Delta Rain Shower Head Reviews

Delta Faucet 52158-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head

The first rainfall shower head from Delta that we want to review is the Delta Faucet 52158-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head. As you already know, if you read our introduction anyway, this is not our pick for the overall best Delta Rain Shower Head.

However, this is still a very good way to start off the article in our view because this shower head really demonstrates the sort of quality that you can get when you go with a Delta product. They are a top tier manufacturer of shower heads for a reason and the 52158-25 shows what they can pull off.

First off, this is the first circular shower head that we are reviewing. As you will see from our review list, rainfall shower heads can come in one of two styles, circular or square shaped shower heads. This is the former. As far as circular options go, the Delta Faucet 52158-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head is actually quite wide.

As you will see from other reviews on this list, a wide rainfall shower head is great because it helps to disperse the water more widely and create a more natural rainfall feel. While smaller rainfall shower heads can have some advantages, wider ones give you an experience closer to what you would get in a hotel.

This is a very well-made shower head overall and it is reflective of the sort of high-quality shower heads that Delta makes. It is made of a combination of stainless steel with a chrome finish. This helps to keep the shower head working well for years and years. A big issue some shower heads have is that while parts of them may be well-made, other parts are not.

Many shower heads try to get away with having a well-made body, but then weak connectors. That is definitely not the case with the Delta Faucet 52158-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head. It not only has a well-made body, but it also has a durable metal connector that isn’t going to snap or break.

Another thing to keep in mind is how adjustable the shower head is. Not every shower head is equally adjustable, which can cause some issues. Again, the Delta Faucet 52158-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head impresses here because it is a highly adjustable option. You can adjust it so that it is positioned like a regular shower head, at an angle, or completely over your head.

Delta Faucet 52159-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head

If you pay close attention to the product name, then you may notice that this next entry on our best delta rain shower head shares quite a bit in common with the product name of the last Delta shower head that we looked at. In fact, the only thing differentiating them is a single number.

The first Delta shower head was the 52158-25, while this one, as you can see is, the 52159-25. The main difference between the two is their shape. The Delta Faucet 52159-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head is the first square shaped shower head that we are going to be reviewing.

What advantages do square shaped shower heads bring to the table? Well, there isn’t too much of a difference in overall performance. However, square shaped options like the one that we are reviewing now do tend to be a bit bigger and they also have more holes.

All this means that the water ends up being dispersed over an even wider area, which contributes to a more therapeutic, rain-like shower. It also has the negative effect of drastically increasing hot water usage, which is something that you are also going to want to keep in mind.

Aside from the difference in shape, there isn’t a whole lot that we really need to go in-depth about when it comes to the Delta Faucet 52159-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head. This largely shares the same features as the 52158-25 that we reviewed earlier.

To give you some examples of what we mean, consider the design of this shower head. It is made from the same mixture of tough steel and sleek chrome. Likewise, the 52159-25 is also equipped with that really useful durable metal ball to help keep the shower head firmly attached. Finally, it can also be easily adjusted to fit whatever angle you like the best.

Overall, the Delta Faucet 52159-25 Single-Setting Metal Raincan Shower Head is the sort of high-quality shower head that we have come to expect from Delta.

Delta Faucet Single-Spray Touch-Clean Rain Shower Head

Moving on with our review list, we are going to be taking a look at the Delta Faucet Single-Spray Touch-Clean Rain Shower Head. This is the second square shaped shower head that we are reviewing as part of our best Delta Rain Shower Head article.

So, to a certain extent you are going to be going into this review with a good idea of what to expect from the shower head. However, this particular entry from Delta does have some fairly unique features that make it a great option for its own individual review on this list.

For starters, like all of Delta’s shower heads, the Delta Faucet Single-Spray Touch-Clean Rain Shower Head is incredibly well-made. The bulk of the shower head is made using extremely tough, reliable steel. You can trust that the shower head will hold up through years and years of extremely heavy use.

Sadly, unlike the previous two products that we reviewed on our best Delta rain shower head list, this one does no feature that signature sleek chrome finish that we have come to appreciate. So, if having a really sleek, shiny shower head matters to you, then you better look elsewhere as this probably isn’t the option for you.

In addition to being very durably built, the shower head also performs extremely well. Since this is a large, square shaped shower head it really disperses the water to create a light shower experience that is more akin to standing in a light rainfall than standing in a shower. It is a great option for those looking for a more therapeutic experience than is offered by your typical shower head.

One unique feature on the Delta Faucet Single-Spray Touch-Clean Rain Shower Head that we haven’t seen so far on any other shower head is the presence of easy to clean nozzles.

If you use a shower heady for any substantial length of time, it is going to start developing build-up that interferes with the flow of water. This build-up usually takes the form of minerals, hardwater, and more. With some shower heads, cleaning out this build-up can be difficult (we will cover why later).

However, this Delta shower head makes it super simple thanks to some easy to clean nozzles. Rather than having to take apart the shower head and submerge them in cleaning solution, you can just wipe the nozzles clean. It saves you a lot of time and effort.

Delta Faucet Vero 14 Series Single-Function Shower Head

The next entry from Delta that we want to review on our best Delta Rain shower head article is a really unique looking shower head called the Delta Faucet Vero 14 Series Single-Function Shower Head. If you are looking for a deeply stylish shower head option that is also very functional, then you owe it to yourself to check out this shower head.

Even though not everyone will consider it to be of the same value, the first thing that we actually want to start off talking about is the overall look of the shower head. So far, every shower head that we have reviewed for our best Delta rain shower head article has been sporting a metal or chrome finish.

While that suits the vast majority of people, we imagine that at least some of you will want something different. That is where the Delta Faucet Vero 14 Series Single-Function Shower Head comes into play. This shower head features a nice, brass finish that almost resembles gold. It can give your shower a more unique and different look.

Something else that is extremely unique about the Delta Faucet Vero 14 Series Single-Function Shower Head is a built-in temperature control system. Depending on how your house’s plumbing is set up, you may be one of those people who has to suffer through constant temperature fluctuations due to people flushing toilets or people turning on sinks in different areas of the house.

With this Delta shower head that isn’t a problem. The shower head automatically detects sudden temperature changes and regulates the water to keep it at roughly the same temperature that you had it set at before the disruption.

Outside of that, the Delta Faucet Vero 14 Series Single-Function Shower Head is a pretty standard square shaped rainfall shower head. It features that reliable Delta construction that will ensure that the shower head lasts for a while. It is also a surprisingly simple shower head to clean.

Delta Faucet Single-Spray Rain Shower Head RP62955

For the final review on our best Delta rain shower head review list, we are going to be doing a review of the Delta Faucet Single-Spray Rain Shower Head RP62955. This is a fairly well-made shower head and one that we have no issues recommending overall. We will say upfront however, that this is a cheaper Delta shower head option than the other options that we have seen so far.

To help achieve that lower than average price, Delta clearly had to compromise somewhat on the quality of the shower head. It is still a well-made option, which is why it is being featured on the list in the first place.

Like we said in the introduction to this review, one of the main reasons to go for this particular entry from Delta is because how inexpensive it is. At the same time, it still features pretty much of all the classic Delta features that you have come to expect. For example, it still comes equipped with easy to clean nozzles.

Rainfall Shower Head Buying Guide

In this second part of our best Delta rain shower head article, we want to quickly go over what to consider when buying a rainfall shower head. The purpose of this guide is to focus on what features you should consider when shopping and why.

Shape

As you saw from our review list, rainfall shower heads come in roughly two different types. Circular options and square options. On our list, we generally featured more square shaped shower heads, but there isn’t actually much of a performance difference between the two shapes.

Square options tend to be a bit bigger and thus disperse the water more (which is better for creating a therapeutic effect). However, this isn’t too big of a deal and you should feel comfortable going with whatever one fits your shower better.

Size

On that note, we should talk about size. Some low-quality manufacturers will try to get away with selling smaller shower heads (under 10 inches) as “rainfall shower heads.” However, this really isn’t true.

Rainfall shower heads are generally always on the bigger side. Most are at least 12 inches, if not larger. The larger a shower head, the more therapeutic it is going to feel and the more water it will use. If you see something being labeled a “rainfall” shower head that is smaller, then you should avoid it as it isn’t going to be all that different from a regular shower head.

Durability and Overall Construction

Something that we focused on quite a bit during our best Delta rain shower head review list was the importance of making sure that you buy a shower head that is built to last. Assuming that you are sticking with Delta shower heads (and why wouldn’t you after reading our article), then this isn’t a problem that you really have to worry about.

Basically every Delta product that we could find (and every product that we reviewed) was made from super high-quality stainless steel. Stainless steel is, of course, a very tough and reliable material.

So, you don’t need to have any concerns about durability if you go with Delta. Of course, if you go with another brand, then you are going to have to pay attention to make sure that the product is well-made and that the shower head will actually hold up during repeated use.

Nozzle Cleaning

As we mentioned once or twice during our review article, every shower head needs to have it nozzles cleaned. It is an unavoidable fact that as a shower gets used, tiny minerals are going to start building up inside the nozzles.

This mineral build-up will ruin the flow of your water and it will make your rainfall shower head nearly useless. So, you need to clean your rainfall shower head, that is unavoidable. What can be avoided is unnecessary hassle. Some shower heads are designed to be a whole lot easier to clean than other shower heads. In particular, you want shower heads that don’t need to be taken apart to be able to be cleaned.
