Where to buy the Siroflex Ultra
An honest roundup of every place that sells the genuine Siroflex Ultra, with what to expect from each and what to watch out for.
The Ultra is not stocked at the big-box hardware store, which is part of its charm and all of its inconvenience. Here is every source we know for a genuine head, with honest notes on each. If you have not read the review yet, it explains why this page is worth the trouble.
Amazon
The convenient option: normal shipping speeds and easy returns. The genuine Italian-made Ultra turns up under a few listings:
- Single, white — the classic, and what most people want.
- Two-pack, white — about fifteen dollars a head, because once you have one you tend to want another for the guest bath.
- Single, black — the same 80-hole head in a matte black finish.
Check that the listing says Siroflex and made in Italy; see the lookalike note below.
NEATitems
A small storefront that has carried the Ultra for roughly three decades, which makes it the closest thing this product has to an official dealer. The site is charmingly vintage; the fulfillment is the real thing.
Siroflex Products
Another long-running specialist storefront built around Siroflex gear.
Super Showers
A veteran shower-head storefront that has stocked the Ultra for many years.
What to watch out for
- Lookalikes. The 80-hole face has inspired imitations in softer plastic. A genuine Ultra is marked Siroflex and made in Italy; if a listing dodges both claims, skip it.
- Silly pricing. A single head runs under $20, and works out to about fifteen dollars each in a two-pack. If someone is asking several times that, they are selling scarcity, not shower heads.
- Finish. White is the classic; it also comes in black. Same 80-hole head either way, so pick on looks alone; the FAQ covers the details.
Once it arrives, installation takes two minutes and no tools, and a vinegar soak keeps it at full strength for the long haul.
