Aeration massage. This shower head mixes air with water. Because of this, an illusion of a high-flow stream is created even though it is actually low-flow. Since part of the stream is air, aeration shower heads use lesser water and have been categorized as eco-friendly, andtermed as water-saving or low-flow massage shower heads. A brushed brass shower enclosure, shower fixture or piece of bathroom hardware seems to be high on many bathroom wish lists these days.

You will also come across dual or integrated fixed and hand-held shower heads.

Brass in general is a metal that resists rust and corrosion, hence why it is used internally with taps and showers even if it isn't used on the surface. Water entering from the faucet into the shower head creates a small reservoir before it comes out of the head. This builds pressure in the reservoir, which throws out water with force. The small openings of the shower jet compound the force of water. It can be regulated or calibrated with multiple controls. Good for low-pressure water-flow. When the jets are weak, you can bring the shower head closer to your body for a strong and more guided water-flow. Even with low water pressure, the rainfall head will deliver a steady flow of water droplets upon your head. Perfect for shampooing or for rinsing off the rainfall head is a wide showerhead poised well above your average bather. Permanently mounted on a crooked pipe, the bright coppery color of the brass fittings will shine against a white, tile bathroom wall.

And it isn’t some sort of weird add-on to your regular shower – it is built right into the side of the pipe that feeds the rainfall head.

It first flushes out the cold water from the shower head and then stops the water flow until it is 95° F hot. Hence, when the water flow stops, you know hot water is available in the shower head. Only then do you turn on the shower head valve, saving much energy and water too.

Caution: Shower heads cannot incorporate RO systems in their structure for technical reasons. Beware of false claims made by some manufacturers in this regard.
