Water pressure is very strong, but no "shower" setting as found on cheaper nozzles. Heavy shower, but not "fine" or gentle for flowers. Help.

This is not the hose to use for a shower setting. I use the soaker setting to water my flowers. This nozzle does not have "settings". You turn the nozzle to control the flow of water. Do not have to keep your hands on the lever to have water flow.

It doesn't replace the traditional shower setting, but you can do a mild shower by turning it ever so slightly from closed before full stream (like quarter inch of a turn)

There is no pressure controller / valve. This is one thing I mentioned in my review, that I also wish it had. It simply runs at full blast once you turn the faucet on. One small thing you can do tho, is buy a water restrictor or cut a rubber washer to fit the hot and cold lines. That will reduce the flow of hot and cold and thus reduce the pressure. If you use the handheld shower mostly, you can buy a shower head water restrictor (they are literally only $1.00... go to True Value... Home Depot and Lowes don't sell oddly enough!), and they restrict shower flow to 2.5 gallons per minute which is green and eco-conscious! But the restrictor will literally restrict / lessen the flow and the pressure.... ;-)

Too many unknowns to answer directly, could be anything from valve not opened fully to sediment knocked loos and lodging in your faucets. The unit itself should not appreciably affect water pressure; in spite of differences in heating mechanism, it is still just a water-in-water-out canister.

I know they are shipped with a 2.5 gpm @80 psi flow restrictor (by law). Most of the power in this shower head is from the build up of pressure and air, not forcing more water. Getting in & out without spending 10 minutes (or more) trying to get the shampoo out of your hair isn't going to save you time OR water. This shower head will get you an efficient shower without wasting water.My husband says he's never had a better shower, and for the price, it can't be beat.

Hi Barbara Yes, there is a setting that is almost painful that I would use for cleaning the shower. I purchased mine last February. In regards to removing chlorine and for cleaning the shower, it is wonderful. Unfortunately, the holder that mounts on the shower is plstic and not strong enough to hold the unit. Witht he cartridege in it, it is quite heavy Hence, mine was always falling off the holder or pointing downward amking it difficult to shower unless you stood directly below the nozzle. A design flaw that has been written about in several reviews. Culligan was very unresponsive, however Amazon did refund my purchase and I found a better one at Lowes. Hope this helps Hi Barbara Yes, there is a setting that is almost painful that I would use for cleaning the shower. I purchased mine last February.

You're right, it would depend on your water pressure. In my house I would say eco is about 80% of full pressure. I keep one head on normal and one close to stop. That is a cool feature, these don't click between settings but are more like a dimmer. Love this shower head!

it is already set (by water pressure) to go to the low water usage. When you turn the water off you can here it click over to the lower water use. When you turn the water on, you have to move the lever to increase the water flow. When I showered with it I never increased the water pressure as it was fine for me with less flow. My wife likes more water so she increased the water usually. I ended up taking this off my shower because my wife wanted one you could hold in your hand. If you want mine (in perfect condition) I could sell it to you, I just removed it a month or so ago and it is like new. I could send pics if you include an e mail.

What you want to get is the Delta 75152 shower head!!! I have low water pressure and this is the only one I found that gives you a strong water pressure.

works fine for me on 'flood' setting, what your describing is often a problem with the shower valve.

No, and personally I had to remove a flow regulator in the other part of my shower pipe because after a couple years of use, it gunked up and severely restricted flow. After removing that, the water pressure is pretty high, which is preferred by everyone in my house other than me, but before it was just a trickle.

This is a "rainfall" head. The idea here is to reduce the pressure so that all the available water falls like rain. It does that. It provides enough water to shower comfortably without harsh sprays. It puts out the standard US 2.4 gal/min water flow. If you want more water, add a couple of wall sprays. Those will be force sprays, not rain sprays. Each will also be effectively limited to 2.5 gpm

Kathy, you cannot adjust the water pressure. The only adjustment feature is the type of spray from the shower head.

A screwdriver or needle nose plyers will work fine:http://www.showerstore.com/support/water-pressure.html

This style faucet relies on the water pressure to switch it to shower mode. My thought is you may not be turning the water on as high as your family member. If this may be the case, try turning both sides on "full blast" then set it to "shower". Once it is in "shower" mode then adjust the temp to suit you. I hope this helps.

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.

It doesn't appear to adjust water pressure- shower head behaves the same just has less volume going through. Its possible that the water pressure is rising with the reduced volume of water. I installed one of these and my wife never noticed- I'm guessing I reduced volume by at least 40-50%. Win win for everyone!

I am running an instantaneous hot water system, which reduces pressure in the line a bit anyway. The pressure from both or one head wont sting your skin but it floods your body all over. The pulse is pretty good but nothing like a spa bath. The eco setting shuts of one ring of holes in the shower head but dosent increase the pressure. Great shower head and in Australia this head is over $1000.00. Also great for two people in same cubicle.
