  • Pretty simple. Needle nose pliers work just as easily. Now you can finally get the pressure back! Life changing haha

    Thank you! I’ve been trying to find a video that was easy to follow and your restrictor looks so much like mine that it was easier to figure out. My water flow is strong now. I was about to buy another showerhead but now I don’t have to.

    Thank you for the video. Saved me a lot of frustration and arguments. My water pressure is now so much better!

    Holy shit! I’m doing this when I get home! I LOVE full pressure showers. Some really nice hotels have high pressure. Thanks for this! You’re basically a life saver!

    Quick easy video. Thank you for not posting a 9 minute long video showing how to do this, which I literally just saw was available.

    PSA: if you want better pressure but not maximum pressure, just remove the rubber o ring inside the reducer. But make sure you put the mesh/rubber grommet back in the head or you’ll have leaks and sediment could destroy your head.

    I took the clear plastic piece off and I noticed a slight difference

    Do we know the approx gpm flow without the restrictor? I had one at 2.5 which was OK... But the rain dial with side hand wand was 1.75 which is like a toddler gentling pissing on your pant leg this video was awesome. I ended up having to punch thrbrestrictor out from the hole side of the ball in the joint as this pull/lift method didn't work exactly. Only the top cross came out. It does snap back into place. Pressure now will remove the top layer of skin 😂

      Every unit will be different. Grab a 5 gal bucket and run it for a min. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The white cross shaped thing came out easily for me, but the rest of it seems to be stuck in the shower handle...

      Needle nose pliers and just yank it all out

    Is there a way to fix a non working pause button??

      That’s more of a “replace” type issue.

    Actually you're supposed to remove that before you put it together

      No they’re water saving inserts that all manufacturers have to put in to meet EPA requirements.

      They all have it. Best bet is to find a 2.5gpm unit and remove the restrict or on those.

    They make it look so easy but most hand held shower heads have fixed flow restricters that don’t pop out.

      That’s when a nice needle nose comes in handy.
