High-Pressure Anti-Limescale Gold Shower Head

The head is a disc 83 mm in diameter, with a total length of 210 mm according to the dimensioned photo. The handle flares into a spindle shape just under the head, then tapers to the connector.

The finish is a brushed gold: a warm, matt gold that goes with brass taps and fittings, gold handles or a screen with gold profiles. In the lifestyle shot, it sits in a square gold holder, at the end of a matching hose.

At 83 mm, the head stays compact: this shower head suits a small shower or a bath, where a large head knocks against the walls.

One photo shows a finger resting on the face: the outlets are small grey nubs that stand proud of the disc. That is where limescale settles, and also where you remove it, by rubbing them under the water, with no product.

The spray is single, in straight streams. The supplier calls it a high-pressure, anti-limescale shower head, without quantifying the effect: above all, remember how easy the nubs are to clean.

The photo in action shows well-separated streams, coming straight from each nub. This takes a few seconds; done once a week in hard water, it saves you having to dismantle anything.

The end piece has a G1/2 thread, the standard 15x21, as the arrow in the photo shows. It screws by hand onto your hose with its washer; no tools, no plumber.

The parcel contains the shower head only: a gold holder and hose are not stated. To keep the brushed gold, avoid scouring sponges and acidic limescale removers on the handle; a damp cloth and mild soap are enough. The supplier states a stainless steel body. If you are matching the shower, look for a hose and holder in the same brushed gold shade: a polished gold next to it would clash noticeably.
