Chrome Shower Head

I was wrong. I needed to replace my shower, and went for this under-$20 item with the thought that I'm risking too little, and can replace it if it doesn't satisfy me. Oh boy. It's a high-quality item, similar to those sold in home-improvement stores. My reviews usually include "Pros" and "Cons"; this time there is no cons. This is just a quality shower with a variety of patterns.Of the 6 patterns, set by 6 detents on the dial, one extreme position closes water flow almost entirely to a drip. It's a nice feature to save water, and may be enough for shaving, too. Another, the opposite extreme is a mist spray. The other 4 patterns are various jets. One of them is quite powerful, rather for cleaning the tub or the shower, or it can give you a much needed massage of specific points in the muscle after a sports exertion. The remaining 3 settings are for various strength of jets for regular showering.When you open the package, you may find that the large nut is too tight. Leave it for the last: you may hand-tighten the showerhead holder on the wall outlet pipe by hand. If it's loose, you'll need wide-jaw pliers to tighten the whole assembly on the pipe; if it's tight, you may loosen it a bit after hand-mounting. Use a strip of the earthquake drawer liner between plier jaws and metal, otherwise you'll scratch it. Do NOT use pliers on shower hose ends: these are designed to be hand-tightened. A tiny dab of KY jelly on all gaskets during mounting will prevent torsion when tightening and extend their life.Do not overtighten the main outlet pipe mount! This is the main cause of failing gaskets. When it's tight enough, quickly mount the hose and the shower, set it to the almost-closed position (clockwise to the end, IIRC), and SLOWLY open the COLD water valve. If water is dripping from the mains connection, tighten it 1/4 turn and check again. When you don't see a single drop of water growing at the connection, turn the nut 1/8 of the turn, and you're done. This is common to any shower mounting, not this particular one. What sets it aside is (1) you may nearly close the water flow at the head, which helps leak-checking and (2), believe it or not, there is a spare gasket in the box!There is also a small roll of white Teflon tape, but if your main outlet threads are in a good shape and the open end of pipe has uneven surface, you won't need it: it's the gasket that makes a connection water-tight. Anyway, it was super nice of the manufacturer to include these little widgets just in case you'll need them!

GPM Flow Control is easily removable which makes this shower head a FIVE STAR product for me......oh yeah It's Affordable too

works great still using

Best I have tried. Quality is good and all settings are usable.

Easy to set up, long enough hose, pressure fine, settings for spray useful. Only complaint is that it’s very heavy

Works well; no complaints

I purchased this because it looked identical to the handheld shower head I already had, which was sold under a different name. My current shower head was leaking at the junction of the handle and hose, and inserting a new washer didn't work. So, I was thrilled to find this twin...until I used it. The water pressure was about half that of the one I had used for 3 years!After removing the shower head, I saw a flow restrictor embedded into the handle. Apparently, this is necessary for shower heads sold in California. I found online a way to remove the disc: use a power screwdriver to place a long screw into the middle of the restrictor. Then, using pliers, carefully pop out the disc. I believe I'll actually save water; when I tried this shower head with the water restrictor, I spent a very long time rinsing the shampoo & conditioner out of my hair than usual.The price was great...less than $20, which enables customers to get a new shower head & hose rather than cleaning limescale off an old head (and rust off the hose). If you don't like the look of plastic, however, you should look elsewhere. I think it looks great and makes holding the shower head easy.

This is my second time purchasing this as I wanted it for my other bathroom. Great value, works great and love the different settings.
