The Speakman S-2252 Signature Icon is a wall-mounted, solid brass shower head featuring patented Anystream technology that allows users to adjust six precision jets via a rotating lever to create 48 customizable spray patterns across three modes. Designed for high-pressure performance, it offers a compact 2.75-inch face diameter and is widely praised for its durability and hotel-like power. Best suited for users seeking high-pressure showers in low-water-pressure homes.
The Delta Monitor 14 Series is a comprehensive shower system featuring H2Okinetic technology for enhanced coverage and five spray modes. Its primary trade-off is the lower 1.75 GPM flow rate and the need for a specific valve installation. It is best suited for households prioritizing water conservation, safety, and accessibility features.
