Life Cycle Testing for Shower Heads – Ensuring Long-Lasting Durability
At Makeshower, we understand that shower heads must withstand daily use for years.
Our life cycle testing evaluates the durability, wear resistance, and long-term performance of shower heads to ensure they meet the expectations of hotels, apartments, and residential customers worldwide.
We test both chrome-plated and stainless steel shower heads, simulating repeated daily usage over extended periods.
What is Life Cycle Testing?
Life cycle testing simulates real-life operation conditions to measure how long a product will last before failure.
For shower heads, this includes:
Continuous water flow cycles
Handle rotation and button activation
Hose bending and extension
Wear and tear on surface coatings
By simulating thousands of cycles, we ensure that every product performs reliably over time.
Testing Procedure
Our testing procedure follows strict international standards:
Simulated Usage Cycles – Repeated activation to mimic daily use for years
Flow Performance Monitoring – Ensure consistent water flow throughout the product life
Surface Inspection – Check for peeling, corrosion, or wear
Functional Testing – Handles, diverters, and connectors must work flawlessly
