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. Listings come and go, so check that the product is the genuine Siroflex Ultra and not a lookalike (see 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.

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. The fair price is around $12.95 plus shipping. If someone is asking several times that, they are selling scarcity, not shower heads.
  • Chrome vs. white. Same head, different finish. 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.
