Faucets Today

Faucets for the kitchen and bath are available in one or two handle models and come in a variety of styles. As a homeowner, deciding what style you want to install is just as important as knowing how to repair it once it is installed.

Washerless faucets reduce leakage problems that result from worn out washer valves because they do not contain washers. These faucets are relatively easy to repair, because most new models have a water-control mechanism inside a replaceable cartridge that you can repair yourself easily.

 
Compression faucets function when the lever that is attached to a threaded spindle is turned. When the spindle is moved, it the washer is pressed against a finished ring that surrounds the flow opening to shut off the water flow. If the washer and ring do not make a tight contact the faucet will leak.

Shower Power

  Massaging Shower Heads:
Massaging shower heads use water pressure forced through a diverting valve to create one or more pulsating water actions. Users can vary the amount of pulsating pressure or force to their liking. Also, massaging shower heads can be hand-held or permanently mounted.

Standard Shower Heads:
The majority of standard shower heads have full range adjustable sprays. One knob controls both water temperature and water flow. This allows water temperature to be set permanently. Water can be turned off, then on again, without changing the temperature setting.

Continental Showers: A continental shower head is a versatile wall and hand shower combined. Top quality brands feature on-off flow control built into the handle, a brass pushbutton diverter valve that permits instant switch from shower head to hand shower, 6' flexible hose and hang-up bracket.

Changing a shower head is a project many do-it-yourselfers take on. Whether you are trying to create a spa-like retreat or searching for a new look, FixtureUniverse.com has a shower head that is perfect for you!

Going Green… in the Shower

Are you looking for a way to pamper yourself in the shower and save water too? Switch to a hand-held showerhead. Studies show that over three billion gallons of water flow through mounted showerheads each day and half of it unnecessarily. Most showerheads use twice the water needed for a thorough shower. 

Hand-held showerheads have a no-clog spray to allow for an even distribution so you can enjoy a refreshing rinse more quickly by directing the showerhead right where it's needed while still saving water. The hand-held showerhead also allows water to travel a shorter distance between the showerhead and your body, keeping the water warm and invigorating.

Whether you are looking for a pulsating massage or just a fine spray, shop FixtureUniverse.com for a vast selection of energy-saving hand-held showerheads.
