How do you turn on the shower? (Example 1)
This
has got to be the worst design ever
for a shower control. It is so bad there is a
sticker on the faucet giving instructions for
how to make the water come out of the shower
instead of the faucet. You'll never guess how
you turn on the shower. You reach under the
faucet,
grab the part where the water comes out
and pull down on it!
Design suggestion
This design is bad for a number of reasons. One is that nothing else works like this. Another is that the "control" for turning on the shower doesn't look anything like a control, so the control is basically hidden. Frequently, when devices come with instructions stuck on them, there is a problem with the design.
Reader's commentI used to have that awful shower controller where you pull down on the nozzle to turn it on. I had to tell every guest how to do it, and when we sold our house, we got a call from the new owners about 5 days later asking how to turn on the shower. They had been taking baths for 5 days! Unbelievable. - BL
