A real tool of well-being or a simple trendy gadget, the hydro massage shower has as many supporters as it has detractors.
Whether in a column or in a cabin, this device, which appeared in our bathrooms for about fifteen years, has already attracted many individuals. Between advantages and disadvantages, is it really worth equipping yourself?
What if your daily shower was no longer just a gesture of hygiene, but also a moment of relaxation and stimulation? The promises of the well-being of hydro massage showers are enticing and the list of their virtues has already convinced many of us to install one. But is this equipment really effective?
Sporty or stressed, for a real “wellness” moment, opt for a hydro massage shower. Equipped with massage nozzles with adjustable jets, and possibly a waterfall jet, these showers provide the benefits of thalassotherapy and hydrotherapy at home. Add a chromotherapy device and you will have a real spa at home!
The hand shower allows it to rinse certain areas such as the armpits or feet more effectively, or to direct the jet when you do not want to wet your hair. It is also essential for cleaning the shower, in order to remove all traces of product on the tiles or the shower screen!
If you are building or embarking on a complete bathroom remodel, the must is to choose a concealed shower solution. The shower bar disappears behind the wall, only the overhead shower, the mixer control buttons, the hand shower, the hose and its support remain visible.
This design solution is strongly recommended in walk-in showers for a clean look and easy cleaning.
The overhead shower can be mounted on an arm fixed to the wall or ceiling, which allows it to be oriented, or be recessed into the ceiling. We then speak of “rainy sky”.
How to choose your shower column?
The choice of the elements that make up the shower column is essential: type of mixer, diameter of the overhead shower, number of hand shower jets, material of the hose are all criteria that condition the level of comfort and impact the price.
The shower columns bring, in addition to hygiene, well-being and relaxation at home. They tone muscles with hydrotherapy, stimulate blood circulation and reduce stress, thus contributing to improved health and quality of life.
The characteristics of a shower column go far beyond those of a conventional shower. This consists of an aerial sprayer, a hand shower, jets, sprinklers or even various water outlets.
Essential elements of a hydro massage column
There are different types of sprayers, which vary in their functionality. Some mimic a tropical rain or waterfall, others incorporate a nebulizer or LED lights in different colours.
The hand shower is equipped with different water outlets, with a rain effect for relaxation, a pulsating effect by intermittent jets or a nebulizer effect.
Finally, the column itself has various integrated jets or water outlets that can be oriented to produce a general or localized massage.
It is not advisable to try to save money at all costs; the quality and the benefits will compensate for the greater expense.The shower columns are synonymous with many health benefits, pleasant sensations and intense moments of relaxation. Do not deprive yourself of this pleasure.
