Anyone remove water flow regulator on showerhead?
Comments (4)Our new valve only allows 2.5 gpm,(CA), so we wanted all the water pressure we could get thru the shower head. The "green" water saver head we unknowingly bought was only 1.5 gpm and was totally unaccepable for a shower...the water just piddled out. We removed the o-ring, and the restrictor, but left the strainer. It took some pulling any prying with needle-nose pliers, but worth it. It is a Grohe. -Babka...See MoreRemoving the flow restrictor
Comments (2)I seem to recall that manufacturers are required to install flow restricters that aren't easily removed. I would just drill it. If it's plastic, you can probably just use a new, sharp drill bit and turn it in by hand. The hole(s) don't need to be that much larger either....See MoreWhat to look for in shower head for strong water flow?
Comments (21)Finding the right shower head has become a compulsion of mine too. I hate turning the shower on full blast and I can put my hand in the center of the stream and not get wet!!! I have a box of shower heads I've bought and they just weren't what I wanted. I picked up another one last week to add to the collection that just might do the trick!!! And it only cost $6.00 and some change at Home Depot. No fancy packaging...it is called PEERLESS Power Shower Head, with a power spray with a max flow of 2.5 The way it is made is different than what I'm used to. It's narrow with a button that slides so you can turn it off while lathering up. I don't do that, I want the hot water and spray to poke little holes in me while I lather up. This one seems to come close so until I see something else, this one will hang around awhile. The woman likes it too, says it rinses the soap out of her hair really good and does it fast. Good luck!!!...See MoreKohler Moxie Showerhead without Water Restrictor
Comments (2)I have done this and it hasn't affected the spray at all. In my case it improved the flow. I like the shower head and enjoy the music....See Morejakethewonderdog
