Full-Cone sprays, hollow sprays, and full-body shower spray coverage
Not all shower sprays are created equally. Not even all rain sprays are created equally. Shower spray functions can vary quite a bit between brands and sometimes even between different models from the same brand.
Next to maximizing water pressure, full-body spray coverage is one of the most important features customers look for in a shower head. Many shower heads have a "hollow" spray with the water going out in a perfect circular spray pattern, leaving an empty water-free area in the middle. Rainmaker-style shower heads, like the 4-inch Brass Rainmaker by Ondine eliminate this problem by having spray nozzles all over the face of the shower head. This works fine with single-function shower heads that may or may not adjust for intensity. However, multi-function showerheads, like ones with with aeration, mist, or massage sprays usually require different sized nozzles with different placement.
Some manufacturers have solved the problem by creating "Full-Cone" sprays. Full-Cone spray still have the nozzles set in a circular pattern, but instead of one ring of spray nozzles, there are 2 or 3 concentric spray nozzle patterns with the center ones pointing the water inward, eliminating the "hollow" center.
Another solution manufacturers have used to minimize the hollow center is by creating combination sprays, where the outer spray ring is a rain spray, but the inner spray nozzles feature specialty sprays. Combination shower sprays usually do provide for full body coverage, but because of the additional water coming out, are often less intense than a full-function spray.
