a small step for us to save water in the surrounding environment.
A shower is the right choice if the size of your bathroom is not too large or minimalist. In general, showers are divided into two types, namely hand showers and head showers. However, as time goes by, there are many innovations that can be made, including the presence of faucet spouts and jet washers which are part of the latest shower designs.

If you are going to use a shower, you need to be careful in choosing it. Because choosing a shower does not only focus on its function, but also on the features it has.
The main component of a bathroom shower is the water spray itself. It may seem trivial, but the spray plays an important role in being a signal that the shower is functioning properly. Apart from cleaning the body, the shower also acts as a means of massage and relaxation.
There are various types of bathroom showers available in the market. The prices also vary, according to the type and features they have. Some of them also have a button to control the water jet that comes out.
So, what types of bathroom showers do you need to know about?

As the name suggests, a bathtub shower is installed near the bathroom bathtub. Usually, there are two inputs or types of water flow, namely hot water flow by turning the tap lever to the left and cold water by turning the water tap lever to the right.
This type of shower can use a single tap or a branch shell. However, most use branch shells to channel water to faucet spouts and hand showers and head showers. In fact, currently many bathtub showers already have shelves for placing toiletries and bath sponge hangers.
