Comments (2)There are a number of companies that make the body sprays. I have the Hansgrohe Bodyvettes but there are lots of others. Some are real jets and others are more gentle. Some can be turned off individually with a stop feature (which is nice). There are a diversity of viewpoints on body sprays. I happen to really like them and use them all the time in conjunction with my rainhead. I like the feeling of getting the water from the sides as well as the top. We also have a third handshower which operates separately but we don't use it simultaneously with the rainhead/body sprays. So it sounds like you would be configuring so that you could use your regular head together with the sprays. As I said, while there are many fans of the body sprays, there are also lots of people who think the body sprays are a novelty or useless. If you are going to use them, look for the following features: (1) stops at the spray itself so you can turn each particular one on or off if you want to, (2) adjustability so that you can control the angle and (3) ease of cleaning. Also make sure that you position the sprays in the right place vertically and so that you don't have them aimed at your shower door....See MoreBody sprays/body jets--are they worth it?
Comments (11)I put in the handheld for a couple of reasons, one is that the hose allows the head to be moved around and hung from other points in the shower. Example; I have a head bracket in the wall down low, my wife sometimes hangs the head on that when she's shaving her legs, etc. Or the hose allows you to easily use the head to rinse down the walls and floor of the shower. Some people use it to wash their kids or even their dogs. One thing I learned a few years ago is that handhelds are no longer the cheap leaking showerheads that I grew up with back in the 70s. Hand held heads are now the same fine quality shower heads that go on a shower arm, except they're mounted on a (ta da!) handle. The only caution I'll offer is that rain heads have a gentle flow, it's not the vigorous spray that typical shower heads provide. Some people with long hair would find rinsing shampoo from their hair to be a slow process. So don;t plan on a rain head as your "main" shower head....See MoreHeavy bodied paint + sprayer...
Comments (3)Sprayer was found to have several issues. It has a LCD readout with a knob (potentiometer) for adjusting pressure. The numerical value shown in the LCD is NOT line pressure but simply a numerical value. The line pressure was obviously dropping. Tomorrow the sprayer will have a new pump kit. The pop-off valve was also found to be faulty and not allowing full pressure. Yes on the screening sierraeast....See MoreContemporary kitchens getting outdated??
Comments (13)Beautiful kitchens beachlily and sixtyohno. Thanks for the advice. I think my likes are influenced by exposure but I'm pretty slow to hop on the band wagon of current trends and i definitely don't change furniture ( or accessories for that matter) every 10 years. I guess I just don't want to make a "mistake" because I don't plan on changing it again for a long time. I think both kitchens work in this house as it was built late 90s. Can anyone comment on how the painted white wood cabinets hold up with time. We currently have builders grade cabinets and some of the finish is wearing off, especially by the stove and sink area. We've lived here for about 3 years but it was already wearing by the time we moved in. As an aside it took me about 4 hours to lightly sand the grime and grease built on the laminate counters and cabinets...nasty!! First thing we did was put in a much better vent hood. An advantage with the painted wood is if I really do get bored, I can repaint them another colour. (Won't need any major overhaul since i'll already have the best functioning kitchen--from input from GWers). Anybody have any pisc with those glossy type cabinets? What are they made of anyways? How's the maintenance? Sorry, I'm not really knowledgeable about this stuff...yet. Really in the preliminary stages and I'm glad I found this website. One of the post I read was the best advice is to plan, plan and plan....See MoreSue 430
