How do you increase the pressure and flow out of your shower head?

Question

Kitchen sink has good flow

Answer 1

Unscrew the shower head, and look in the end you should see a little piece that's the size of a dime with a little hole in the center. Pop that out, thats a water saver all heads come with, apply some pipe dope or teflon tape and s***w the shower head back on. If you still have low pressure then have a plumber replace the water lines and the valves to the tub& shower valve

Answer 2

Clean the head using a lime remover  make sure your water main to your house is fully opened...  If you have galvanized steel pipes, they could be a contributing factor for your low water pressure .

Answer 3

Answer 4

You can either take it off and clean it with something such as CLR, (calcium,lime rust remover) or replace it.

Answer 5

soak the shower head in some lime-a-way

Answer 6

Most shower heads today are required to have a flow restrictor installed to conserve water.  If saving water or money and living green is not as important to you as the personal enjoyment of a good shower, then remove the restrictor.  It is usually inserted into fitting where the shower head is fitted to the "goose neck' protruding out of the wall.  It is usually a piece of plastic with a few small holes in it.
