Please be advised that there is also an Venturi Effect air injected model, the Eco Air Croma E100 3 Jet, that is not recommended. It has different less effective turbo jet setting and the flow restrictor is almost imposssible to remove.
The 18 center jet setting provides the strongest force yet with thick individual streams of water. The rain setting isnt forceful but the 4" head provides decent coverage with massive water flow. The triple pulsating jet is OK for a massage setting.
I find I use both the rain setting and the power spray setting. One of my favorite showerheads that Ive tested.
The lever for changing the settings works with one hand easily and is built to last. Has a positive click action to let you know when youve hit the sweet spot of the next setting.
The 18 Jet center power spray is the main setting that I use for practical everyday showering. Thick individual jet streams that spread outward for body coverage. And whilst having a donut hole, it's not too objectionable because the it's not that wide of a cone. Perfect balance really on the spread even for shorter people. Really works well for rinsing.
Sometimes I dial it over to the rain setting for a moment of relaxing under the water flow. This setting doesnt give you a forcefull spray but it does give you a plethora of streams and a massive amount of water flow. Actually not too bad at rinsing either.
Good build quality.
Good selection of settings. Highly recommended.
All testing done with flow restrictor screen removed. With the screen it was pathetic.
PS - The Hansgrohe Croma C100 3 Jet performs the same with slightly different aesthetics. Also recommended.
PPS - These are also available in handheld versions, if that is something that interests you.

I just bought this showerhead based on your reviews, thanks by the way for all the effort. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to remove the flow restrictor? I removed the black sediment screen, and then the inner beige plastic piece that was sitting in the white plastic screen, is there any benefit to removing the white plastic piece that is still in there?
ReplyDeleteJust unscrew the white screen which is attached to the horizontal thumb nub which sticks out the backside of the connection. It's obviously made to be easily removed. Good luck. Sorry for the slow response. I have been busy and need to get back to working on this project.
DeleteHow is the showerhead working out for you?
