Moen cutting-edge Bathroom Showerheads
If you have a single-handed faucet in your home, you may have the Al Moen (founder of Moen Inc.) to thank for this unique invention. Moen has always been on the cutting-edge of plumbing fixture technology, and modern Moen showerheads are no exception.
The majority of Moen showerheads fall into two categories. Fixed (multiple setting) showerheads mount directly to the shower arm and are stationary. Handheld (multiple setting) showerheads connect to the shower arm via a hose and nut fitting, and can either be set in the showerhead cradle or maneuvered by hand to focus the shower spray wherever desired.
The handheld showerhead is a bit more versatile, as it can easily be used to bath kids, dogs or clean the shower itself. Seniors often prefer the handheld, because they can shower while sitting down.
Moen has recently introduced their "Inspire" line of showerheads, which includes both fixed and handheld models. One of the more impressive of the new ‘Inspire’ line is the octagonal-shaped 9-inch rain shower. This showerhead’s spray system is patented and appropriately named "InvigoRain", as it promises a most invigorating shower experience.
Typical rain showerheads are gravity-fed; the water delivered to the showerhead and trickles out slowly, with mediocre pressure. The “InvigoRain” rain showerhead is self-pressurizing, which forces the water out of the showerhead with three times more spray power than a gravity-fed rain showerhead.
Moen’s handheld showerheads are also extraordinary. The "Inspire" line of handheld models include a three-setting showerhead; a ‘relaxing’ wide spray, an ‘invigorating’ concentrated spray, and a ‘refreshing’ combination spray. The five-setting model has the relaxing, invigorating and refreshing settings as mentioned above, plus a massage and targeted massage setting. The seven-way showerhead includes the all the settings in the five setting model, but also has a massaging rinse and a hydrating spray.
One of the most popular of all Moen showerheads is the "Revolution". This showerhead has a patented water delivery system that is truly unique. The "Revolution" showerhead spins each drop of water, while simultaneously spinning the whole shower stream. This increases the flow of water, resulting in a high pressure-massaging shower. In addition, the drops of water are larger, creating a warmer shower.
The "Revolution" rain showerhead also has a feature, appropriately named "‘FreedomDial". This dial is located directly underneath the showerhead, thus allowing the user to change flow settings without disrupting the stream of water from the showerhead. This dial is fabricated from a composite material that one can turn easily when wet, without slippage. Moen’s "Revolution" technology is also available in a handheld model.
Moen showerheads can be ordered online at a plumbing supply websites as well as Moen’s website. Moen showerheads are affordable starting at about $30, and most all are extremely easy to install. Moen showerheads will attach directly to your ½ inch diameter (standard in almost all homes in the U.S.A.) shower arm.
Of course, Moen offers dozens of different showerheads, in various finishes (i.e. chrome, brass, white, etc), to suit your desired function and form. Moen boasts a lifetime warranty on all their showerheads; this includes the showerhead’s function as well as finish. Designed with appearance, performance and durability in mind, the Moen company trademark phrase “Buy it for Looks, Buy it for Life” accurately describes Moen’s showerheads.
