hansgrohe Clubmaster 4-inch Showerhead - Easy Clean & Install, 3-Spray Settings (Full, Pulsating Massage, Soft Spray) with QuickClean Technology in Brushed Nickel Finish (Model 28496821) - Perfect for Modern Bathrooms & Spa-Like Shower Experience

A plumber turned me on to Hansgrohe 25 years ago (I remember him saying "this showerhead will change your life" LOL). Not sure about that, but it is by far the best I've ever owned.We have hard water and the smaller shower heads (ie the ones that come with the set) were clogged and didn't provide us with good water pressure.I ordered a couple of the Hansgrohe Clubmaster and installed them. I'd recommend getting some Teflon tape for this, as it makes installation easier and prevents leaks. I just used a pair of pliers and a microfiber cloth to protect the finish of the showerhead. Righty-tighty and it's on. Great pressure & we love having the 3 different settings because my wife likes a different setting than I do. And, most importantly the hard water doesn't affect the flow of this head, which I believe is due to the Hansgrohe self-cleaning functionality.They aren't cheap, but at least in my experience plumbing fixtures are things where you get what you pay for.I can see why so many people swear by this shower head. It really is special assuming good pressure and restrictor modifications. Nice gentle spray with lots of warmth. Pressure without that pins and needles feeling (i’m looking at you aqua elegance).However, you will be moving your body side to side constantly trying to keep your shoulders warm. Try a Moen 6230 to minimize that issue.I tried this again and the solution is to mount it very high up. If you can it’s a great shower head. If not maybe you can do better. I ended finding in a hotel room and I can say even though I bought the Moen I really do see why this shower head is so loved.I hated my two year old shower head. It just never felt good (it had little tiny holes that sprayed too widely so it didn't feel like a massaging warm shower). This one uses more water (yay for me) and has a wonderful, gentle spray. Hard to get out of the shower. I can't believe how much this has changed the quality of my life.Great Showerhead. Had to replace it because the other Clubmaster only lasted 20 years. First thing you do is remove the black rubber strainer. Turn it counterclockwise to remove it. You will keep this part as is allows the showerhead to seal to the water pipe without leaking and also captures any water sediment. Next you put on some eye glasses or goggles. Then you take a needle nose pliers and remove the 6 point star shaped metal grommet. This grommet was pressed in under tension and will spring out when removed and could hit your eye if you are not careful. Now use the needle nose pliers to remove the plastic flow restrictor. Then reinstall the black rubber strainer turning it clockwise until you can't turn it any longer. You are now good to go.Another great product that I learned about while staying at the Atlantic Hotel/spa in Ft Lauderdale. Great shower head, worth the money.I mostly bought this for the massage setting, and mistakenly assumed it would be a good one since it’s one of the more expensive shower heads available. Even after removing the internal pressure reducer, the massage setting is very disappointing. I guess I got spoiled by the massage setting on my previous shower head, that cost 1/3 the price of this one.I've spent hundreds of dollars on shower heads over the years. Some I like for a few months, others I can barely tolerate for a week. This Hansgrohe beauty will be in my shower for as long as it lasts, which should be a lifetime given how well it's constructed.I find each of the 3 spray settings useful, but the main setting is the best spray I've ever felt. So many streams and some are angled inward a bit more than others so you get a huge, full spray pattern that gets me rinsed in record time. And those streams aren't prickly or stingy like from some of those air-infused, water-saving shower heads. These babies are big and strong (be sure to remove the flow restrictor). The other settings are a strong 3-jet massage spray and a gentle, faucet-like rinse. As much as I like the main setting, I do use the others occasionally.I'm also a big fan of the sleeve that goes over the shower connection, which takes the place of plumbers' tape. Saves time during the install, looks cool and no leaks whatsoever.The Clubmaster is expensive, but you truly get what you pay for. Besides, it's hard to put a price tag on waking up to the best shower possible - every day.This is a nice quality product. You can tell this the moment you open the box. It is substantial and feels very well made--typical German engineering. I remove the flow restrictor as my wife and I indulge ourselves from time to time and we live on a well, so I don't feel as environmentally non sensitive as I should. The massage feature sends a blistering force spray at you. The soft feature sends a "garden hose" type dump on you. I thought my wife would like this soft feature for rinsing her hair but the answer was no. We both felt that the soft and normal feature really could have used a bit firmer spray. The massage sends water flying off your body and all over the bathroom. I have yet to try it with the flow restrictor installed, but will soon. I think this showerhead is going to spend its life at the normal setting and I wish it had a bit firmer pressure there.Recently purchased and installed this shower head. Initially was shocked to see the pressure so low. I was very disappointed. I then did some research and figured out that there is a ring inside and a plastic device that restricts the flow. Surprised they dont mention this in the installation instructions. Once i removed that the pressure was perfect.Excelente productoVery nice spray and water pressure with volumer limiter removed (easy to find instructions on how to do this on line). Recommended.Have tried many shower heads and tossed out my Koehler and went back to HansGrohe.The best shower headProduct as expected
