    Thanks Bruh! Out of all the low flow shower head problem videos I’ve watched, yours was the one that spoke to me and now my problem is solved. I watched at least 7 different videos but your video zeroed in on the exact problem whereas the others got me to thinking I had a much bigger issue when all along it was the water restriction device that was the culprit. I can’t thank you enough. Trust me, I was really freaking out over the lack of water pressure. If myself and all the others here you helped, we would surely pin a medal on your chest but I’ll do one better. Next time you’re passing through north central Fla., the beers are on me!

    This was crazy helpful. I tried to remove the flow restrictive out of my shower head years ago, but couldn’t get it out. I didn’t even think to just break it and pop it out. After watching this video, I did just that, and now I’m getting awesome water pressure.

    Hey, do you know you totally changed my shower experience? I purchased 3 different shower heads from Home Depot and none of them gave me the water flow I was expecting. I gave up and then searched on RUclips for the solutions. Thanks for uploading this video. After removing the blue plastic wall, I'm extremely satisfied with the strong water flow from my rainfall showerhead now.

      The fact that you have a rainfall shower head says why it had no pressure. It's designed to mimic rainfall not a typhoon. You want high pressure? Get a head with less holes.

    @XSR_RUGGER Год назад +27

    It's a requirement to have those put in by manufacturers. They don't restrict the pressure but the volume of water coming out. Typically 2.5 gpms. When you remove that you get something closer to 4 gpms. Delta, Moen, and some Kohler models have life time warranties and removing the flow restrictor can void them, just FYI.
    A small Allen key or dental pick will get that o-ring out without busting it or you can just drill the plastic out to avoid possibly damaging other parts of the shower head.

    About 4 years ago, I alarmingly noticed, what I would guess, an aprox. 30%+ reduction in the water pressure to my house. About that time, they finished very large new Apt complex nearby which although denied by the Water Co as the reason, am certain shares some responsibility. Not only is it now impossible to enjoy what a decent shower should accomplish anymore, but as a plumber, I know there is NO way to up the pressure from the main line. Replacing or adjusting the pressure at the shower head my give a stronger flow, but still delivers LESS water. Same problems with the pop-up sprinklers in my yard. A few of the older sprinkers didn't have the pressure to rise for water discharge. Had to dig them out and replace. Some new devices are now reinvented for lower water main line water pressure. I never wasted water in my opinion, but now it seems I am using MORE as a result.....

    Be careful when you do this. Sometimes the flow restrictor acts a seat for the rubber seal to sit on. If that is the case the water will leak around the threads where it is mounted to the arm sticking out of the wall. This trick does not affect the pressure. It alters the volume of water flowing through the head.
