Massaging Shower Head: A Doubly Comforting Bath

Handheld shower head is not a novelty any more. Almost all the people should have come across one in their lifetime. What has been the real innovation with such products is the massaging shower head. This product combines that handheld shower head with a handheld massage system. In this way you can have both a shower and a massage at the same time. These shower heads are available for prices less then $150 and they use batteries so electric shock risk is not present.

These devices are made to be powerful yet safe. One of the major design concern in manufacture if these products is that it is necessary to keep the water and electronics part separate. While not easy, it has been made possible because of the employment of some crafty engineering. Today a powerful shower head with massage capability is easily available at really low prices. At the time of introduction, they were priced as high as $500. Now you can find a powerful shower head for around $100.

A number of technologies have been used in these shower heads but the true milestone was the deployment of air injection technology. An air injection shower head truly incorporates both your bath and massage. You can enjoy both at the same time. This combined experience of both a bath and a massage has been unparalleled and never in the past was the integration to such a degree was achieved. You have to experience the thing. Words are too limited to explain it.

One more technology that is being used here is high pressure shower. High pressure shower head is specially designed to improve the pressure with which the water impacts on your skin. In this way it can become a great addition to both the shower and the massager. This is a mass produced product. You can easily purchase a high pressure head for price as low as $75 to $100.

Primarily these shower heads have been made of plastic. The main reason was of course water. Not only do we have to ensure a long life of the shower head, it is also required to keep the shower and massage subsystems separate. Plastic being a bad conductor of electricity and extremely resistant to moisture damage is the perfect choice and it is more affordable. Some companies have also made brass shower head but such products are expensive even though easily available.

In order to make the entire thing more and more usable, the current focus of industry is on making flexible shower head. Such a massaging shower head would be easily usable because it can access most of the parts of body, even some of those parts like dead center of your back, which are not generally accessible without considerable effort.
