PRODUCT FEATURES
Replacing your shower head is one of the quickest, simplest upgrades you can make to your shower. Our shower heads feature a wide range of styles and innovations, and install in less than 20 minutes - no special tools required. Ultrasoak® Spray mimics dense natural rainfall to provide an intensely saturating shower. Using advanced water-sculpting chips, they generate a cascade of water drops that saturate and soothe in a shower that feels like more water. Step into the storm and step back out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. 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. Delta WaterSense labeled showers 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
  • Water-sculpting fluidics chips produce more saturating coverage
  • Mimics the sensation of dense natural rainfall
  • 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
  • Installs in minutes

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shower head Wonderful shower head. Low flow for California. You can sing in the rain! (only alone with the door shut).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Their spray technology helps out low GPM regulations. Being in Calif. the GPM is regulated. Otherwise it's nice. The escutcheon is very tight. It's not coming down but also hard to get tight to the ceiling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great rain shower Love this shower head. At first I was not used to the flow of the rain shower but I have gotten used to it and it is very relaxing. Have not had any problems, looks amazing in my shower.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rain Head Loving the rain head. Makes a big difference when taking a shower.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No pressure. I hate this so so much. I really wanted to love it. Reno’d 3 bathrooms and chose this beautiful head. It feels like 40 drips of water on you. Takes a long time to wash the shampoo out of your hair. I feel sorry for humans with thick hair. Do not buy. Beautiful look, absolutely no pressure.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointed I wanted to love the Delta waterfall shower. It looked amazing in my bathroom, and I couldn't wait to take a shower. I hopped in after installation expecting to be wowed, but I was really disappointed. It had no pressure. I have long hair, and it seemed like it took forever to rinse the soap out. Maybe if it was installed in a bathroom that was meant for leisurely showering it would be better, but it didn't fit with my quick morning routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another amazing Delta product I love this Delta railhead showerhead! It looks super slick and on-trend, which added an updated look to my bathroom instantly. It's very easy to wipe clean, but the best part is the installation. Totally simple for someone like me (a novice at DIY projects), easy to follow instructions--you can't get much better than that. Highly recommended!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice faucet The Delta Rainshower Head is a nice addition to any shower. The nice, gentle water flow creates a relaxing bathing experience. It's powerful enough to get you clean yet gentle enough to feel like a gentle rainfall.

What integrated diverter and trim (i.e. one piece) would I need to operate this unit and a hand-held shower (model 57530) mounted on a slide bar. Color needed is chrome.

I have a 17 series mixing valve with the diverter controlling shower head hand held and DELTA-FAUCET 52161-RB2 rain head should I use a pressure balancing loop on rain head

Asked by: Delta plum24
Hi Delta plum24, Thank you for your question about Delta Faucet RP54870RB! We are happy to assist you! No, looping the showerhead can cause the connection to have a lower flow. Body jets are the only product that can be installed with a loop. We look forward to better serving you in the future. Please contact us directly if you need further assistance!
