Grohe New Tempesta 100 Shower Rail Set 3 Sprays

Removed the flow restriction from within the the rose handle connection, for a much better flow rate.

As expected from a top brand

"This is a good quality shower, made in Germany, at a reasonable price. The main issue which lets it down is the hose, which is grey plastic 'garden hose' type, and quite stiff, and only gets marginally more flexible with hot water flowing. This hose is quite long, so for a wall mounted mixer tap the 'drip loop' looks OK and the calcium build up in this area would be easy to clean on the smooth hose. For a bath tap shower attachment, this hose is way too long, and even though just a plastic hose, the end fittings are swaged on so can't be cut to length. The rail itself is very sturdy, and supplied with decent size stainless steel screws and wall plugs. The instructions do show gaskets for the tiled surface for the rail mount posts BUT there's a picture of the package with a X.....which presumably is a long way of showing NOT SUPPLIED ! The hollow design of the rail support posts does not block water from running into the them and towards the wall, so without the gasket, it's best to seal the posts to the tiled wall with silicone. The 3 spray shower head has a narrow jet spray, and two more gentle wide spray patterns, but these two are so similar as to be no different, except one makes a slightly louder hissing noise. It's supposed to aerate the water, but not enough to notice. The rubber nozzles look good quality, nice & firm, not flimsy, so should last a long time ( I've seen some others which get eroded away over time). In summary, a nice kit for the price, but if used for a bathtap attachment, you'll probably end up wanting to buy a better hose to make it look as nice as the rest of the kit. "

Products as described.

"As far as shower rails go it's not a bad quality rail and has the added benefit of three different spray patterns, could only have been improved if the hose was the flexible metallic type rather than the silver rubber type that doesn't bend or hang as nicely."

Good design looks stylish, excellent quality and good value
