Coming home after a hard working day, we so want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of calm and relaxation. This may contribute to such a unique invention of English scientists as a tropical shower. What does he represent and what model to choose? Let's try to figure it out in order.

Views

Despite the general name, there are several types of this bathroom equipment.

The main overall feature for all is the presence of leaks of a large diameter.It is at the expense of this that it seems that you are standing under the real torrential rain, and not in your own bathroom.

Panel

The most expensive option, but the most spectacular one. The device is a panel from which water itself and flows. The shape and size of this accessory may be different. His unique feature is that it is mounted directly into the ceiling or wall.

In fact, if you open water, then the feeling will be created that it pours straight from the ceiling.Due to this, such a stunning effect of tropical shower is achieved.

An additional plus will be a significant savings in the bathroom, as the equipment will be hidden behind the wall and ceiling.

This option can be mounted in both the shower and in the bathroom. Perhaps you will have to contact the specialists, as it may be problematic to make the hidden installation of the newbie. You will also remain enjoying a pleasant procedure that will help restore forces.

Manufacturers offer various options for this device. Some of them are equipped with a special backlight, which creates an atmosphere of magic and mysteriousness. Other embodiments embedded in the wall are equipped with hydromassage feature. As a pleasant bonus, individual models can be equipped with a thermostat.

Rack

This is a more budget and affordable option. It does not require much effort and knowledge for its installation. Equipment is a rack (rod) with a wage of large diameter. Plus lies in the fact that you will not need to keep the watering can in your hands. Fix it on the rack in a convenient position for you and turn on the water. The bar itself is securely attached to the wall. When choosing and installing, it is important that the height of the rod is convenient for all family members.

This species is the favorite today.It's all about the convenience of exploitation, a democratic price and the absence of complex additional work related to installation.

Another advantage is the universality of the device. It can be easily installed both in a shower cabin and in the bathroom or a bowl.

Bathroom faucet with tropical shower

We all at least once in your life chose a mixer for the bathroom and imagine what it is. So, next time, pay attention to the model, which not so long ago appeared on the market, namely: a mixer with a tropical shower effect.

It differs from the most familiar to us only the size of the leibhere.Although the "Tropical Shine" panel is still far away. The diameter does not exceed 25 cm. It is more standard size, but less than what is offered in embedded models. Of the advantages, you can highlight a low price and the ability to make all work on installation yourself.

Watering can

The easiest and cheapest way to feel what a tropical souls are in the conditions of the urban apartment. To install this kind, you do not have to break the walls or even change the mixer. Visit the plumbing shop and select a watering can of a large diameter. On some models it will be indicated that it is the tropical shower, and some can only have a standard article from the manufacturer.

For mounting, remove your old watering can, which is attached to the hose and install this model. Tropical rain - fast and cheap. It, of course, does not look so impressive as the panel, but it is less than less.

Features

The classic tropical shower is still a built-in panel. The remaining species are models with a tropical rain effect.

Here we will talk about the features of this particular type.

• Form of watering. It can be round, square or rectangular. There are no special differences between them. They are created in order to successfully fit into the interior of any bathroom.
• Customizable fromflood of water and various modes.
• Since it is an embedded modification of the ordinary soul, it is practically not visible in the off state.

Advantages and disadvantages

The tropical shower is undoubtedly an interesting and useful device, but is everything so good as manufacturers tell us about it? The use of this innovative product can be associated with some difficulties. The following facts can be attributed to obvious advantages.

• Wide wage is more convenient to use than standard. When the flow direction on the body, it covers a large area.
• Ability to regulate stream strength. Some devices are provided even such exotic modes as spring and autumn rain.
• Illumination. If you believe scientists, the light is able to influence our mood and well-being. In this case, the reception of the soul will not only useful for health, but also bring aesthetic pleasure.
• The ability to independently install. Having a standard set of tools at hand, you yourself will be able to mount this system.
• Massage effect. The hydromassage has long been recognized as a treatment procedure. By installing a tropical shower, you can enjoy her at home every day.

Manufacturers

On the market now you can find models of an expensive price segment of well-known and proven brands. Such models will undoubtedly be happy to please you with impeccable work. There are Chinese, and Korean counterparts. You need to be careful with them. Joy from such a profitable purchase can quickly go through, because it is very difficult to find a high-quality inexpensive model.

• Wasserkraft.The German company, which is among other things, produces a tropical shower system from brass. Such a choice of material for it is not chosen. The thing is that it is a durable material that is not subject to corrosion. It becomes key to constant contact with water.
• Grohe.During production, high quality materials are used only. In the product line of this company, you can find innovative and non-trivial solutions.

• Hansgrohe. German manufacturer of components for the bathroom. On the market this company since 1901. It is not surprising that for such a long time it managed to establish itself as a reliable manufacturer of high-quality equipment. As befits the Germans, all the products are distinguished by conciseness, modern design and durability.
• Kaiser. Another German trademark that produces household appliances and equipment for the bathroom. Production is located in China. Therefore, it does not have to speak about purebred German quality.

• Gappo.On the Russian market, the company is relatively recently recently, since 2002. Produces various types of mixers. This firm model with sensory control is most popular.
• FRAP. Chinese manufacturer, whose models are very similar to those that produce global brands. Refers to the budget market segment.
• Ganzer.Another German brand, but all production is located in China. It must be said that most users notes too high prices and at the same time the low quality of the products themselves.

According to online stores, it is this way that the rating of racks with a rain shower in producers looks. The leader of this Wasserkraft rating specializes in the production of plumbing and bathroom equipment. Reliable and proven manufacturer. This is confirmed by numerous reviews of the owners of their products posted on special Internet resources.

Installing and troubleshooting

Depending on the selected species, the equipment installation steps may also be changed. For such types of tropical shower, such as a watering can and the mixer will not need particularly complex manipulations when mounting.

The most important thing is to choose high-quality components so that when installing and operating is not disappointed in your choice.

• Watering can.Simply select the model you like and change your old watering can on a new one.
• Mixer. Change your old mixer to the new with the effect of the tropical shower on traditional technology and enter the system into operation.
• Rack.Decide whether you will put a rack in the same place where you had a crane or more convenient to shift it. In the last variant, it may be necessary to lay additional pipes. If everything suits you, outlines the line on which the rack will be held, you set the mixer and use.
• Panel.For this option, it is best to carry out pipe laying at the repair stage. Although if your bathroom did not see the repair for 10 years, then maybe it's time to think about it with a cardinal transformation? At this time, you install this miracle system. It is worth noting that the illumination options may require an additional laying of an electrical cable or extension cable.

Famous manufacturers give a long warranty on their equipment.Another question if the system was established with violations of the installation rules. Another problem can be a low quality of water in which various impurities are present. Heavy metals, salts and other substances can negatively affect the work of even the highest quality equipment for the bathroom. What to do?

If the breakdown occurred due to the manufacturer's fault (production defect was detected), then refer to the service center. In this case, you can count on monetary compensation (return the amount paid for the goods) or replacement for a new model.

Often, users complain about a weak water pressure. You expect that now the real tropical shower will be collapsed for you in all its manifestation, and instead you are watching only a pathetic maniver, who is barely soooed through the mountain cleft? Perhaps the whole thing in the pressure of the water pipeline itself. It is no secret that with different water supply systems in apartment buildings, a strengthening or weakening of pressure on different floors may be observed. Try contacting the service provider or controlling company.

Another option can be a zoom of holes in the leibhere itself. There is also no manufacturer's fault. Heavy metals and other precipitations accumulate and create an obstacle on the water flow path. It is unlikely that you will be able to solve the problem with the quality of water overnight, so just disassemble and clean the canoe.

How to choose?

The main criteria for selecting a system tropical rain can be attributed to several of the most important indicators.

• Brand. Models from global plumbing brands are at times more expensive than Chinese counterparts. But also, no one can reproach them in low quality products. Therefore, if you have already decided to rejoice yourself for a long tropical shower, it is better to pay once than then to suffer with repair.
• Purpose.Even before buying, decide whether this system will be installed in the shower or bath. The thing is that the size of the bowl or bath can be very modest compared to the diameter of the shower panel. In this case, do not avoid drops that will fall on the floor.

In addition, it is important to understand what option is suitable for you more: wall or upper ceiling.

Innovations in the production of plumbing now allow you to get closer to the tropics right in your bathroom, because with the help of a special soul system you can create a imitation of tropical rain. Such souls for similarities with tropical refuse are called tropical. It is not just original and beautiful, but also has a therapeutic effect, as water splashes in such a soul relax the body, help relieve stress.

If earlier such a look of the soul could be seen only in the sanatorium, the public pool or spa, now the tropical souls are installed in country houses, and in urban apartments.

Types of shower systems

Tropical souls are presented by several manufacturers.

Panel

The shower panel is suitable for both the bath and a shower cabin (with it the panel is used more often). The panel is enough to simply install, thereby expanding the functionality of your bath or cabin. According to its placement, the tropical souls by mounting the shower panel can be ceiling, as well as wall mounted.

The plus of the device is the compound in one body of the mixer and watering can.Also in such shower panels, nozzles for hydromassage are often installed. In many models of panels, there are additional features - backlight, radio reception, thermostat and others.

The minus is the cost, since it is the most expensive version of the tropical soul.

Rack

Shower rack optimal in cost and functionality.

The rack is universal, so combined with the shower, and with a bath.It is a barbecue installed on the wall, to which the watering can be attached (it is distinguished by its size).

Water in the watering can be supplied as a stationary pipe in the stand design and flexible hose.

Tropical Shower Mixer

It differs from the standard mixer with a greater watering can (its diameter can be up to 250 mm).

Note that this option will not be able to provide a full-fledged tropical souls due to the smaller width of the water flow (it does not cover the whole body). As in the option with the resistant, a flexible hose or stationary tube can be approached to the mixer.

Watering can

With the help of a shower watering can, the ordinary mixer can be made like a tropical shower. This is the cheapest option, because you can buy a watering can and attach to the hose of the already existing mixer, but it reminds the real tropical shower only remotely.

Features

This kind of soul, like tropical, belong to the upper souls, as water jets often fall on the body from above, and due to the drip system, they are not a flow of water, but soft drops.

A distinctive characteristic of fixtures for the tropical soul is a large-size leak, equipped with a special system that supplies water and distributes it. Drops fall from a height of about 2 meters and create the effect of stay under warm shower.

The geometric shape of the watering can be different. Almost all modern tropical shower has a special backlight. Many soul models are also equipped with a control panel, which allows you to change the character of the soul from a light rain to a strong shower.

Benefit

Since this type of soul positively affects the psychological state (relaxes, reduces stress reactions, removes anxiety), it is also called the shower of positive emotions.

Due to the additional aeration of water inside the mixer such a shower has hydromassage effects.As a result, such a souls improves peripheral blood circulation, relieves the stress in the muscles, it is brown and improves the mood. Due to the soft hydromassage, the skin after such a soul acquires elasticity and tightened appearance. A separate positive effect is noted from the effect of illumination in the tropical soul.

Manufacturers

A large selection of embedded systems with a different form of Leek offers an English company OTler.The model of the shower of this manufacturer is distinguished by the number of nozzles, the type of watering can, illumination, manufacturing material. For a standard steel, glass or chrome-plated system, you need to pay up to 50 thousand rubles, and designs with additional options (unusual design, regulation of irrigation mode, sensory control) are more expensive.

The most popular manufacturer of racks for the tropical soul is the German company Hansgrohe. Its products are characterized by the size and shape of the leek. Metal racks can be bought for 20,000 rubles, and systems with a thermostat made from brass - for 70 thousand rubles.

Panels for tropical shower also produces Novellini. Their price is 60000-150000 rubles and is determined by the size, material manufacturing material and device package. The most accessible acrylic and aluminum shower panels. The most expensive are hi-tech panels, supplemented by LED backlight, seat, mirrors inserts, thermostat and stand under the legs.

Note that high-quality tropical souls is considered expensive plumbing equipment. If you have seen an inexpensive option from a little-known company, then you risk acquiring only the similarity of the tropical soul. You will be sold a regular watering can for the larger soul, which gives water in the usual way (in the form of jets without mixing with air), and therefore the effect of the rain will not work.

In the interior of the bathroom

Ceiling tropical shower will decorate the room and can serve as an addition to the beautiful bathroom interior. If the usual shower can act as an inappropriate part in the interior, then tropical, quite the opposite, will become a stylish "highlight" of the room.

It is preferable to mount the shower system in the bathroom of a large area. If the bathroom is small, it is worth staying on such a tropical soul design like a shower rack. Pick the floor of the watering can, taking into account the style, the round is more suitable for the classic interior, and the rectangular will perfectly fit into the air on the air and High-tech.

The backlight can be selected as a harmonious addition to the texture and color of the walls, or as a contrast to the room decoration. Thanks to light overflows, the bath design can be transformed and become memorable.

Backlight

Its presence allows not only physical benefits from the tropical shower, but also aesthetic pleasure. The illumination of such a soul is mounted in the LED panel. Since it has no connection with the electrical network, it is completely safe.The switching on the backlight is performed under the influence of water pressure in the shower.

Note that the presence of backlight is not just a decor, but can serve as a means of chromotherapy. Taking a shower with red backlight, you will raise your tone, you will become more vigorous and energetic. Water treatments in green light relax and help streamline thoughts. Standing under the shower with blue backlight, you will feel a peace and forget about sharp problems. After going to the shower, which glows yellow, you will be able to improve immunity and intensify the work of the brain. Tropical shower with pink and orange light will help in fighting stress and strengthen health.

Independent installation

Having learned about the benefits of the tropical soul and seeing enough expensive offers of well-known manufacturers of sanitary devices, thought may appear - is it possible to make such a soul yourself? Completely, if you prepare well and think through everything. For the manufacture of a tropical soul with your own hands at home you need to buy a mixer, watering can and pipes. Installation can be opened open, but the best choice will be hidden installation.

Start embodying the idea of \u200b\u200bthe installation of the house of the tropical shower follows during repairs, because you will have to make shoes in the walls. In the center of the Stroke system, you need to create a recess under the mixer. It should be supplied with 4 shoes - in two there are pipes, bringing water to the mixer, in one there will be a pipe that water will fall into the bath, and in one there will be a pipe for supplying water to watering can.

Having installed the necessary pipes (for hidden installation it is better to use polypropylene or copper pipes), then the watering and lever controlling the faucet is mounted. Then you can continue repair work in the bathroom, in conclusion, installing a shower room (open) or a bath with a curtain in the place of the subordinated tropical shower.

In such a soul, due to aeration, the flow is separated into a plurality of small drops saturated with air bubbles, the direction of the fall of which is usually strictly vertical.

You can talk long about the attractiveness of the stationary ceiling soul, but it is much easier to feel comfort and the anti-stress effect from its use. If the choice fell towards the tropical watering can - let's understand the intake subtleties and the black plumbing devices for its correct connection.

What is the essence of the tropical soul

Unlike a simple shower can, emitting thin continuous water flows, the tropical souls acts otherwise. Due to the special design, water is mixed with air and immediately thrown out. Due to aeration, the flow is separated into a plurality of small droplets, saturated with air bubbles, the direction of the fall of which is usually strictly vertical.

Do not confuse multi-mode watering cans and headsets with the tropical shower. Despite the similar effect, there are a number of significant differences. First of all, the difference is thrown in the eye: the tropical watering can be significantly more combined, it creates a tight veil of droplets, which practically do not dissipate. The width of such a rain column can reach a half-meter, and sometimes more. It should not be noticed that the majority of "Zakos" under the tropical shower aeration do not have, and this is a very essential factor of comfort.

Another characteristic feature is a relatively small water consumption. Despite the fact that the watering can cover a truly large area, the stream is represented by small drops, the density of which is reduced by air bubbles. It turns out that almost the whole body is in contact with the dispersed weighing of water in the air, but at the same time the duct is less than that of a standard watering with a similar area of \u200b\u200bscattering and a thickness of the stream.

Sounds of the arrangement of the shower

But focus on the mounting nuances. Planning the installation of the tropical shower should be in advance, passing the necessary shape and sizes of the shower compartment. Here, a large underwater stone lies in the fact that there is a sufficiently large length between the mixer and shower. Because of this, the temperature setting, even with the thermostat, occurs with a significant delay, respectively, almost always have to move away from too hot or cold "rain".

In the simplest version, the tropical watering can be part of an external installation - a rack with a mixer, which has an internal channel for water supply to watering can. However, this molding method requires even more space inside the shower cabin, because installation already requires additional retreat from the wall. The alternative installation method involves the gasket of the connecting channel is hidden under the trim, respectively, it is necessary to provide in advance of the shutters or the corresponding values \u200b\u200bof the gaps when finishing with shower raspberries.

It should be noted that it makes no sense to use hidden installation, if ultimately the connecting fittings will not be completely hidden behind the decorative linings of pure plumbing. Therefore, it is important to ensure the correct value of the protrusion of nozzles for fastening the mixer and the shower watering can. Ideal if the shower setup kit will be purchased in advance: so the necessary conditional lumen of pipes will be reliably known, the diameter of the threaded connections and other conditions necessary for correct installation.

Laying Communications

Connecting a tropical watering can with hidden mounting is performed through a recessed type mixer, for example, HansGrohe IBox or any of its analogues. Under it requires the arrangement of a niche or a cavity of false depth of about 35-50 mm. Such a type of mixers is ideal for installation in the bathroom: In addition to the main removal for the tropical watering can, it has an additional, to which you can connect a conventional shower watering can or vulgar bath. The need for an additional removal is quite explained, because to wash a certain part of the body or cleaning in a shower without an additional watering can not be.

The water supply to the mixer is usually performed from the bottom and one of the lateral sides. With a hidden installation, the most preferred version of the plumbing system will be polypropylene pipes on press fittings as the most durable. The pipe supply pipes are hot and cold go to the mixer niche from below, then one of the pipes rotate for lateral connection. On the other, the free side of the mixer is laid another tube connecting the additional removal with a mounted wall with a nozzle for connecting the shower hose.

In the open installation, the headset of the tropical rain has a standard connection with the mid-space distance of 150 mm. Such installation is connected as the most ordinary mixer and at the same time has additional attachment points to the wall. Very often, the connecting rod (hussac) of the open installation is specifically hidden in the wall instead of a black-type connective tube. It is explained by this high rigidity of the installation and the ability to carry out installation without an additional fastening system and numerous threaded connections. An ordinary tap pipe mixer and watering can be connected in the event that the latter is installed on the threaded outlet, fixed on the ceiling.

Installation of a hidden mixer

The so-called "Aibox" has a cross-free connection scheme. Internal mechanism can be checked in any way to change the purpose of the nozzles. As a rule, the water supply is carried out from below and from one of the lateral sides, on the reverse side, the removal of additional spanning is connected, and the tropical watering can be topped.

The housing of the mixer is a cylindrical glass that is attached to the wall with four adjusting studs. To simplify the output to the final plane of the wall decoration, the high-quality plumber has a cross-ring on the outside of the body, which serves as an opposite focus for the plating of falseland. Ultimately, the layer of sheathing and finishing is tightly clamped between this ring and the front panel. If the mixer is meditated to the capital wall, the ring is removed.

Connecting the mixer is performed on threaded fittings that are packed on an anaerobic sealant. The diameter of the connections is usually 1/2 ", respectively, there is no clear need to use a pipeline with a wider conditional passage. After the connection, the mixer is finally adjusted with studs to remove the front side into the decoration plane, then mocking or fastening plane is performed. In the latter case, the remaining gap between the case and The trim is thickly filled with sanitary silicone, then a waterproofing cuff is sisted around the protruding strikers on the sealant.

The completion of the installation occurs after facing the shower tile. The details of the internal mechanism closes the overhead panel, which many manufacturers have up to a dozen variations of the appearance and ergonomics of controls. Protection of the insides of the mixer from water ingress is provided by one or more contours of the sealing seals or gaskets along the panel contour. The panel itself is attached due to the twisting of the decorative sleeves of the handle or using the hidden clips.

Installation and connecting can

The final part of the installation is the installation of the leibhere itself. The least problematic is considered to install on a rod emerging from the wall. It is enough just to invest in the threaded compound the sealing gasket and wind the watering can. After tightening the threaded connection, the watering can be positioning for its correct orientation (especially important for square lebs) and horizontal position. Both tasks are solved by an adapter with a ballproof.

Installation of canoeing to the ceiling threaded output is somewhat more complicated due to limited space. In part, such a problem can be solved by a decorative insert that performs the role of the extension. Its installation is not always possible, in some cases the ceiling height is valid, although the extension can even make it easier for installation in 20-30 mm.

Operating Parameters Water Supply System

The tropical shower is not suitable for each water supply system. The first and most important criterion is the working system of the system: it is limited to both the upper and the lower limit threshold. In different models of the shower, specific values \u200b\u200bmay vary slightly, but the average is about 3 to 4.5 atmospheres.

It is possible to solve the problem of overpressure using plumbing gearboxes. For apartments with the supply of hot water, they will be required two - for each on the riser for the correct operation of the mixer. The lack of pressure is harmed more difficult, while at low pressure aeration may not occur at all. You can pump pressure using a low noise water pump with a smooth start system or an individual water controller.

In addition to the noise from the work of the pump itself, significant interference may be pressure blows when starting and stopping, so they will have to take care of the correct adjustment of the pressure relay and supplement the system with a hydroaccumulator of the corresponding volume - 5-7 times more water displacement of the entire tap wiring. Also get rid of the hydrowards will help the installation of check valves at the inlet and outlet of the pumping unit. Published

The design with a wide area of \u200b\u200bvertical irrigation, according to external characteristics similar to tropical shower, is called tropical shower. A similar impression was achieved with the help of a wide diameter of the shower spray nozzle and vertical (diagonal) installation.

A characteristic feature of this type of shower system is its static with minor adjustments. In other words, it is impossible to adjust or remove the main sprayer. The regulation of this view of the shower system is not provided, since the perimeter of water spraying from three hundred millimeters in diameter - it makes it possible to cover a person entirely. If there is a wide system, such a distance to the shower watering can impede the comfortable taking of the shower due to the fact that the impressive volume of water is chosen beyond the borders of the shower cabin, and there is a risk of flooding the entire bathroom.

Advantages and disadvantages

The shower system of the tropical species is excellent from a simple analogue with some exceptional features of installation and further operation. Therefore, it is recommended not to chase in modern novelties, but to make a tropical shower in your home.

To the positive parties of this system can be attributed:

• a wide perimeter of water spraying (dense and continuous flow of water);
• in the process of using the shower, your hands are free (there is no need in the direction and holding of the shower watering can);
• exotic appearance (creating a unique interior in the bathroom, the tropical shower is not the most popular version in Russia).

Tropical souls have a number of characteristic flaws:

• complex and time-consuming installation of the shower system;
• the presence of special technical conditions in the room;
• mandatory use of an additional mixer.

Fixing the shower system is produced to the ceiling or wall surface. Often the design of this type requires the presence of a low ceiling and a rather bulky space inside the cabin - this will protect the walls from water splashes and the occurrence of fungus.

To take advantage of the tropical shower, one mixer will not be enough.The fact is that this shower system is provided for use with additional shower racks. The laboriousness of the installation work is enclosed in creating a wiring, namely: the most complex system from pipes and preparation of space for the future installation of the mixer to the wall will be required.

For those who prefer stylish minimalism - it is recommended to build a tropical mixer in the ceiling.

Arrangement of the system for taking a shower

The tropical mixer is not a completely full option for comfortable comprehensive use of the shower, therefore there are four different ways to fix it:

• making the tropical mixer above the surface of the bathroom bowl or shower pallet;
• establish a shower rack;
• supplement the tropical mixer with a simple shower watering can;
• install an additional mixer.

The tropical shower system for the bathroom with the mixer is designed pre-either on the already finished trimmed surface. Depending on the model of the mixer, the installation of hoses is made on the wall surface or under its trim (tile, polyvinyl chloride panels).

Regulation elements are often placed near the mixing gland. They allow you to customize the flow of cold and hot water or switch it to another mixer. This method is suitable for any type of bathroom, provided that the hose is located on the surface of the wall surface. To date, find the wall and ceiling tropical shower system will not be difficult. The first method is most practical in connection with water saving and space.

The rack for the tropical soul with the mixer does not have an output for the usual water supply. Externally, such structures look like ordinary shower racks with static watering cans, there is another option with an additional hand wage. This option is applicable both in the shower cabin and in the homemade soul. And also has a number of distinctive features: a hydromassage function, backlighting, the presence of a thermostat for selecting the necessary temperature mode.

The installation of an added shower watering can with an already existing tropical mixer can be made both in a conventional shower and over the surface of the bathroom bowl. The only drawback of such a model: It is required to hide the hose from the tropical shower. The basis of the shower can be taken. Watering can of tropical species applied as a pleasant addition, which makes the bathroom multifunctional and more attractive. Some models suggest the installation of only one watering can be the top. It can be used in order to redeem children or domestic animals.

Not the most aesthetic, but less labor-intensive option is the installation of a separate mixer.Very often used for the bath: In addition to the shower watering can, a simple mixer is required to fill it. Installation occurs on the general system of pipes, or a separate eyeliner is made.

How to choose?

Tropical style rack for the bathroom is available on the shelves of all construction stores. When buying, pay attention to the dimensions of the products, the manufacturer, are there any different options, as well as from which materials the product produced.

Gabarits.

Parameters are individual and directly depend on the perimeter of the bathroom. The removal and size of watering are one of them. For static shower slabs, fixing to a wall surface, a large takeaway will create difficulties in exploitation. The size of the irrigation affect the width of the shower watering can: the wider watering, the greater the diameter of the watering can. For leeks intended for mounting to the ceiling surface, there are only some dimensions, one size. The length of the removal for such a model is installed during installation, it is not recommended to do it less than fifty millimeters from the nearby wall.

Important: When choosing watering dimensions, be sure to consider the size of the shower cabin or bathroom bowl. Dimensions of the removal in response to the comfort of exploitation, because it is larger, the farther it should be located from the walls.

Materials

Depending on which materials were used for the manufacture, the cost of tropical watering and all of its components can vary. Budget products made from metal powder or thin layer of aluminum plastic are most susceptible to mechanical effects. They are more often cracked and breaking.

More expensive models made of copper and aluminum alloy- just a concession to designer designs. Externally, products have high aesthetic qualities, but the practicality in them is extremely small. Copper under the influence of a constant flow of water and oxygen will rather quickly begin to oxidize.

The manufacturer prudently covers copper mixers with a specialized protective film. But soon after damage, copper oxide is formed, which is expressed by an abundant dense green shade. The most practical one of the options offered by manufacturers will be a clean stainless steel faucet or with a chrome surface. Galvanized products have ease, low cost and high strength indicators. Zinc products are undemanding in care. They are not so strongly susceptible to oxidation than copper.

Manufacturer

The more famous manufacturer, the higher the cost of production. This is a kind of quality guarantee. After all, a major brand takes care of reputation and more carefully refers to the release of quality products. It is recommended to pay attention to the manufacturer, especially if you have scheduled to update and completely change the interior of the bathroom. Quite often, manufacturers produce a line of sanitary facilities, weathered in one tone and color scheme that create a single ensemble.

Among the manufacturers of the soul with the rain is "Rain", you can allocate companies BRAVAT PHILLIS and KAISER. Reviews about their products are mostly only positive.

Hydromassage function

The shower panels with a hydromassage function and tropical shower are additional functions that make the shower multifunctional. The water massage is circular, separately located on the wall surfaces of the shower and point in the presence of the main scatteer in the shower. The last option is extremely popular, as it does not need additional installation work. As for the cost and complexity of the installation - they are significantly lower, but also the usefulness of such hydromassage is extremely small. A high-quality hydromassar is a circular. But it is rare can be found on the shelves of plumbing stores.

The hydromassage option is installed exclusively in shower cabins, the jacuzzi function is used in the bath.

Backlight

An important attribute of any shower cabin is highlighting. Sources of lighting are installed on the control panel or mounted on the surface of the shower watering can. At first glance, this may seem inconvenient and impractical, but vertically falling light highlights the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe shower.

A LED or halogen lamp is used as lighting sources. LED lamp is a secure and budget way to further highlight the shower cabin. It is pretty bright and does not need to be repaired upon failure. Halogen during damage is replaced with a new lamp.

For most people, acquaintance with the rain shower occurred not so long ago, so staying, and today for many riddles, this term is associated only with the word "tropics", while it refers to one of the types of plumbing. Because of this erroneous opinion, many questions arise for which you can find answers in this article. It is important to figure out what a tropical shower is, to learn about the principle of his work and understand whether it is possible to make it with your own hands.

Probably everyone remembers how great in childhood runs down the street under the summer rain. This creates a pleasant sensation, because the man receives energy enclosed in the water stream, and drops falling on the body, help the muscles to relax. To create such an effect and invented a special type of soul, called "tropical rain", since it successfully imitates the shower.

Exterior Tropical Soul

When they talk about this plumbing device, they usually imply a huge watering can be fixed on the ceiling. Multiple water pips is enough to cover the entire body of a person standing under her. It is clear that to get the same effect using a conventional nozzle fixed on the removable hose is simply impossible. Among other things, large splashing canes have a water supply mode switch, with which you can stand under heavy shower or relax under large rain drops.

Options for execution of shower systems

At first glance, the tropical shower, the photo of which is presented below, seems like a simple product, but it can be executed in different versions:

1. As panelsintended mainly for the shower.
2. As stands To receive water procedures in the bath.

Even the design of each of these options can be different:

1. Tropical rain panel. The model in this embodiment is the most expensive, since in most cases it has a hydromassage nozzle feeding with small jets. Some models of such panels have a number of additional options, for example, different colors backlight, radio and much more. Despite the fact that there is a similar watering of a tropical shower for the shower cabin, it can be used in baths.

   Installing a similar panel in the corner of the bath allows you to expand the functionality of the plumbing container. This model has an advantage of this combination in one body of watering can and the mixer.

2. Rack for creating a tropical rain effect. Such execution of the shower system is most optimal at the price and functionality. The rack, like the panel, is quite universal, so it can be installed, both in the booth and above the bathroom.

   In essence, the rack is a metal tube with fasteners for screwing it to the wall, at one end there is a splashing nozzle, which creates the effect of the shower of warm tropics. To tell the truth, this adaptation is very similar to the usual shower with a flexible metal hose, only in this case the nozzle is much larger. Such racks can be with a flexible metal hose feeding water or with a pipe through which water is supplied to the watering can.

3. Tropical Shower Mixer. The main difference of this device is the splashing nozzle with a diameter of 25 - 40 cm inbox. It is worth saying that due to the small width of the water flow that does not cover the whole body, from the device in this embodiment it is impossible to obtain a full effect of heavy rain.

   As well as the rack, the tropical shower with the mixer can be connected to a flexible metal hose or tube.

4. Shower watering can with tropical shower function. This option is the most profitable cheap.

   This nozzle can be created only like a torrential rain, since such a watering can be installed on the existing hose. Even if it is possible to achieve the desired flow of water, the resulting result will not be truly effective, but only slightly resembling a warm shower.

After studying the above systems, comparing their capabilities and prices, you can come to the conclusion: to receive maximum pleasure and benefits from taking water procedures, you need to make a similar device with your own hands.

Plumbing, which is attributed to the class of suite, is quite expensive. In addition, when it is installed, it is often necessary to pave additional pipes of the water supply, which will bring water to ensure the effect of the shower, which further increases its cost. But at the same time, models belonging to the elite class, many advantages: a significant size of a nozzle spraying water, a few shades of highlighting that can be switched and still a number of additional fairly pleasant options, for example, several irrigation options, remote control.

Today, some of the manufacturers are still less well-known, often offer relatively inexpensive showers advertised by them as tropical. In fact, these are the most common splashing nozzles slightly enlarged sizes, and water from them is fed by a simple jet, without mixing with air, so they can create the effect of the rain, cannot.

The benefits and therapeutic effect of the tropical soul

Some water treatment products are used for prophylaxis when disorders of the nervous system. For example, a tropical shower manufactured by OTLER; Reviews of it users on the pages of various sites once again confirm the qualities of this product .

Regular reception of them strengthens the body. The rods of warm water, massaging the body, give the skin elasticity.

Scientists have long been proven that light affects our body in the same way as odors or taste. The backlight depending on the color and wavelength can affect the person differently.

For example, to relax and tune in to relaxation helps shades of green, raises the mood of yellow color, and you can cheer up and mobilize the internal reserves of the body using a bright red. Thanks to the multicolored illumination, a person gets aesthetic pleasure.

True, in the future it is desirable to purchase a plastic curtain or a special curtain to protect the room from water drops.
