Pool showers are preferable luxury pool options for several reasons.
An outdoor pool shower is a great way to rinse away sand, dirt, and grass, keeping the mess out of the house and greatly diminishing cleaning. Likewise, swimmers rinsing before diving into the pool help keep the pool clean.
Pool foot shower fixtures installed near pool entrances remove the bulk of dirt and grass, one of the biggest soiling culprits.
A pool shower helps clean pool chemicals from bather’s skin, keeping it healthier.
A private pool outdoor shower - fully enclosed or installed in a pool house - can even be an asset with a houseful of guests, and more than one pool shower owner has reaped the benefits of using outdoor pool showers to clean large household items or pets..
Pool showers vary in function and design.
Sometimes a swimming pool shower is only meant to be a place to rinse before and/or after a swim. It might be a stand alone shower head, or it might be installed on a wall adjacent to the swimming pool. Shower head fixtures are sometimes installed on pool house or main house decks and porches, piped directly into existing plumbing..
Outdoor pool showers are also designed with multiple heads. A pool shower tower might be a consideration if you expect your pool to see a lot of use all at once. Pool shower towers were originally designed for public pools, but their useful, sturdy design have made them an option private pool owners take advantage of, too. Shower towers stand alone (usually on a cleanable concrete surface) and shoot water from two or more sides. As many bathers as there are shower heads can clean off simultaneously..
Pool showers are built from a variety of materials. What material is desirable for a pool shower design depends on its level of use and privacy.
Wood pool showers are made from rot resistant woods, like redwood. Sometimes wood showers are just platforms beneath pool shower fixtures that keep feet out of the mud. Other times wood pool showers are fully enclosed units. Wood constructions make it easy to divide one shower into two sides - boys and girls pool showers - while still keeping the two entirely separated and private.
Tile is an option as an interior pool shower surface. Water-safe pool plaster for shower interiors is another lining choice. Paints and other pool or shower finishes are often applied as decoration.
Any swimming pool shower head should be strong, weather proof, and made to withstand the elements.. A regular interior fixture is not a good choice for the pool shower. A self back-draining feature is preferable to protect the unit from freezing in winter. Piping needs to be strong so that it does not bend from a quick grab or when wind-whipped.
