Recommend your shower head system (plus: is chrome out?)

[Anonymous]

I need to pick out a shower head system. Does anyone love theirs?

Also, I like the look of chrome but I’m wondering if that’s not stylish. Is brushed nickel the preferred finish? I may not live here more than a few years so I’m thinking about resale.

I love mine that came with the house. Separate handle for each shower head. No switching valves. Those do not work.

I also love that there is one temp. handle that controls them all, so I can keep it at the temperature I love. Now I cannot stand dials that go from Off to Hot. I am spoiled forever.

Chrome is never out. Classic.

I really like the High Sierra:

It saves a lot of water with no loss of comfort. I installed them in the whole house and now everyone can take as long a shower as they like.

"No switching valves. Those do not work" - weird comment. Of course they work.

I'm surprised by this because I move the temperature a lot during the year because the temp of our cold tap water changes.

Suspect I have the same setup, one thermostatic valve for setting temperature, and a quarter-turn valve for each showerhead. You still set the temperature.

I wouldn’t say it’s in right now, but it’s definitely not out.

I like the look of chrome, but bear in mind that it will get water spots INSTANTLY. Like you wipe it, it looks amazing, shower for 10 seconds, water spots everywhere unless you wipe it dry every time. It wouldn’t stop me from using chrome againx but I’d imagine some people would be bothers by that

If you think chrome hets water spots, I'll trade you my once-trendy black fixtures

Chrome is a classic. It will never be out. The water spots aren't all that noticeable.
Brushed nickel is ugly.
The Delta In2ition shower head came with my house and are fine to use.

Kohler- And Chrome is classic, never trendy and never out.

Speakman is the only shower head that actually delivers decent water pressure thanks to EPA fascism

I actually disagree and don’t love chrome. It’s cold, and nickel is much prettier because it adds warmth but still silver. I have this line in my house and love it
