The inconveniency of the American bathroom
In America, there are many benefits for which people move there permanently. It's all made for people. But there are things you can’t get used to even after a few years in the United States. Today we will tell you what distinguishes the usual for us plumbing in the apartment from that installed in American homes and apartments.
Almost all expats in America necessarily change American plumbing for European. There are several reasons. The worst thing is with the shower. Often there is a mixer that simultaneously regulates the water pressure and its temperature.
The stronger the pressure, the hot water and vice versa. To achieve a comfortable temperature, you will have to turn on a large pressure that will flood the bathroom with water, like Sandy.
Are you used to a shower on a hose that you can pour yourself on top and side? It wasn't here. Very often in the American bathroom, the head of the shower is rigidly fixed on the wall.
Not only will the head be wet when necessary and not necessary, so the shower can not be turned. Each time you will be poured first cooled stagnant water, which could be drained if the head of the shower turned.
The drain of the tank in the American bathroom is made impossible uncomfortable. Usually there is a pen on the side, which you need to hold for a few seconds so that the water in the toilet accumulates, and he sucks up the products of human activity. If you don't hold this pen, nothing will wash off.
Tourists who have visited America say that there is rarely a brush in local toilets. It's all about siphon toilets. There is always water in the bowl, and also a powerful drain in them, which protects the toilet from contamination.
The hand wash is the pain of all visitors to America. The English have another problem. Almost all washers have a plug to draw water into the sink. And the mixer is regulated by two handles. On the left is a handle with hot water, it must be twisted more than a handle with cold water.
I wouldn't want an American type of plumbing. It would seem that the usual household things can plunge into a stupor, it is good though that you can always make repairs. Getting used to these differences is not easy, do you think?
