Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Like most people, I like water pressure while showering. I was using a basic Speakman shower head with the water restrictor removed but decided to switch to a hand shower. The water pressure on this handheld shower is much less than my Speakman even after I removed two water restrictors on this unit. I'm wondering now if there's another restrictor that I missed but I've read that shower heads are now being designed to lower water flow. So maybe this is as good as it gets. I also found that plastic parts are a little soft. When trying to screw the hose onto the shower head, I didn't realize that I hadn't lined it up exactly and started to screw. Just by doing that, I actually started to strip some of the plastic threads on the shower head. There are some positives. I think the unit is good looking. A switch at the top allows you to toggle between water spraying from shower head, the handheld shower head, or both. (Note - I find that switching water to flow only from the handheld shower head increases water pressure a bit.) Another switch on the handheld shower head allows you to change between spray and massage. However, I don't find the massage mode to be effective at all given the lack of water pressure. I'd probably buy a different shower head if I could do it all over again because of the lack of water pressure. Water Restrictors - For those looking to find the water restrictors, I found one at the base of the shower head. Carefully remove the rubber washer and screen (you'll need to put them back in) and you'll find a green plastic restrictor. I tried to pull it out with needle nose pliers but couldn't. The restrictor is located in a collar. So I unscrewed the other end and was able to poke out the restrictor with a screwdriver. The second restrictor that I found was in the base of the handheld shower head. I was able to remove it by sticking in a screwdriver and prying it out.
