The shower set is made of a combination of metal and plastic materials, distributed as follows: the shower head and the rod supports are made of plastic; while the faucet and the vertical bar are made of metal, but both materials are of good quality, strength and durability.
In addition, its installation on the wall does not have major complications, so you will probably not have problems with the assembly, in case you want to do it yourself.
However, the shower head is adjustable in height due to the vertical bar it incorporates and, as it weighs 3.5 kg and has minimalist dimensions of 69.5 x 17 x 17 cm, its installation is quite simple. Although it is advisable to install it with a specialized technician, to avoid any failure in the placement.
Technology
When we talk about shower columns, we must look for those that provide technology that allows us to control the flow of water, as well as regulate the temperature level, so that the experience in the bathroom is relaxing, pleasant and friendly to the environment.
In this sense, it should be noted that the Grohe Precision Start shower column has EcoJoy technology, which allows you to reduce the water output in a controlled way, so you can save on the consumption of this vital liquid. Meanwhile, the thermostats are built with this brand’s TurboStat technology, allowing you to maintain the appropriate temperature for a comfortable shower.
On the other hand, this shower column is one of the cheapest in this type of tap system, since it has a fairly affordable price and can be adjusted to most pockets. In addition, its quality is backed by the Grohe brand, being a durable and resistant product, so according to the opinions of users satisfied with their purchase, it is one of the best value for money shower columns that you can find on the market.
Shower System Operation
As for the operation of this shower system, you should know that it is quite simple, because on the left side of the tap you will find the knob that is used to regulate the water flow; while, on the right side, it has the knob to control the temperature level.
Among other interesting features, this shower column has the possibility of regulating the temperature at 38ºC, keeping it stable if you prefer it that way, although if you want a hydromassage of heat you can increase the water temperature to 43ºC, as it has a button in the same command that allows it.
The same happens with the water outlet adjustment knob. If you press the corresponding button, you have the alternative of saving water with the same efficiency, since the flow of liquid that comes out of the shower is limited, which is beneficial because it would not use more water than you need to shower and it is not wasted this vital liquid.
Finally, it is important to highlight that this shower system is not designed to be placed in a bathtub, because it needs other accessories for its operation, which are not included with this model, which requires an investment of additional money to achieve the correct installation.
