Ionic Shower Head Buying Guide
When it comes to getting the best ionic shower head, preference counts for a lot. Here are some things to consider while you shop.
Water Flow
Some want to save money on their water bill while some prioritize having high flow in the shower. If you are of the former camp, opt for a shower head with a 1.8 GPM flow. If you are of the latter camp, 2.5 GPM heads would be good for you.
Installation Process
In general, you’re not going to want a shower head that requires special tools. Most kits should not need a wrench at all or will at least provide a special wrench.
Silicone Nozzles
In our experience, silicone nozzles are the easiest to maintain. They stand up to lime-scale build up well and rarely need a cleaning.
