Waterpik RainFall Showerhead with Adjustable Arm, Chrome #JP-130

The 9-inch swing arm is of good length, but could be longer. It is not very easy to adjust though. The tightening screws are not strong enough to support the weight of the arm and showerhead. You need to tighten these very hard to keep the showerhead in place, so the "arm adjusts for personalized positions" statement isn't true, unless everyone has strong hands.

Otherwise, everything is perfect. The finish is great, it looks very good, and it will make you feel like, as much as a showerhead can, under the rain.

I had previously tried Waterpik's other rain fall like showerhead the WaterPik CF-201. It was horrible, the arm wouldn't hold its place and the one I recieved had this horrible leaking problem that was probably due to its largely plastic construction.

With low expectations of the Waterpik brand, I stumbled upon this gem. The JP-130 looked a lot sturdier than their other model. Upon recieving it, my initial impressions were true, fantastic! The chromed metal gave it a distinguishably elegant look that no plastic showerhead can give. The swing arm actually, when adjusted properly actually stays where you want it! The spray pattern is a very soothing gentle stream. It doesn't pack a lot of pressurized punch like some other heads do. But I wasn't looking for that.

My only gripes if I had to point out any would be the need for possible a longer swing arm. The 9" arm is more than suitable for most people. But I'm 6'1" and it'd be nice to have a little more range. I definitely couldn't imagine having to deal with a shorter swing arm. Next, it's not really a problem, but I hope Waterpik eventually makes a newer model with an even wider head. The 60 nozzles do a pretty good job of covering my entire body if I stand still, but moving around a little puts parts of my body out of the stream. An extra 1" or 2" would be nice, an extra 3-4" in diameter would be the superb! Regardless of the other reviews, I didn't find adjusting the knobs as hard as other reviewers made it out to be, maybe it's just me? After reading what others said, I expected to give each knob my "death grip," but they didn't need it.

Overall, you simply can't beat this showerhead for money. I'm sure it's even better than more expensive showerheads. For something that people use multiple times a day, 7 days a week, it's money well spent!!!

We have only had this showerhead for one month. Already the nozzles are clogging. The spray has become more like pins and needles than a gentle waterfall. Do NOT purchase this product if you have hard water.

I got this showerhead for Christmas and am really happy with it!! It's really a pleasant experience to have the water raining down on you.
I do agree with the other reveiwer that the adjustable knobs are tough to get to stay in place. But with mine anyways it stays in place while I'm using it and it's only later that it slowly lowers down. Then I just move it back into place and tighten the knobs again when I want to use it. It hasn't been any trouble so far.
I love this showerhead so much that I'm actually already looking for an even larger one!! I highly recommend these "rainfall" showerheads!!


Great quality and action for the money.   January 14, 2008

I live in the southwest US, where the last remnants of the Colorado river's water is piped into our homes before it sludges its way into Mexico. I'm sure there's harder municipal water out there somewhere, but I've never seen it.

The showerhead installed *very* easily, and stays exactly where I put it - I don't think the head is too heavy for the leverage - even full of water. I'm pretty sure the pipes are brass and the head is chrome-plated plastic, but it looks terrific. It's been in use by three people a day for over a month and doesn't show any hard water build up. (I'm sure it will someday, and I doubt it will clean up very well, but hey, the price is right.)

Oh, and my water pressure's right at 80 PSI, so I had to unscrew the 5" black sprayer disc on the bottom from the rest of the (chrome) head and remove the restrictor (brown plastic, I think) to get a decent flow. There's a screen (white plastic, I think) on the top which didn't affect the flow, so I left that in - hey, maybe that helps the nozzles not get hard-water clogged, and taking the (lower) brown restrictor thingee out helps them get cleared (by the force of the water coming out stronger every time).

Regardless, it's clearly worth the $25.
