Water consumption
The throughput capacity of a manual shower watering agent, in other words, the amount of water it gives out per minute when the faucets are fully open. Since the capacity is not only related to the design of the watering box, but also to the pressure in the water supply, it is customary to specify an average value - at a standard pressure of 3 bar.
The higher this parameter - the more intense the impact on the body can have a shower. At the same time, high water consumption can become a problem when there are water meters or when there are limited supplies - for example, if hot water is supplied by a boiler. Also note that
, low throughput can be compensated by certain jet settings.
Hose length
The length of hose for the shower head be supplied with a shower system of one type or another (see above). In most modern models, this parameter is about 140 - 160 cm - it is enough that even a tall man could easily rinse completely, from the top. In addition, some hoses can stretch 20-30% of their original length. So in practice, it is worth paying attention to the length of the hose except in special cases - for example, if the system is bought for a very spacious bathroom and you need a shower with an increased «radius of action».
Spout
— Cascade. In such vents, water is fed through an outlet in the form of a thin horizontal slit, or a wide trench (depending on the model). Due to this, the output achieves a large width of the jet at a low thickness, which provides a good throughput, as well as the original look, imitating the waterfall (hence the name). On the other hand, this form is less universal than the classical one, and it is much more expensive, and therefore is used quite rarely.
— Classic. Models in which the spout is made in the form of a tube. Such flows may have different shapes in length (straight, curved, with an angle) and cross-section (round, triangular, square, etc.), but they are all tubes.
In most cases, there is simply no drain for shower systems.
Spout length
The length of the spout characterizes the distance from the rod (in built-in ones from the wall) to the place where the water is poured out, i.e. the actual length of the conventional “spout” of the mixer.
