Looking for a high pressure shower head?

Question

I was looking for a high pressure shower head. Nothing fancy-just the basics. My apartment has good water pressure but the landlord has low pressure shower heads installed. I don't care for massage settings, hand helds, etc. If anybody has any recommendations, could you also tell me where you got it from.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Your current head is low consumption (2-1/2 GPM) not low pressure. This is now a requirement. I bought a Waterpic brand head and it will blow you out of the shower if the water is turned up high. A little more expensive but you could always take it with you when you leave and reinstall the old one.

Answer 2

All the new shower heads are low consumption.Take the head off and look inside where it connects, you'll see a small plastic orfice inside usually with a o-ring around it.Use needlenose pliers or a small s***w driver to pry that plastic orfice out even if you have to break it.Now you'll have a strong shower!

Or you can get a really cheap one from Home Depot if they still carry one.  It is small and cone shaped and gives a great shower!  I bought out all the ones I could find when they were on sale in my store.  Maybe WalMart?  They were on a bubble card in the aisle at the shower department. Small and about $7.00, very unassuming looking, but again , a really great shower!  I put one in all my g'friends houses and sisters too.

Kohler 10284 "Forte" is great.  Look around on-line for best price (about $50).  I first ran into one of these at a Holiday Inn Express and loved it (they even sell them people like them so much).  It comes as a low flow as do all new shower heads by you can dig out the green flow restrictor and have a shower that will practically blast your skin off.
