Large and small. Larger shower heads spread water over a greater area and therefore have less force. Smaller shower heads distribute more water in a smaller area. Multi-function shower heads have different settings and are ideal for washing lots of hair.

Lower-cost pressure balance valves have manual temperature settings, as opposed to more expensive thermostatic valves, which can be set once and regulate the temperature automatically.

This can add to the cost of the installation process, but it is well worth the flexibility it gives you to clean not only yourself, but also the shower area.

With an adjustable shower slide bar, you can enjoy even greater flexibility. Use the slide bar along with a multifunction hand held shower head instead of the shower head and save cost.
