hansgrohe Showers: A Spray Mode for Every Mood

Unsatisfied with your current shower? Before you start shopping for a complete replacement we think it's certainly worth taking a look at your shower head.

Responsible for directing the flow and spray type of your shower, shower heads often come equipped with changeable spray modes that can completely change the feel of your shower.

A brand new shower head can even be retrofitted to your current shower, completely rejuvenating it with several new spray modes. These variable modes, usually changed via twisting or pushing a button on your hand shower or overhead shower, can drastically change the feel of your shower’s jets.

With all kinds of users in mind, hansgrohe’s innovative shower designers have put a strong focus on creating more than 14 spray modes in order to cater to specific needs. So, with so many spray patterns to choose from, we thought we’d pick out a handful of our favourites; as well as our recommended hansgrohe shower head options.

The Diverse Spray Modes of hansgrohe’s Showers

Each individual in your household is likely to want something different when it comes to showering. Fully aware of these distinctive needs, hansgrohe has put emphasis on allowing you to tailor showers to your liking through a diverse range of modes.

The majority of hansgrohe’s showers feature a handful of these unique spray types built into a single hand shower or overhead shower. These heads are changeable on the fly, usually through the use of their intuitive ‘Select’ push-button technology.

If you’ve never tried it before, you’ll be amazed at just how drastically you can change your shower experience by tweaking its spray types. To demonstrate, let us elaborate on three unique modes from hansgrohe’s range:

Massage - A concentrated massaging spray, the Massage setting provides a great means of relieving tension after long days at work and intense sessions in the gym. Especially effective around the shoulders and neck, the revitalising and refreshing mode firmly kneads the skin to mimic the sensation of receiving a massage.

IntenseRain - For luxurious, invigorating showers. IntenseRain is our favoured spray type for washing hair with its strong and concentrated flow having just the right amount of force to rinse out shampoos and conditioners with very little effort. Its intensity provides an energising shower in general, perfect for those who enjoy starting their days with a shower.

TurboRain - In need of something more powerful? The TurboRain spray mode offers pure exhilaration. A refreshing effect reminiscent of heavy rainfall, this mode is our go-to for those times where revitalisation is needed. It can also double up as an effective spray type for rinsing the shampoo out of particularly thick hair.

None of the above modes catching your eye? Luckily, hansgrohe showers boast over 14 spray types across their extensive range. These include RainStream, CaresseAir, IntenseRain, Massage, Mono, Rainflow, Mix and SoftRain.
