原文： I got this for my master bathroom where my wife and I never agreed on what type of showerhead to get. I prefer the wider ones, while my wife prefers the handheld ones where you can detach it from the wall. This is the best of both worlds... one unit where we are both happy.
Installation w
as quick and easy. The unit is very solid, and impressively built. The button and switches are sturdy with a positive 'snap' to them. The showerhead is held in place by a strong magnet which works very well.
As for the water pressure, I've installed countless showerheads over the last couple of decades... I can't remember the last time I saw a showerhead without a restrictor designed to reduce the flow of water. Years ago they use to explain how to remove them in the installation instructions, but not anymore. This showerhead includes one as well and is easy to remove (see attached photo)...
1) Remove the swivel adapter (AKA ball fitting) from the back of the wide sprayer by unscrewing it. 2) Inside the swivel adapter, you will find a rubber washer with a metal screen filter... remove it by prying it out, but be careful not to damage it. 3) Behind the rubber washer/filter is the lavender-colored flow restrictor. Push it out from behind (wider end of the swivel adapter). It may take a good push, but it is only held in place by friction. 4) Replace the rubber washer/filter and reinstall the swivel adapter.
This procedure is completely reversible. Also be aware that removing the restrictor will increase water usage as well as power usage since your water heater will have to work more.
Overall, one of the best showerheads I've ever used, and easily the most convenient.
原文： I think my shower has low water pressure, but this shower head does well. Took away a star because the materials are plastic where they could have been a better materials, and would have appreciated a little piece of teflon tape to be included to make the install complete from the package.
原文： First thing out of the box what I noticed is that it's almost all plastic...for a $135 shower head...really? I realize that there are a lot of shower heads that are way more than $135 but I'm sorry if I am going to pay $135 for a shower head, it needs to be made out of better materials...shame on yo
u Delta. I was always told how great Delta was, maybe they're coasting on a reputation. The hose for the hand held was outstanding, a real quality hose. It's metal outer and had some stretch to it. It also had a little heft to it and bent really easy.
The main reason that I didn't like it and sent it back was because it leaked terribly and did not have good pressure. In the attached picture, I have an arrow pointing to the area the leaked. It was more of a spray than a leak. it was even spraying over the shower curtain. The water was coming out of that joint in about 4 places. I tried to tighten it and it made a minor difference but there was still a lot coming out and I was really cranking on it, was afraid that it might break.
I attribute the low pressure to the leak as well. Maybe without the leak, the pressure would have been okay. When it was on the setting that was the large outer ring only, it worked well but I didn't care for that mode only. There was a big empty space in the center without water. The mist mode work also. All of the other modes were weak.
Amazon's return process was lightening fast. They emailed me a paid return label, I boxed it back up and sent my daughter to the UPS store. Amazon sent me an email within about five minutes of my daughter dropping it off at the UPS place indicating that they had just refunded my money!
原文： This shower head was a disappointment. I also have the Delta 58471-PK (catchy, huh?) which is all H2Okinetic sprays, instead of a mix like this one. Despite the silly name, the H2Okinetic nozzles really are something special. They send out these bigger globules of water that are rotating around in d
ifferent directions. It gives the effect of a spray of water hitting you over a large area instead of tiny little jets like this model.
The 54480 has conventional sprayers on the outer circle. These put out thin, high pressure streams. I didn't find them particularly pleasant. The middle, hand-held piece has three of the H2Okinetic nozzles and more of the thin ones. There is also a focused spray in the middle that is pretty much worthless with our water pressure. Maybe it works better if you've got a firetruck feeding your plumbing.
The overall spray pattern covers a large area mostly with little streams. Only in the center do you get the effect of a wall of water. My wife and I didn't find it relaxing and also felt cold because there is a lot of area between the streams that isn't getting water.
We'll be going back to the 58741 and if you are considering purchasing I recommend you do the same.
原文： I really like the look of this and the option to have a hand held and overhead at the same time, but there is barely any water pressure when both are in use. It now takes longer to rinse shampoo out of my thick hair. I ended up putting the outer ring on “pause”, which seems to help increase pressure
from center portion, but it’s still not optimal. The handheld part releases and attaches smoothly; I’ve experienced no issues that others have stated. The brushed chrome finish looks nice at first, but I’m noticing that water spots tend to accumulate and not wipe away easily. I will eventually be changing this out; my disappointment is greater than I anticipated.
原文： This unit installs easily and looks great in the shower. It is only 2.5 gal/s flow, which doesn't give that strong water pressure feel. I ended up finding a video online that shows how to remove the flow regulator (which took two mins) and now it feels great. The pause function is fairly useless, bu
t the removable handle is magnified which is convenient, and the hose is plenty long. Overall I'm very happy with this unit, as long as you're ok with moderate water pressure or the DIY fix I mentioned.
