Universal Anti-Limescale Shower Head

The fourth photo details the five settings: massage, rain, bubbling, rain and mist, rain and massage. You switch from one to another with the lever sticking out from the edge of the head.

The massage jet concentrates the water at the centre for the neck and shoulders; the rain spreads over the whole surface; the mist envelops without lashing the skin, pleasant for children.

The face is fitted with raised grey nozzles arranged in rings. If a white deposit appears, rub them with your fingertips while the water runs: it is the simplest upkeep gesture.

The diagram gives 4″ in diameter, about 10 cm, and 3 ¼″ in height, about 8 cm from the connection to the face. It is a compact head, which suits narrow showers and shower baths.

A ball joint under the connection allows about 30° of tilt either way: you aim the jet at your body rather than at the wall.

The body is stated to be chrome-plated ABS, which keeps it light at the end of the arm, without bending an old wall outlet. Its discreet format leaves the view of the tiles clear and does not dominate a small bathroom.

The connection is G 1/2″, the standard 15x21 of shower arms. Unscrew the old head, wind a few turns of PTFE tape onto the arm's thread, and screw the new one on by hand before a final quarter turn with a spanner, protected by a cloth so as not to mark the chrome.

The shower arm and rosette that appear in the first two photos show the head in situation: they are not listed in the parcel.

No plumber is needed if your arm is already there. A simple flat seal in the connection is enough to prevent leaks.
