Delta 52664: H2Okinetic square raincan
Choose the Delta 52664 for a fuller-feeling spray from a fixed head. Delta describes (deltafaucet.com) H2Okinetic technology as sculpting water into a wave pattern that gives the feeling of more water without using more water, and lists five settings including pause, Touch-Clean rubber spray holes that let you wipe away mineral residue, and WaterSense labeling. The listing describes a 5-13/16-inch square head at 1.75 gpm.

Delta 75609: SureDock magnetic hand shower

Delta In2ition 58480-PK: head and hand shower in one
Choose the Delta In2ition 58480-PK if you want both a head and a hand shower without adding a diverter. Delta lists (deltafaucet.com) a five-setting two-in-one shower whose detachable hand shower works separately from or together with the shower head, so you can run the head only, the hand shower only or both at once. It uses H2Okinetic technology, which Delta says gives three times the coverage of a standard shower head, plus a pause setting. The listing describes 1.75 gpm.

What H2Okinetic, Touch-Clean and pause do
H2Okinetic is Delta’s spray technology that shapes the water into a wave pattern; Delta says it gives the feeling of more water without using more. Touch-Clean spray holes are soft rubber nozzles you rub with a finger to break off lime and calcium, instead of soaking the head in a cleaner. The pause setting slows the water to a trickle while you lather or shave and restarts at the temperature where you left off.
Delta lists these features on many of its shower heads, so you can compare models mostly on type, size and number of settings.
Flow rates and water limits
Federal rules cap new shower heads at 2.5 gpm, and some states and cities set lower limits. The listings for the 52664 and 58480-PK describe 1.75 gpm, and Delta labels its heads WaterSense, which Delta says means at least 20 percent less water than the industry standard. If you live where lower limits apply, check the flow marking before you buy.
Our high-pressure shower head guide covers heads designed to feel strong at lower flow.
Which Delta should you buy?
If you only want a better spray, the 52664 is a one-connection swap with a modern square look. If you want to rinse kids, pets or the tub, or shower seated, the SureDock 75609 handheld is the most practical, and its magnet keeps it from drooping. If you want both a fixed head and a hand shower without plumbing changes, the In2ition does both from one arm.
Match the finish to your shower valve trim, and check that the head’s size suits your shower arm height; a larger head feels best when it sits high enough for you to stand under it.
Hand showers for families and accessibility
A hand shower makes it easier to rinse children and pets, clean the tub walls and shower while seated. Delta notes its hand showers are great for showering loved ones and pets and for keeping the shower and tub clean. If someone in the home needs to sit to shower, pair a hand shower with a slide bar so the height can change; our handheld shower head guide covers slide bar options across brands.
The SureDock magnet means the hand shower goes back to the same place every time, which helps anyone who finds a clip-style holder hard to line up.
Finishes
Delta sells these heads in several finishes, including chrome, SpotShield brushed nickel and matte black on many models. The 52664 also appears on Amazon in matte black. Match the head to your valve trim and tub spout so the shower looks like one set, and confirm the full model number with any finish suffix before ordering.
Cleaning and hard water
Touch-Clean nozzles are the main maintenance feature: when the spray turns uneven, rub each rubber nozzle with your fingertip to pop out scale. Delta says this avoids soaking or chemical cleaners. If your water is very hard, a whole-house softener or a shower filter reduces buildup; our shower head filter guide covers filters that attach at the arm.
Installing a Delta shower head
Delta says its shower heads install in under 20 minutes with no special tools. Unscrew the old head, clean the arm threads, wrap them clockwise with thread seal tape, and thread the new head or mount on by hand. Snug it gently, protecting the finish with a cloth if you use a wrench, then run the water and check the arm connection for drips.
Our thread seal tape guide covers tape, and our shower arm extender guide helps if your arm is too low.
Delta shower valves and trim
A new head will not fix a shower that runs too cold or a handle that drips; those are valve and cartridge problems. Our Delta shower cartridge guide covers cartridges by series, and our Delta trim kit guide covers matching trim to the MultiChoice valve. For a complete set, see our shower system guide, and for Moen’s heads, our Moen shower head guide.
