Speakman Showerheads
My wife and I are in the midst of a major home remodel. We have replaced the kitchen already. One bath is in a state of bare walls, awaiting me to start laying tile this next weekend.
We like to tell people we’re testing how strong our marriage is. So far so good.
Anyhow, with all of this new stuff we’re buying we decided to splurge in a very basic, but very essential area: the showerhead.
Many folks don’t give their showerhead a second thought. They consider it to be an insignificant part of the world of plumbing.
However, I believe it’s the most essential part of the picture. A good showerhead needs to deliver the exact stream that you want. Intense needles to help you get going in the morning. A gentle stream to help you relax in the evening. And to have everything in between would be nice, too.
We opted for a Speakman Anystream S-2251.
The Anystream tells you it’s special when you feel it’s heft. It weighs two and a half pounds.
Once you get it installed, the experience of using it tells you why it’s worth three figures. It smoothly transforms from piercing jets to a gentle stream. It’s best to mount it so it points straight down. That accentuates the rain effect of the slow stream.
It has eight self-cleaning Lexan jets designed to last, well, forever. They transform into 64 needle-sharp jets if you are so inclined.
And when you use it, you’re using the same showerhead found in the Ritz-Carlton chain. Oh, the White House has them, too.
So today’s FamilyFirst site gives you an opportunity to spring for a bit of luxury in an area considered mundane by many.
Believe me: a luxurious shower is far from mundane.

I purchased a Speakman shower head S-2252-AF a shortwhile ago. I need some instructions for setting all of the settings in the head. I have misplaced or discarded the sheet that came with the shower head. It is not a hand held type. Has six jets with what looks like a screw in the center. Does that screw reset the head? The handle on the side of the shower head doesn’t make a strong enough spray for my liking. Thank you for your help. This is the third Speakman product we have purchased and we are very happy with them all.
