Can you remove the flow restrictor from this model?

Yes! That is the first thing I did, fyi it comes with the plumber's tape too!

Yes you can and I would recommend removing it before installing it to save you from having to remove it and reinstall it again later because it definitely restricts the water flow with it installed. The directions come with it and easy to understand and the flow restrictor is a piece of cake to remove.

You can try to remove the restrictors that sit at the opening of where the hose connects to, but you have to be careful not to crack or break the heads. I bought this for a friend who has incredible strong water pressure in her home and it was too much, so this helped to make taking a shower more comfortable for her.

if you switch it so either 1 of the heads work solely by itself, then yes. And as far as restrictor, I don't think the screen inside is removeable. If it is, I'd like to know. Hope this helps a little. BTW, I am very happy with my purchase. When I have the water on hot, it feels like a spa.

My husband said ours did not have a flow restrictor as far as he could tell unless it was buried in the middle somewhere. It wasn't part of the assembly.Our water flow is excellent so I wouldn't worry about it.

No water restrictor is installed. This model is designed especially for low water pressure area use.

There is no restrictor. Inside the handle part (which comes apart with a small twist - see locked and unlocked icons on the handle) is the filter tube, which removes chlorine, etc. The pressure flow can be altered on the spray dodk face, using the lever at the side of the face. Hope this helps!

Sorry I can't help you because I'm not sure if my guy that installed it did, I know he doesn't like the restrictors and always removes them at his house, but if he didn't I have great flow its a very powerful shower head.

YES! The restrictor can be easily removed by simply simply popping it out with a small screw driver or sharp ponted pick.

The reservoir on this model is not removable. I don't know if they have any other models that might do what you want. I hope ths helps.

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

I am not familiar with model TH0025. However, my model TH001 has the option to install or not install the flow controller. Any further concerns, call the MFR 888-801-0700.

removing the restrictor is first of all dangerous. second it voids the manufacture warranty. and is not advised.

It depends... upon your water pressure and how much output you want. You should try it first without removing the restrictor. We noticed immediate improvement and didn't need to remove it. The beauty of this model is that you CAN remove it if you want more pressure. BUT, keep in mind that if your household water pressure is low, this shower head MAY not solve your problem and you may need to consult a plumber.

None that I know of. The only way is to change the hose. That is what I did.

I saw some reviews that said it was fine with the restrictor in place and others that said it wasn't. It kind of depends on your local water pressure. It was not difficult at all to remove the restrictor.

Yes It has a green plastic restrictor in the handle. Pulled it out with some needle nose pliers. It flows very well.

I purchased the regular flow, but when costco was selling the low flow I did call Hansgrohe to check whether it was possible to remove that piece. They said yes it was possible. Look them up online for phone # & perhaps can tell you how. Otherwise plumber can do it.
