YET ANOTHER package on our porch today. More money out of my pocket :-( Please make it stop...

Shower info from HomeDepot.com:
Today's showerheads deliver more innovative options for cleaning, comfort, and water conservation than ever before. While traditional showerheads with a wide range of sprays are still available, you can reinvigorate your shower experience with a variety of sprays and features like detachable heads and body spa systems. Installing a new showerhead is one of the most economical ways to make your bath experience more pleasant and eco-friendly. This buying guide will help you understand the features and options available to you, so you can feel confident you're selecting the showerhead that delivers the best results for your lifestyle.

The two basic types of showerheads are fixed and hand showers.

Fixed showerheads are attached to a shower arm and mounted permanently to the wall.

Hand Showers are attached to the wall with flexible tubing, which makes it easier to maneuver water where you want it. The head can be placed in a cradle to serve as a conventional wall-mounted shower. Hand showers are ideal for washing children and pets and make cleaning the shower easier. Hoses 84" or longer meet ADA compliance for individuals with special needs.

Traditional heads are one of the most affordable options available. They offer a wide range of spray patterns and streams that vary from strong to fine mist. More expensive models tend to have a greater selection of spray patterns and materials.

Dual Showerhead sprays consist of two showerheads running off of a single pipe, providing wider water flow over a larger area at multiple angles. Available features include independent adjustable pressure and massaging heads. Configurations include two sprays on one unit, an overhead with a side spray, or a traditional head and a hand shower.

Body Spas and Body Mist showers use strips of jets or misters to create a soothing, massaging spray with body coverage from head to toe. Used primarily in custom showers, they may require a larger up-front investment. Body spas may have special installation and plumbing requirements.

Overhead showerheads, also called rain or rose showerheads, cascade water directly from above for light, even distribution. While they provide a relaxing cascade of water, because they are oversized, their low flow rate isn't for everyone.

Slide Bar showerheads feature a movable mount on a vertical bar that can be moved up and down to the ideal height for various members of the family. They also make it easier to shower without getting your hair wet.

Concentrated pulse sprays massage your entire body to provide a relaxing shower. Patterns that mix strong jets with pulsating streams soothe and revitalize. Wide, pulsating sprays may be soft to provide a gentle mist or strong to provide a deep penetrating massage. Strong, concentrated sprays are ideal for hair washing and heavy-duty cleaning.

Materials and Finishes

Chrome - polished, brushed or matte finish

Nickel -- brushed or satin, titanium finish

Brass - high gloss, satin or antique finish

Bronze - polished, brushed or darker oil-rubbed look

"Stainless Steel" - attractive and doesn't show water spots

A showerhead produces a pattern of water in a comfortable spray over a wide surface area. The volume of water delivered by a showerhead is measured in gallons per minute (gpm) and is affected by the water pressure in your home. Since 1992, government regulations have mandated that all new showerheads have a maximum flow rate of 2.5 gpm at a standardized pressure of 80 pounds per square inch (psi).

Complete shower systems provide a more full and relaxing shower experience using a combination of showerheads, configuration designs and features. These systems may range from an economical new, multi-function showerhead to easy-to-install tower showers and panels that connect to existing plumbing. For a total personalized shower experience, custom shower designs offer feature-rich, higher-end systems with multiple valves, sprays and patterns in virtually limitless combinations. These systems are designed to your specifications and are a popular option in new construction due to the often unique requirements for plumbing, water pressure, drainage, hot water and ventilation.

Features to Consider
Deluxe heads may feature electronic control panels that put you in complete control of spray intensity, frequency and pattern.

Heads with bendable nozzles help prevent lime scale buildup. Simply swivel the nozzle from time to time to shake bits and particles of lime scale loose.

A rubber grip will make a handheld head easier to hold, particularly when it's wet, and an arm extender will allow taller people to raise the head to make showering easier.

  • @pharoahofdreamers That is quite a story! Thank you for the kind words and take care!

  • wow i feel bad for you even though im 11 and a girl :P

  • Has your wife considered seeing a therapist? Because I am quite worried about not only you but her also. She seems to get sucked in to all these infomercials, and purchases every product they show. Sooner or later, all the money will be going towards the Visa bill and you will have nothing left to spend on food, new car... etc. 

  • lol , spend your sunday cursing at the shower head.thats great!
