Product Information
Full details
This Speakman Anystream shower head is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and effective shower experience, particularly those with low water pressure.

FAQs
What does the 2.5 GPM rating mean?
GPM stands for Gallons Per Minute. A 2.5 GPM rating indicates the maximum amount of water the shower head can flow per minute, which is a standard flow rate for many fixtures.
How do I switch between the different spray settings?
There is a simple side handle on the shower head. Move this handle left or right to transition between the Intense, Rain, and Full Flood spray settings.
Is this shower head suitable for very high water pressure?
While designed to work well with low pressure, it should also function correctly with standard or higher pressure. The Anystream technology helps regulate and optimize the spray regardless of incoming pressure.
How often should I clean the self-cleaning plungers?
The self-cleaning plungers are designed to resist buildup. Regular cleaning of the shower head's exterior and occasional rinsing should suffice. Only deep clean if you notice a significant decline in spray performance.
What material is the shower head made of?
This specific model is constructed from solid brass, providing durability and a premium feel.
Does this shower head come in other finishes?
Yes, Speakman offers this Anystream shower head in various finishes, such as polished brass, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze, to match different bathroom styles.
What is the warranty on this Speakman shower head?
Speakman typically offers a limited lifetime warranty on their shower heads. Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Weak water stream from one or more settings
Check for mineral buildup in the nozzles. Gently clean the nozzles with a soft brush or toothpick. Ensure the shower arm connection is secure and not cross-threaded.
Shower head leaks at the connection point
Remove the shower head and reapply plumber's tape to the shower arm threads. Ensure the shower head is screwed on straight and tightened appropriately (hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench if needed, but do not overtighten).
Difficulty switching between spray settings
Ensure the handle is being moved firmly and completely to each position. Sometimes, initial use can be stiff; a few cycles might loosen it. If persistent, check for any obstructions around the handle mechanism.
Shower head feels loose on the shower arm
Re-tighten the shower head onto the shower arm. If it continues to feel loose, check the integrity of the shower arm threads and consider replacing the plumber's tape.

- Offers three distinct spray patterns for versatile use.
- Effective at providing a strong stream even with low water pressure.
- Durable solid brass construction ensures long-lasting use.
- Self-cleaning features reduce maintenance needs.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This shower head typically screws directly onto a standard shower arm. Ensure the shower arm is clean and free of old sealant. Hand-tighten the shower head onto the arm, and use plumber's tape on the threads of the shower arm for a secure, leak-free seal. Adjust the shower head's position as needed.
Compatibility: Designed to fit standard U.S. shower arms. It operates effectively with 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute) flow rate, suitable for most plumbing systems. It is particularly beneficial for low water pressure environments.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean the shower head regularly. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. The self-cleaning plungers help prevent mineral buildup within the nozzles, but occasional gentle cleaning of the nozzles might be necessary if flow becomes irregular. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the brushed bronze finish.
