hansgrohe spray types

Do you want your shower to gently envelop your body or blissfully massage it? Are you looking for a boost of freshness in the morning or a soothing and relaxing experience in the evening? The hansgrohe spray laboratory works tirelessly to transform water into the perfect medium for you. Read on to discover which hansgrohe spray types you can choose.

Water runs down the face of a woman in a shower — Our skin feels the character of every droplet – its warmth, its size and its texture.

Your personal rendezvous with water

When we shower, the water comes into contact with around 5,000 sensory cells per square centimetre of our skin! We feel the temperature, size and speed of every drop – and perceive this differently on our face to on our fingertips, shoulders or the back of our knees. We also have a sensitive perception of what we find enjoyable – and that differs from one person to the next. As a result, the hansgrohe spray laboratory is passionate about developing individual spray types that pamper everyone’s skin.

For those who prefer to keep things gentle: blissful hansgrohe spray types

The fine mist of a waterfall, a light rain shower in summer – nature shows us the different textures that the element of water can take on. The hansgrohe spray types for pleasure-seeking shower users are modelled on the lightest types of water and envelop your body in a cocoon of wellbeing.

PowderRain is one of our most popular spray types: tiny openings in the overhead or hand shower form micro-fine droplets that dance gently and quietly over the skin. For sensual showering experiences and blissfully deep relaxation.

Experts use a microphone to record the sound of water from a shower head. — hansgrohe not only works hard to perfect the texture of the water from your shower but also to ensure a pleasant sound.

The hansgrohe spray laboratory

This is where our most valuable element is shaped into your personal wellness medium. After all, not all droplets of water are the same. The experts in the hansgrohe spray laboratory have developed a wide range of openings that release water from your shower in micro-fine or intense doses. All spray types with ‘Air’ in their name are enriched with air for an even plumper texture.

The number and arrangement of the openings on your shower head determine how many and which spray types you can enjoy. There are even spray types where the water moves in a circular motion, including the Whirl spray type, for example.

The researchers in our spray laboratory also focus on the splashback properties of water. Airily light droplets such as those of the spray type PowderRain or even somewhat plumper droplets like those of the spray type RainAir barely rebound from the skin. The water stays where it belongs and flows smoothly down your body. Take a look at our hansgrohe sound laboratory – we are not only working to optimise the texture of water but also its sound!

Using less water is easy – simply turn off the tap. The real challenge lies in using intelligent technology to create an extraordinary showering experience.

Markus Woehrle, Head of the Spray Laboratory at Hansgrohe

An ingenious idea: the flexible silicone nozzles have been developed to prevent limescale from sticking to them in the first place.

Water in good shape: the laboratory meticulously tests how the spray comes out of each nozzle.

The number and size of the openings on a spray disc are being developed.

Tests using various artificial hair types show how quickly and thoroughly shampoo can be rinsed out.

Newly developed products at hansgrohe pass through many hands.

The water test bench checks that every nozzle releases the right amount of water with the right level of pressure.

It is not just measurable results that count but also human perception: an expert allows the water to run over his hand.

hansgrohe products are durable – the materials and water pressure are precisely aligned in the laboratory.
