Size is a claim about your pressure, not about luxury · review
A compact 6-inch rain head that ships at 1.8 gpm and includes a 2.5 gpm restrictor for low-pressure homes, with 90 wipe-clean rubber nozzles.
1.8 gpm as shipped, the limit in California and several other states. A 2.5 gpm restrictor, the federal ceiling, for homes where pressure is weak and the law allows it. SparkPod also mentions running on the screened washer alone; that removes the limit, and may break a state rule.
For true straight-down overhead rain, pair with an S-shaped extension arm. A wall arm angles a rain head forward, so the water falls on your face rather than on your head. SparkPod says it. The Hibbent on this shelf ships with an arm for that reason.
6 inches is the smallest face here. On a weak supply, a smaller face keeps the drops heavier; for wide coverage, SparkPod sells an 8-inch version.

It ships set to 1.8 gpm, the limit in California and other states. A 2.5 gpm restrictor, the federal maximum, is in the box for homes with weak pressure where the law allows it. Removing restrictors altogether, which the listing also describes, can exceed those limits.
Not on a standard arm. A wall shower arm points the head forward at an angle; SparkPod says that for true overhead rain you need an S-shaped extension arm, sold separately. The Hibbent on this shelf comes with a 16-inch arm.
For head and shoulders, yes, and it keeps pressure up better than a large face on a weak supply. SparkPod sells an 8-inch version for wider coverage; the Voolan here is 12 inches.
Same category, nearby prices, between bathroom fittings. What remains is the specifications every one publishes — half empty, a column is no use.
