Multi-functional Spray Head
The Simplice is all about supporting a range of operations thanks to the innovative, compact spray head. The stream option is ideal for filling your pots and pans.
In the meantime, the sweep spray creates a broad, forceful blade of water to allow you to clean in a breeze. And then there is the pause function to let you stop the running water between tasks at the touch of a button.
