Speakman S-2251-PN Signature Icon Anystream High Pressure Adjustable Solid Brass Shower Head, Polished Nickel

La mejor regadera, durabilidad y calidad.

Purchased this on a lightning deal a few days ago, and installed it this weekend. Even after the lightning deal price, I was still a bit hesitant to spend this amount on a showerhead but took a chance on it anyhow. First impression after removing the shower head from its box was how heavy this showerhead is. It feels like a nearly solid chunk of metal as heavy as it is. I suspect this showerhead will have a long life based on the seemingly solid materials and build quality. As an added bonus, since the jets extend and retract when adjusted this seems to also provide a bit of self-cleaning action that removes some deposits and prevents the jets from clogging as easily. I read other reviews about removing the flow restrictor, but decided to try it first as-is. It was a decent performer with no modifications, especially on the finer spray settings, but it did seem to be lacking adequate flow on the heavier sprays. The black o-ring inside the neck is indeed the flow restrictor that needs to be removed. Was not able to remove it without pulling out the 4 white teeth as mentioned in another review. Pulled out those 4 white plastic teeth, removed black o-ring, and reinstalled. Water flow probably doubled. The heavier sprays now had some reasonable pressure, and the finer sprays almost felt like small needles hitting my back (but in a good, massaging sort of way). After removing the flow restrictor, I had no doubt this shower head was worth the price. Bottom line, this looks nice in my shower, it is heavy and well built, it provides a generous flow of water after removing the flow restrictor, and is easily adjustable to suit most anyone's shower style. I highly recommend, and will purchase more in the future for other showers in my home.

This is possibly the best SHOWER HEAD I have ever owned. Very easy to install, a woman can do it.

I experienced the Speakman Anystream in several fine hotels, and was truly impressed with the flow rate & soothing feel of its water stream. It recently came time to replace an also-excellent Moen shower head, so I went with a Speakman Anystream (polished brass). The shower head is beautiful, heavy brass construction and absolutely simple to install. The only question, as debated & commented on in several reviews, was whether to remove the small o-ring flow restrictor as well as remove the little plastic plate that the o-ring is seated on. Removing the o-ring without damage looks (& is) simple -- just use very fine needle-nose tweezers or perhaps a toothpick. I first tried the Speakman straight out of the box with no mods. This did not result in the "fine hotel" experience I remembered. I then removed the o-ring; this produced excellent soothing, non-stingy flow... just as I had remembered. Believe me, with this simple non-destructive mod, there's nothing wimpy about the flow rate. I'm not sure who would need more flow, unless their water pressure is just awful. My old Moen shower head had a similar o-ring & plastic seating plate mechanism, so I tried an experiment. First, I removed its o-ring; this improved the flow, but the shower experience was markedly inferior to the Speakman. I then used a surgical retractor to attempt to remove the plastic seating plate in back of the o-ring. The plate promptly broke. Given the excellent performance of the Speakman with its o-ring simply removed (a reversible operation), I would definitely NOT remove the little plastic plate in back of the o-ring.

I’ll keep this very simple. I generally DO not write reviews. This shower head was so good I had to take time out of my schedule to give you all insight. I purchased more than 5 different shower heads over the years in an attempt to get a stronger flow. I purchased the 2.5 GPM brushed gold...This shower head will literally leave you Standing under the water just to be there. Women, you will love it because the flow is very strong like that hose stuff they use at the salon. I will say, I removed the restrictors from the shower head. Go to YouTube... type in the shower head name and type “Speakman shower head restrictor removal .” The water flow is very intense and covers me entire body. I am 5’10 200 lbs and I have broad shoulders. Pros : it’s a little pricey ( but totally worth it ) Easy as anything to install and I am definitely not a handyman on any level. Best shower head by so far. Cons : your shower times will increase by a lot You’ll be and the same head for your other showers
