Shower-one of the things with the highest poverty rate in the family (maybe not). You may not cook at home every day, but you use the shower almost every day.
It may be a little out of your budget, and it may hurt to buy it. But in the days after the real check-in, you will definitely thank yourself for biting your teeth and buying a beautiful shower.
About how to choose, many articles will tell you, shower this technology, that technology, analyze this, analyze that. As for me, I want to keep it simple. (If you think the content is too professional, you can jump directly to the shopping guide below. )
0 1/ 7 look
1, look at the material
Everyone likes to talk about shower materials. Actually, there are only two kinds: copper /304 stainless steel.
Let's not talk about stainless steel here Why? I really don't recommend you to buy 304 stainless steel wire drawing process. The texture is not as good as pure copper+electroplating. Price. . . 200,300 a set.
Mainstream brands have given up this process. Do you really want to buy a cool stainless steel brushed one and dance in the shower at home?
☉? 800 pieces of stainless steel wire drawing shower on Taobao.
▲ About all copper:
Don't believe that the so-called 1000 yuan TB three-no-online celebrity model can be compared with the 3000+ Hans Goya model, which is self-deception. The technical threshold of electroplating process is quite high.
On the shower of 800, everyone said that their own is pure copper +n-layer electroplating.
☉? Random search for a treasure, 800+ all copper shower.
* * * What should I do? ***
Put aside those messy routines, when choosing a shower. Just a word of advice, because the technical threshold is not low, so please believe in the power of the brand.
Don't choose pine forest in the budget, the budget is enough for Hans Geyer+Gao Yi, and you can also choose Hans Geyer on Haitao Deya (Amazon, Germany) if you have the ability.
☉? The price in Deya is almost the lowest in the world.
What is a good electroplating process? My faucet shower faucet suit is very elegant. Properly maintained, it will be as clean as new after one year of use;
☉? There is no soft water, only simple pre-filtration.
2. Look at the valve core
The valve core is a key component for mixing cold water and hot water.
Almost all the raiders tell you to choose imported spool.
Although imported brand valve cores are necessary. For example, a forest in Hungary uses Kerox, and a tripod in France uses Vernet.
But you can't just write import. Somali products are also called imported products.
* * * How should I choose? ***
Choose imported high-end brand spool. If the brand of the spool is not clearly written, it is not recommended to consider it.
Remarks: Top German brands have their own valve cores. Don't ask the brand about this.
3. Watch the air jet
Air jet ≠ booster shower
Taobao's 9.8 packs of pressurized shower just made the outlet smaller. Indeed, the water sprayed far and high. Water is good, like a needle speech. Why embarrass yourself!
There are also some articles that teach you to see the height of the spray. I am drunk, too.
Some so-called shower heads with filtration function, because filtration will reduce the water pressure, so many people also adopt this method.
Why bring disgrace to oneself? ......
When you consider the high-quality shower of 1000+, there will be a lot of publicity about gas injection.
Simply put: gas injection = water+mixed gas.
The same amount of water, washing on the body feels more comfortable. This is what we often say, the feeling of champagne.
It's always hard to describe. I'll try to describe it:
This kind of water is not strong, but it is sufficient, and the water pressure is sufficient. It is very natural and rich for water droplets to hit the body.
☉? After the pressurization is turned on, the water flow becomes larger.
The earliest technology is Hans Geyer's, which is called air jet. Then the major brands also showed the same function. Oxygen-enriched rain in Gaoyi, air pressurization in Jiumu, oxygen infiltration and water saving in Song Lin, etc.
Although the principle is similar, the actual experience is still different.
* * * What should I do? ***
Regarding this suggestion, you can go to the offline store to experience it before making a decision. Whether you like it or not, whether it is worth it or not. Which one do you think is the most comfortable?
There is no difference between the so-called online and offline shower heads, so you can buy them with confidence. )
Step 4 look at the constant temperature
Now the water heaters at home are all constant temperature. Do I still need to buy a constant temperature shower?
Just say the answer:
This is necessary. Hot and cold are not necessarily caused by the water temperature of the water heater, but more by the water pressure at home.
A simple example is that I am taking a bath and my wife is washing dishes in the kitchen (although the general situation is the opposite)
Cold water diversion will affect the water pressure of constant temperature water heater. After a series of processes (too lazy to explain or watch), the water in your bath suddenly becomes low pressure, cold and hot.
Remarks: Gas water heaters smaller than 12L cannot be equipped with constant temperature showers. Principle: Too high water temperature will damage the ceramic valve core. You'd better consult the seller when buying.
5. About water pressure
Although this is not a shower, it should be mentioned separately. Because this is really important:
When the water pressure at home is insufficient, you can use any shower. Need to add a booster pump.
The water pressure in the shop has been adjusted, which must make you feel quite comfortable. If the water pressure is insufficient, the shower you bought home will not achieve the effect you experienced.
This configuration will be difficult and the booster pump will be noisy. The specific situation still needs specific analysis. Given a reference data, above 0.25Mpa, it can basically meet the normal use of shower heads.
6, look at the constant temperature cold touch
This function should also be pulled out separately. I know your needs best.
Many showers flaunt their constant temperature and cold touch functions, taking Gaoyi as an example.
The principle is simple, that is, cold water is wrapped in hot water. The whole faucet will not heat up at the hot water pipe.
If you have children at home, you can consider the elderly. Don't worry about burns, or fall down because of burns. Generally speaking, I think it is a better function.
7. Look at the clean water ahead.
PP cotton/corset will do. PP cotton filter bottle is cheap and convenient, and the filter element is replaced frequently. Backwash filtration is a bit expensive, and the filter element replacement time is longer.
The previous role is almost always to protect these hardware at home. At present, there are PP+ activated carbon and other multi-layer filters, but the more layers, the greater the impact on household water pressure. Unless the water quality is quite poor, a layer of PP cotton is enough.
☉? Left: recoil type; Right: PP cotton
Ah! It still looks very troublesome!
Just tell me how to buy it!
Next, let's talk about something that everyone likes: the shopping guide.
02/ Shopping Guide
First of all, simple classification: domestic brands, imported brands, unaffordable series and network celebrities.
1, network celebrities with miscellaneous brands
As a messenger of justice, I went to dig up these brands. Just say a few points: (no roll call, everyone knows)
▲ As a functional thing that may need post-maintenance, this is a three-no product. Do you really dare to use it?
▲ Almost all of them are Kaiping goods. Kaiping's hardware is good, and all kinds of supplies are in place. But recently, many people went to Kaiping to open a new factory. They started production and then packaged and sold it.
▲ Advertise yourself as an OEM export commodity. Is it exported to Africa? Song Lin doesn't even talk about his own OEM. After listening to your boasting, I believe in your evil.
▲ I have always said that my parts are imported from the same model. Which model is the same? The key components of Hansgrohe are strictly controlled by the supplier. Is it really that simple that you broke the century-old cause that others Germans worked so hard for?
▲ Online celebrity marketing has done a good job. There are many naval forces on the Internet, all of them are Zhihu and Aunt Zhang. A discerning eye looks like a big pit. I was badly sprayed on the Zhihu recently.
▲ When a fish searches for a lot of your same money, it is 20% cheaper than you. Does conscience hurt?
▲ Also, it is also written for all kinds of businesses that have no good products and are single-minded in marketing. Don't recharge my account, you can't afford it.
▲ In a word: Not recommended! At this price, you can obviously buy a conscientious domestic brand.
2. Domestic brands
Cost-effective choice: Song Lin and Aden.
Song Lin has been making showers for many years. Friends who are familiar with grey sugar know that I have been blowing pine trees, which can be said to be the pride of domestic manufacturing industry.
Never shout the slogan of domestic products, precipitation technology, down-to-earth products and many core technologies. Order another compliment.
Song Lin's product line is relatively simple, so it is good to choose according to your own needs.
The only location. They didn't have a Tmall before, only their own mall. Since the appearance of Tmall, the price increase has been really fierce this year.
3. Imported brands
High-quality choice: Hans Goya, Gao Yi
Tell a short story:
HanGrohe and Grohe used to be a family. Hans Gaoyi Company was founded by its founder Mr. Hans Gaoyi in 190 1 year.
The predecessor of Gaoyi Company is Bockenhoff &; 1936 was acquired by Frederick Goyle (the second son of Hans Goyle). Paschedag Company, which was renamed Gaoyi Company twice.
Therefore, Gaoyi Company was founded by the second son of the founder of Hans Geier Company.
Then we parted.
Many friends want to buy Hans Geyer and Gaoyi, and they are also asking me which one is cost-effective.
In fact, these two brands combine their products in this way (super focus, knock on the blackboard! ! ! ! ): different handles+different taps+different top sprays.
● The most advanced handheld (E 150)+ constant temperature cold touch faucet +240mm top spray = the most advanced.
● The lowest hand+the most common faucet+160mm top spray = it is better to buy pine forest.
Hans Geyer and Gao Yi have different grip grades: low-end on the left and high-end on the right.
↑ Hans Geya and Gaoyi faucets of different grades: low-end on the left and high-end on the right.
Hans Gayer handles of different grades: grades from low to high, from left to right.
Combine the above pictures and you will have the following combination:
How to allocate your own budget reasonably? My suggestion is: hold > cold tap > top spray.
If you often use top spray, please adjust the priority of top spray to the front. )
Please choose the water discharge function according to your own needs, which will be several hundred yuan cheaper. Yes, holding hands is the soul of the shower experience.
A little hint, if you just want to have fun, don't want to spend too much money. You can have a very good shower experience by buying an advanced handheld (600+).
In the previous house, I bought a Gao Yi handheld, and for the first time I really experienced the feeling of being drenched by oxygen in the rain for decades.
If you don't like top spraying, you can choose products that don't. This saves the budget again!
↑ shower kit without top spray
3, can't afford a series
Just look at it: Axor Yasheng-Hans Geyer's high-end series.
Look around, don't ask the price. It's not a big problem to replace the shower system with a car.
Axor's only parity series:
Deya is about 1000 Euro, and domestic 8000- 10000 Euro.
How to buy?
First of all, I will help you through the offline store, and that price will be sold to local tyrants who don't buy it online.
According to my own experience of visiting physical stores, let's have a Hansgrohe E 120 hand-held shower. The price of a physical store is about twice that of an online store.
Reason: Hansgroya's dealers are chaotic, and the operating cost of physical stores is also high. So I raised the price very high.
Preferred purchase channel: Tmall = Amazon = JD.COM self-operated > JD.COM third party > Taobao.
If you are too lazy to read everything on it. Just look at the following paragraph.
My personal suggestion is: 1800-3000.
Brand = international big name
Configuration = constant temperature cold contact zone effluent+advanced handheld+ordinary top spray.
Finally, let me talk about my own concept, the concept of golden kitchen and silver guard. With our generation's concept of not cooking, it has begun to blur.
But the bathroom, as the most used space, is the most worthwhile investment space in the home. In this space, the shower is the coolest and most experienced product.
Buy less bags, love yourself from taking a shower!
