Bathroom shower faucets used to be the weak link of the entire bathroom because sooner or later you were bound to get a leak, either from the exposed handle or behind the wall. In many cases if the problem was internal you would never know until water stains appeared on the ceiling below. Then, the unhappy homeowner had to tear out the walls to get at the leak, hire a plumber to fix it and then re-tile the whole shower.

Bathroom showers and faucets have come a long way in the past forty years. Showers are constructed with trap doors to get at the water and the mechanisms are a lot simpler. This also saves the fear of getting scalded in the shower when someone flushes the toilet. The new valve systems have automatic equalization for both cold and hot water and eliminate this dangerous occurrence.

Even today you have to be very careful on what shower equipment you buy for two reasons:

• Dependability
• Cost of Installation

Plumbers cost a lot of money and so having a cheap model installed may cost more in labor than having a better faucet installed simply because he or she may have to fiddle with it in order to get everything to fit. This has suddenly made your bargain more expensive that a good quality system like The Moen Exact Temp Vertical Spa Set. These are preferred by plumbers because there are no surprises such as pipe that may have to be bent. With a cheap faucet there is always the problem of having it fail in a few years and then the process will have to be repeated at more cost. Moen products are based on a cartridge system so if a part wears out the assembly is simply replaced in a short time.

The new style of showers are becoming more versatile for both comfort and cleaning ability. The wall mounted shower handles and adjustable water jets not only gets you clean but gives and amazing massage in the process. The  The Moen Exact Temp Vertical Spa Set is reasonably-priced and makes you want to spend more time in the shower!.
