Cobbe 20‑stage hard water shower head — 6 modes 🚿

This square shower head from Cobbe combines high pressure performance with a multi-stage filtration system to soften hard water and reduce residual chlorine for gentler skin and shinier hair. It suits daily showers and pet rinsing where water quality is a concern, offering adjustable spray patterns for different needs.

Key Points

The head integrates a 20-stage filtration cartridge that mixes KDF, calcium sulphite and mineral beads to capture chlorine and some heavy metals according to the manufacturer, which may help reduce skin irritation and dryness. The large square panel delivers a rainfall sensation while an internal pressurisation mechanism and silicone nozzles boost flow, making it practical even where household pressure is low. Two of the shower modes give a focused massage for rinsing shampoo or for a quick clean, while other modes provide a softer, aerated spray that can save water and still feel full. Note that the filter element is preinstalled and should be replaced every 3 to 4 months or when flow decreases.

Usage Recommendations

Switch between modes with the single-hand button to adapt the spray quickly, which is useful when washing children or pets. For households with very high pressure, the included flow restrictor can be left out for a stronger rush, but consider using it if the high force causes discomfort. The silicone nozzles are designed to resist limescale and make cleaning straightforward, simply wipe with a sponge to clear deposits and maintain spray uniformity. 🚿

Positive Aspects

Manufactured with a chrome surface that the brand describes as heat and wear resistant, the head aims to keep a polished look over time and is easy to maintain. The square, modern appearance fits contemporary bathrooms and the broader panel gives more coverage than many smaller handsets. If your water is particularly soft and low in minerals, the benefits of heavy-metal reduction may be less noticeable. For electric shower units, do not use this product as advised in the original notes. 🔧
