MOEN PUTS A “TWIST” ON AN INVIGORATING SHOWER EXPERIENCE

WITH THE NEW TWIST™ HANDHELD SHOWER

Oakville, Ontario… When it comes to showering, today’s consumers know what they want – style, quality, good pressure and coverage. With this in mind, Moen is adding a revitalizing “twist” to users’ daily showering routine with the new Twist™ handheld shower.

Twist allows users to effortlessly switch between the handheld shower’s four spray patterns with one hand: simply swivel the showerhead around the handle with a push of a Soft Grip™ thumb pad. Soft Grip is a non-slip, comfortable surface that is soft to the touch for a comfortable and sturdy feel – yet is durable in design for everyday use. The sensible design stops spraying between settings to ensure you don’t spray yourself, the walls or the ceiling.

“The Twist handheld shower offers the many features that our research has indicated are desired by today’s consumers – and a new way for consumers to easily switch their spray options,” said Garry Scott, vice president, wholesale marketing and brand development, Moen Canada. “With a flick of the thumb, each member of the house can easily create their ideal shower experience and can switch settings as needed – whether to relax, revitalize or clean.”

Twist offers a clean and simple transitional style. No matter what your shower preference or mood, you can easily switch between four, high-performance sprays custom designed to fit the multiple needs of today’s showering consumer:

·  “Immerse” — an invigorating, full coverage spray

·  “Soothe” — a relaxing, heavy mist spray

·  “Drench” — a soft, yet heavy, rinse perfect for bathing kids and pets

·  “Shine” — a strong, focused spray ideal for cleaning your bathtub and shower

In addition to the functional benefits of Twist, the handheld shower is easy to install. “Within minutes, consumers can have a new showering experience in their bathrooms,” said Scott.

Twist is available through wholesale showrooms in Chrome, LifeShine® Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze. The Eco-Performance model flows at 7.6 litres per minute (2 gallons per minute), providing valuable water savings, without sacrificing performance. It also features a 30-inch (76-centimetre) vertical slide bar with handheld slider to allow easy height adjustments to accommodate any member of the household.

Additionally, Twist can be found at home improvement retailers as a shower-only model, without the slide bar, and flows at a standard 9.5 litres per minute (2.5 gallons per minute). It is available in a Chrome finish.

The Twist handheld shower features a Limited Lifetime Warranty. For more information about the new Twist Handheld Shower from Moen, visit moen.ca or call (800) 465-6130.
