Also, to deliver you a fulfilling bathing experience, the easy-grip spray face provides three alternate settings- wide coverage, soft aerated, and massage spray.

We are also happy to tell you that Kohler Forte can be a great option if you want to live your dream of enjoying a rain shower while seated in a comfortable hot tub. Moreover, the brass ball joint of the showerhead securely pivots the head to hit the farthest corners of a tub or stall.
Moreover, you also get the option of connecting it with other Forte faucets and accessories.
However, on the flip side, the kit does not include a shower arm and flange. So, you will have to buy it separately.
