Hey guys. I have a probably rather unusual question regarding shower heads/shower sprays.
A few months ago I bought a new shower spray from Hansgrohe, specifically this Pulsify Select S model. Compared to my very old, completely run-down shower spray, the shower head of the Hansgrohe part is almost DOUBLE! as large in diameter.
But to my harsh disappointment, the width of the spray is abysmal and causes my body not to get properly wet while showering.
Why is that? Although my old shower head was only 7 cm in diameter compared to the new one with 11 cm, the surface with the nozzles was rounded on the sides. This caused the water jet to open up quite a bit when showering, resulting in an overall wider spray.
The new one, on the other hand, is completely flat and all the nozzles shoot straight down. The result is that despite the much larger surface and more nozzles, the spray is too narrow, which has been incredibly annoying when showering ever since, because I constantly have to move back and forth to get properly wet.
My question now is, so as not to throw 30-40 euros out the window again: How do I even recognize which shower head has a suitable width for the spray? Because even if some shower heads are rounded, that doesn’t mean that the nozzles are angled. It may still be that they are all aligned straight down.
It may sound like a small thing, but it annoys me terribly and a replacement is necessary. I really don’t know where to start. I can’t find any information anywhere.
It would be great if someone of you had an idea or maybe some expert knowledge in this area.
Thanks in advance and best regards!
P.S. A rain shower, in case anyone suggests it, can’t be properly installed here. Rental house, half-timbered, and anyway only a bathtub in which I shower.
