Drench-Type Shower Heads
12 Answers
Mrs JtH and I are having a new shower fitted.
We are considering buying a shower unit which has both an overhead drench and a regular shower head/hose fixed to a rise and fall pole.
Every Drench head we have seen appears to be set about 12 inches away from the wall (this is the centre of the shower). This seems awfully close......I don't want to stand in a shower with my bosom in contact with cold shiny metalwork so that my head is underneath the drencher.
As I have not been able to go and stand underneath one in a showroom, can anyone confirm whether my perception is incorrect, and that drench-showers are a 'ggod thing'. Many thanks.

We have what you’re describing JTH, and ours is probably a bit more than 18” from the wall. It’s also over a bath and even taking into account the slight slope of the bath, there’s no issue with any of your bits pressing on the cold tiles.
Ours is run off the hot water system, which has a large hot water tank but we have found, when we have visitors (it’s in the main bathroom, we have an electric shower in the en suite) if long hair is washed and conditioned, or if a longer than normal (whatever normal means) shower is taken, then the hot water can run out, as a lot of water gushes through it. It’s not called drench for nothing :)
Personally, I wouldn’t have another, nice as they look.
