For the first time ever, the laminar and shower spray modes in the pull-down spray are complemented by a third, flat and particularly gentle spray mode, which flows from the integrated base unit.

The SatinFlow spray mode consists of many individual jets that form a soft and yet dense laminar flow.The spray is splash-free and ensures that water flows evenly over food, hands and objects.

Delicate produce such as fruit, vegetables and salad greens love this faucet, as do demanding kitchen enthusiasts.
