I just got my new high Sierra shower head. It’s awesome! It’s actually solid metal and not aluminum anymore and the black finish is way better than it looks in the pic. Good job high Sierra.
Sounds like an excellent product. My better half is concerned that it will leak do to this disclaimer found on Amazon and the High Sierra web site: “PLEASE NOTE: to comply with US plumbing codes, the fixed and handheld shower heads come equipped with an on/off “trickle” valve. When in the off position, the trickle valves will flow a minimal 0.05 gpm to prevent scalding.”Does the shower head leak?
Good question, J C. Much as with other shower heads, when you shut off the water via your shower's lever or dial, the water flow through a High Sierra shower head is also completely shut off. What the trickle valve allows you to do is to press a button which nearly completely shuts down the flow of water, so you can temporarily cut the water flow while lathering or shaving, and then press that button again to conveniently resume the water flow at the same temperature.
Thanks for using your engineering knowledge to bring us this review. Need more reviews of different US made products w/r to quality! Thats a channel idea your welcome to steel. Hope you get rich!
Why the hell you gonna go and do a whole freaking audio analysis when we can simply listen and hear if we like it but not show the damn spray pattern? DA!
I have 1.10 GPM hot water discharge from my shower nipple. I measured it. So if I use the new 1.80 GPM, must the minimum discharge to the shower head be 1.8GPM to et 1.8GPM? My pressure is 120 PSI. I live in a high pressure area. What is the miniimum flow rate (GPM) for the 1.80 GPM new version to operate -- meaning what if my flow rate drops to 0.5GPM @ 120 PSI. The water here fluctuates between 0.5GPM to 1.1GPM due to rusted clogged pipes. Yikes!
Possibly I got a lemon as when I try and lift the end it flops down. It feels to loose and when I hold the area that goes into the pipe to be level the head droops / drops. Anyone have this issue?
High Sierra low flow shower heads are very loud. They will cause hearing damage over time. They work as intended (they give you the feel of high flow), but the hearing loss over time is not worth the water cost savings.
Here's a comparative example. IMO, they're not very loud, but their sound is definitely different than conventionally designed shower heads. czcams.com/video/4-bOuPNrnE8/video.html There's also a take on its sound at 6:40. He even did a frequency analysis!
Imagine reviewing the shower head... and turning it on. Just a thought
Can you do a video showing the shower heads turned on?
michellewolfe24 Thinking the same thing.
They both put out the same spray. Just watch his previous video. You clearly heard the difference in sound in comparison.
You can find his previous video here; the demo starts around 7 minutes and 20 seconds in ... czcams.com/video/1abtjOSmqfs/video.html
A comprehensive and detailed review of an awesome shower head. The design is so good that it deserves this kind of review. Many thanks, Brian.
Just installed mine. OMG this shower head is awesome.
Does it leak when not on?
@@jc01057no unless you get the 2 way showerhead because it requires dripping for us plumbing code.

So funny how people are complaining about turning on the head; where as he is giving an even better analysis by giving you Hard data!
But why didn't you turn on the shower .... jeez
Great Review!! But was hoping you would turn it on to show the spray pattern.
Great review - I bought this from Amazon after seeing your video! Thanks!
How is it? Does it leak when not on?
@@jc01057 No it does't leak. Just make sure to tighten it using teflon tape.
@@cadizwilmo9687 thanks!
Presented the products well, and thank you for the comparison. Wish water saving/consumption was mandatory.. thank you.
Great, well-informed video but I might suggest editing it and inserting a segment with the head turned on.

Which GPB did you use? And Do you have a link to the Classic + ?
Next time turn the water on buddy. What are you trying to pull?
I was hoping to see the showerhead in action.

No video on this video
What is wrong with you? You did a 10 minute video about a shower head and the pressure without showing the actual water coming out?
Maybe turn the damn water on 🙄
The biggest problem with this showerhead is one that nobody ever talks about. This showerhead is really loud. Over time, it will cause hearing loss.
It's not THAT loud, just a bit of a different white noise type sound. No way it can cause hearing loss.
wow. a whole review on a shower head and you never show it turned on. lol what a waste of time.
Shower head without shower!

100db is the recommended limit for 15 mins of exposure. These shower heads are well below that so will not cause hearing damage
