How is the pressure on this system?

Since the amount of water is limited to 2 or 2.5 gpm, the water flow from the shower heads is very consistent. It's a soft spray. If you are looking for needle sharp or multi pattern shower head, this isn't it. If you would like a soft, relaxing, luxurious experience, this is definitely the one.

The pressure is not bad, but I wouldn't say it is strong - it's designed as a rain shower, so it's a gentle fall. The shower head is also a little weak, in my opinion - even after removing every flow restrictor I could find (I think there were at least 3!). They are basically little green blocks of plastic surrounded by black rubber o-rings that reduce water pressure. In all honesty, after I removed them, the only difference I noticed was that the various lower settings on the shower were just as strong as the strongest setting - essentially, I destroyed that functionality by removing the flow restrictors. But I'm pretty happy with the unit because it looks nice and performs well. The pressure is not bad, but I wouldn't say it is strong - it's designed as a rain shower, so it's a gentle fall.

I love the fixture, but our pressure decreased dramatically after I installed it as well. We've kinda gotten used to it, but it's not normal and I really wish I had more pressure at times, especially when filling large pots with water. I hope there is a way to adjust it. My pipes were clean and strong, and my hoses were brand new. It's the fixture.

Pressure is controlled by your faucet handle. I have my own well so it has all the ups and downs of a pump system. This has never proved to be a problem. The longer I have the system the more I appreciate it. I am an older person with severe mobile limitations so this system has proved to be crucial to my hygeine needs.

Sorry, I really don't know. Pressure is pressure and I would assume it would.

You should be all right. There's a gauge on the system that tells you if the pressure is good enough. The Better the pressure the more efficient the filter is

I don't know the exact pressure. The website for the product could tell you that. I can tell you the machine is amazing. In love it. Works great!

It does rely on water pressure for it's force. But I'm not sure how low is to low.

This thing is fantastic. I believe it is the amount of pressure to push the spring inside the housing open for a full flow of water. I used this on my sprinkler system from a rain harvest tank. The first pump I had didn't have enough pressure to open the valve all the way for good flow. Went with a bigger pump and all was well. Hope that helped

Hi David, The cut in pressure is around 80 PSI, it's hard to be exact but that's the most up to date information I have for you. Hope that helps. -PKKJ Inc

I am really not sure. I have not left it under pressure for longer than maybe a day or two. (And only then because I forgot.) Did not seem to be a problem.

Pressure has two settings and I find the pressure to be pretty strong. Good enough to rinse a lot of shampoo out of long hair with no problem. BTW, my wife and I just love this shower head, it's made very well.

This is the quietest pump I've ever had. I love it! As to your question about pressure I cannot say for sure you won't develop a minor, repairable leak but I doubt there will be any serious issue. I can guarntee you will love the pump! Dave Simmons

It does require some pressure... I would say a medium amount of pressure... More than I was expecting when I ordered it

My water pressure is normal. I couldn't answer that question. But it works very well on the shower were I installed it.

It can take a lot of pressure, that what it's made for!! I feel you will be pleased. I love this product! :)

I couldn't say - I've had mine quite awhile in 2 bathroom showers and each is doing its job. I've noticed no difference in pressure.

You have to turn your air down to 60. Start at that pressure. You should be fine.
