Filtered Shower Head with 5 Spray Modes

See for yourself what comes out of your shower water

You turn the tap and water comes out. What you do not see are the rust particles from old pipes, the sediment and the chlorine smell you only notice once it is gone. This shower head takes a filter that slides in and gets replaced every 1 to 3 months, depending on your water. Slide it out and you see exactly what you have been standing under all along.

You will notice something else straight away: the air intake in the centre makes the spray feel fuller and firmer, even when your water pressure is nothing special.

Why you will love it:

• Replaceable filter that catches sediment and rust particles and helps reduce the chlorine smell
• Five filters included, so you are set for a long while
• Five spray modes, from a soft rain to a firm pulse
• Centre air intake for a fuller spray
• Stop slider on the handle: slide it up or down to pause the water while you lather, without touching the tap
• Multi-layer heat insulation
• Soft silicone nozzles you wipe clean with your thumb
• Fits a standard shower hose, swapped over by hand

The filter is half the story

The filter sits in the handle and slides in and out without tools. It catches sediment and rust particles carried along from older pipes, and helps reduce the chlorine smell you notice most on a long shower. You replace it every 1 to 3 months, depending on your water: the more it catches, the sooner you swap it. That is why five come in the box, and why refills are available separately.

Five modes, one thumb

Turn the ring and you move from a soft rain to a fine mist, a wide full spray, a mixed setting and a firmer pulse. Handy when nobody in the house wants the same shower, and the pulse mode is exactly what you want after a day in the garden.

Fitting it

Unscrew the old head from the hose, screw this one on, hand-tight. That is all: the connection is the standard size found on virtually every shower hose. If there is an old rubber washer in the hose, check that it is seated properly and nothing will leak.

Good to know

• The filter is a consumable: replace it every 1 to 3 months, depending on your water
• Run the head through for a moment after fitting, before you shower
• If you have an instantaneous water heater, check that it copes with a water-saving head

Frequently asked questions

Will it fit my shower hose?
Almost certainly. The connection is the standard size used in Dutch and Belgian bathrooms. Unscrew the old head and screw this one on by hand.

How often should I replace the filter?
Every 1 to 3 months, depending on your water. In a hard water area or a house with older pipes the filter fills up sooner. Clearly discoloured means it is time.

What exactly does the filter do?
It catches sediment and rust particles carried along in the tap water and helps reduce the chlorine smell. You can see what it holds back when you take the filter out.

Does it work with low water pressure?
The centre air intake mixes air through the spray, which makes it feel fuller. That is exactly what this design is for.

Can I clean it?
Yes. The nozzles are soft silicone: run your thumb over them and the limescale lets go. The filter itself is not cleaned, it is replaced.
