Hi,
we installed a square rain shower from IdealStandard. Lately, it has started dripping on its own more often. The last use was easily 12 hours ago. Sometimes only one of the outlets drips, sometimes several.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
Cheers
Martin

Alright, explaining or understanding a problem and actually solving it are still two different things.
I’ll try running water through the shower hose afterwards, but honestly, that sounds like a design flaw to me. It wasn’t necessary with our old shower.
Maybe I just have to fully accept the Amazon rainforest idea and pour sand into the shower. At least then it wouldn’t be so noisy.

We have encountered this or a similar "issue" with our "rain shower." After some time, water would continue to trickle out. This is especially inconvenient when the tiles (including the floor, which is also tiled) have already been wiped down and then water still drips onto them afterward.
We solved it in a very practical way: after showering, the rain shower head is tilted slightly. This lets all the water drain out. That way, the shower only needs to be cleaned/wiped once, and we no longer have problems with water dripping afterwards.

After showering, we pull the water from the walls and floor towards the drain. This takes a maximum of 2 minutes.
This helps the shower area dry much faster and minimizes the risk of unsightly water spots or limescale stains (unfortunately, our water is very hard) as well as potential mold growth.
In our rental apartment, we rarely wiped down the surfaces. Despite ventilation, there was sometimes slight mold growth on the grout and especially on the silicone seals. However, I believe people take much better care of owned property than rented ones. Looking back, it wasn’t ideal (with the rented items), but that’s just how it is.
When you invest so much money, you naturally tend to be more careful (at least that’s how it is for me).

Hello again,
the solution might be to tilt the showerhead after use.
If air enters at the top edge, water can exit at the bottom.
This way, air also flows into the shower arm faster.
Olli My thoughts exactly. We did the right thing intuitively.
