showers can be deck mounted for use in a shower bath or work as a part of a covered or exposed unit.
A power mixer is similar to a normal mixer shower. Many people utilise an additional booster pump in order to create high pressure from the
shower. They are known as power showers.
Electric showers are widely used in homes where there is a shortage of hot water created by a boiler. In contrast to mixer and power showers,
electric showers draw water from cold water supply, where it is heated using heating elements within the shower unit.
Digital showers are the latest types of showers. They work in a manner similar to mixers or power showers, but they provide you with greater
control over temperature. These showers are suitable for use in modern as well as traditional homes.

large parts or remove food residues. However, you may find it tough to soak a large casserole dish as it requires handwashing and rinsing of china or
stemware.

farmhouse, double farmhouse and built-in drain board. If you require a lot of handwashing to be done on a daily basis, the you will need to an in-built
drain board would be the ideal option for you. Sinks are of various types such as stainless steel, porcelain, granite composite and natural stone. If
you intend to give your kitchen an authentic look, then porcelain sinks would be the ideal option. They are available in different types of colors.

from stainless steel are highly rated for the quality of sanitation, design and durability that they offer.

sinks drain opening to work in a proper manner. Measure the opening so as to ensure that you acquire the right size drain, or check the instructions

the right size. Check the instructions of the manufacturer that are provided with the sink. They should also include the matching drain size. Grid
drains have small holes which cannot be closed. Therefore, they offer a consistent water drainage. The price of bathroom sink drains continues to
vary. Therefore, a thorough study of existing price rage can prove to be handy. Opt for a drain that compliments with the sink.

However, the drain should also match with the faucet and sink . In fact, a drain with a different material or finish works well with sink or accent. Brass
drains are the most widely used sink drains because of their looks and durability. Bathroom sink drains are available with or without overflows.

proportion, youll acquire a solution which is considerably acidic and scrub it away without scratching the metal surfaces. You can easily remove
rust with light scrubbing from a rag which has been dipped in cola while cleaning chrome fixtures.
Soap Scrum Removal from Chrome- Soap scum is another bathroom maintenance issue, but using the right solution, you can ensure that the
chrome fixtures do not look dirty. The simplest method to break down the soap scum is by scrubbing the fixtures using a dryer sheet. Whether the

brass cleaners available in the market, they wont provide you with good cleaning than a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice.

and high temperatures which can damage products.

Sinks - Bathroom sinks are often more dirty than kitchen sinks . Though sinks are used for flow of all food traffic, they have disposals and in-built
bacteria to break them down. Therefore, clean it thoroughly once in a month. Scrub it off, soak it in vinegar and then wash it with drain water. This
process will help in removing mold and gunk which can be built in there without a proper cleaning. Dont forget to check the area the fixtures for

Drains - A lot of buildings are equipped with floor trench systems, floor drains and wash & service bay areas which allow liquids to drain away.
Buildings which are not connected to a municipal sewer system normally make use of an on-site wastewater treatment such as septic system, drain
field or dry well. Once wastewater gets collected in the separator, petroleum products including fluids and oils float at the top and heavier materials
such as sand and sludge at the bottom. This isolates petroleum products from wastewater, which gets discharged between top and bottom layers
before sewering. In case the separator isnt installed, petroleum products might accumulate within the sewer system. This can cause high
concentration of explosive vapors on manholes or sewer lines or petroleum wastes or other solids plugging the sewer.

Discharging a large amount of oil or solvent wastes into the sewer might interfere with sewer line maintenance, proper functioning and safety of
wastewater treatment plants. The permitted discharges are highly regulated by sewer authorities. Sludges that get accumulated in the separators
can contain organic contaminants & heavy metals, which are regarded as hazardous waste. In order to reduce and check issues with separators, you
need to ensure periodic inspection and maintenance. You may face a challenge in renovated buildings. Separators sometimes a clean-out service and
arrangement of proper sludge disposal.

Pipes & Fittings - The sealant and grout around the shower cubicle need daily frequent scrutiny. Because of constant exposure to moisture and heat,
the grout is often vulnerable to wears and cracks. Therefore, you will need to make sure that the grout is intact and free of mold . Apply oxygen bleach
in order to clean mold, mildew or grout stains. In case you find indication of missing grout, clean the area, dry it and apply new grout.

accumulation behind and under the walls. If you are not sure about the leakage extent, get in touch with a plumber. The toilet and bathtub need to be
caulked to the bathroom floor to check leakage from the fixtures. Make sure that the toilet flush works properly and that there are no blockages.

chemicals get in touch surface of tanks, cisterns and water closets, then wash it off using water. Utilise appropriate measures in order to avoid injury.
