PRODUCT FEATURES
Experience a better shower with the control and flexibility of a Delta® hand shower. Great for showering yourself or your loved ones and pets, as well as for keeping your shower and tub clean. Delta® H2Okinetic® Showers look different because they are different. Using advanced technology, H2Okinetic showers sculpt water into a unique pattern, giving you 3X the coverage of a standard shower head. The end result is a shower that provides more coverage, more warmth and more intensity for a truly drenching shower experience. So go ahead and indulge, because now you can enjoy the feeling of more water without using more water. While other products may gather unsightly mineral build-up over time, Delta soft rubber Touch-Clean® spray holes allow any mineral residue to simply be wiped away for an instantly refreshed look – with no need for soaking or the aid of chemical cleaners. The pause setting gives you ample space for shaving, lathering and other shower tasks, then easily restarts the water with the temperature where you left off. This spray setting helps you conserve water, so you can worry less about depleting your supply of hot water - and you help the environment too. Delta WaterSense labeled faucets, showers and toilets use at least 20% less water than the industry standard—saving you money without compromising performance.
  • H2Okinetic® Shower technology sculpts water into a unique pattern, forming a powerful drench spray
  • Gives you the feeling of more water without using more water
  • Soft, rubber Touch-Clean® spray holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up from the spray face of your shower head and hand shower with the touch of a finger
  • Spray settings include: H2OKinetic spray, Massaging spray, and Pause
  • Pause feature reduces water to a trickle, giving you space for shaving, lathering and other shower tasks while maintaining your temperature settings
  • Includes 60-82 inch (1524 mm-2083 mm) stretchable metal hose
  • WaterSense® labeled showers use at least 20% less water than the industry standard—saving you money without compromising performance

Rated 1 out of 5 by from CHEAP- skip this product line Cheap quality and the paint chips
Date published: 2025-11-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Winner thus far Love that it slides up and down and tilts. Great for kiddos… Especially helpful for spraying the kids off after coming in from the lake. I love it since I’m super pregnant (8months) feel like I can spray off my feet/body without having to contort around my belly. It’s nice that you can switch up the spray too!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Delta Handheld I think this item is very expensive for what looks like molded plastic,I would not use it as a main shower head but as a handheld shower,the look is very contemporary not transitional.I believe it's appropriate for larger showers as a luxury item,yes I would recommend it

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not too impressed. The three streams this unit has are all pretty ho hum.. The first is sort of a massage setting but it doesn't pulsate. It just is high pressure. The second setting is worthless. The water just trickles out of it. No idea what that could be used for. The third setting is a misty sort of spray. Fine for cleaning the shower walls but not much use for anything else. I would pass on getting this unit.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Color is chipping Beware, I have been using this handheld shower system for about a year. I love the black color and the design but the paint has been chipping since it was installed. It has chipped so much that its very noticeable.

Q&A

I have three 51799 series hand shower units. &nbsp;Extreemly poor water flow. &nbsp;I understand designed for water conserving, but, I&rsquo;m on a water well and would prefer to have volume/pressure vs low stream. &nbsp;How can I alter ? &nbsp;I know this voids any warranty.

What&rsquo;s included? Head, hose, slide bar, elbow?

Asked by: White
Thank you for your question, White! Model 51799 comes included with the hose, slide bar and hand shower. The wall elbow would need to be purchased separately. Model 50570 would be the Delta wall elbow that best matches model 51799. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/50570 Best Regards, Benjamin

I have used this hand shower for about a year and a half and really like it/ The unit sometimes hangs between functions. The control button sticks and doesn't release. Is there a common cause for this and can it be easily fixed. Thank you in advance.

Does Model 51799 require a separate diverter valve?

Asked by: beach guy
Thank you for your question, beach guy! The answer to your question is going to depend on your desired and existing set up. Model 51799 would need to be installed with a Diverter valve, if another shower head is going to be used with this hand shower. If this is the only plumbing fixture you are planning on connecting to the valve, a Diverter rough in would not need to be installed. Feel free to contact us directly, if you need further assistance.
