What are smart showers?
Smart showers make the standard showers much smarter! Smart showers are showers that have a digital display control, voice command or smartphone app to control the water’s temperature, flow rate, duration, outlet and a lot more. In comparison to the standard showers; with handles that need to be twisted to control water flow and temperature, these smart showers are a technological advancement that coincides with development in other areas. In this time and age, it is time you also shift to the smart shower technology.
Types of smart showers
Smart showers may differ in terms of temperature range, electricity or battery power, and the number of outlets the shower has.
Temperature range varies between different brands of smart showers. Some will have 60 F to 120 F but for those who like to have cold showers, this range might not be appropriate because it can only cool water to 60 F. ranges between 50 F to 100 F are a better option for those who prefer cold showers but also want a warm enough water supply to have a comfortable shower in winters.
Most smart showers are electricity operated but only some also have an alternative battery system that acts as a backup in cases where power shortage might cause problems. What happens if the power goes off while you are bathing? Some smart showers may be able to switch to battery power to control the valves while those which rely solely on electricity will turn of automatically.

The outlets are paths for water flow. Number of outlets also varies across smart showers. You would need only two outlets; one for hot and the other for cold water, if you have only a shower head and a handheld shower hose. On the other hand, if you also have a body spray system, you would need the 4-outlet system.
