Here are a few reviewed;
And the type I am going to buy.

There was a time that I was so disgusted with shower heads that I contemplated machining my own. Worse, last week one of the holes in my commercial head got partially clogged and when I was rinsing the soap off my face with my eyes closed the errant jet kept hitting me off the side of my head. I thought it was a fly in the shower and started swatting at the darn thing!
Sorry for taking this off thread, the poor guy just wanted to know about water heaters and we've talked about everything in the universe but that!
