Review on DELTA FAUCET 52161 PN H2Oknietic UltraSoak by Josh Montgomery

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice rain shower head but not the best for side wall use

We have a smaller Moen rain shower head in the master bathroom. But I wanted to see if a shower would improve the larger block. The Moen has been replaced by the Delta UltraSoak shower head. First, let me say that I wasn't quite prepared for how big this Delta shower stall was. This is a 12" x 12" square. It overshadows Moen's head. The polished satin nickel finish looks great and coordinates well with other bathroom fixtures. The installation is basically simple. have and still use it. The instructions say hand tightening only: no tools. I would say it's a good idea. The ring has dimples that make it look like a wrench could be used for final tightening. The wrench I used slipped out of the recesses and got stuck around the collar. Terrible time trying to loosen it up. Your experience could be better. After installing and turning on the water, the water output wasn't as smooth as I would like. Wait. The water coming out of the nozzles had a slight splashing effect. Because of its size, there aren't many options for adjusting the head. The beam just isn't pointing quite right at you, like it was in my case. with side stand. I think this Delta shower head is best used in a high ceiling position. Unfortunately, this is currently not an option for me. I disagree with the star rating. It should probably be 4 or higher. But for those trying to use it like I do, I think they might be disappointed in the performance, as was I. I would say if you already have a ceiling mounted shower head this would be a great option. If you have a sidewall mount, this Delta showerhead probably isn't for you.
