The complete guide
Buying Guide
If you are looking at a gold sprayer, the decision has usually already been made somewhere else in the room. Gold or brushed brass taps, a gold shower set, maybe the towel rail. A chrome fitting next to all that is the thing everyone's eye goes to.
What is different, and what is not
The finish. That is genuinely it.
The body is stainless steel, the T-valve is stainless steel, and the hose is braided. It is the same arrangement as our stainless kit, built the same way, doing the same job. The hose supplied with this one is the longer version.
We would rather say that plainly than imply the colour improves the wash, because it does not.
Why the longer hose is worth having
A hose that is only just long enough is under tension every time you lift the handset. You feel it as a slight pull back towards the bracket, and over a year that repeated tug is what loosens a wall fixing or bends a cistern hook out of shape.
A longer hose takes that out. It is a small thing that shows up eighteen months later.
Fitting
Close the isolator under the cistern. Unscrew the flexible supply at the cistern inlet, fit the T-valve in its place, then reconnect the supply on top and the sprayer hose to the side. Open the isolator and check for weeps.
The bracket either screws to the wall or hooks over the cistern. In a rental, hook it.
Looking after the finish
Wipe it dry after use. That single habit prevents essentially all water spotting, and a gold finish shows spotting more readily than chrome because there is more contrast between the metal and the mark.
If limescale does build up, use a descaler on a cloth. Do not reach for a cream cleaner or a scouring pad. Abrasives are the one thing that will permanently dull a finished surface, and no amount of polishing brings it back.
A note on what this product does
It washes with clean water, and that is the entire claim.
The listing this page replaces made health claims about conditions it said the product would deal with. Those have not been carried over, because they are medical claims attached to a plumbing fitting. If you are buying this for a health reason, the person worth asking is a clinician.
