Will this work if I dont like the current showerhead with regulator? My current has city ordinance of low pressure, equalling long showers to wash my

The simple answer to "will it work" is yes. It won't replace what you have but will work along with it. Also if you remove the city issued shower head there is a ball inside that you need to remove to amp up the pressure. Try that too. I personally enjoy using two shower heads together to cover a larger area.

I live in Southern California and the water pressure is great with this shower head. Maybe you can compare your city's water pressure regulation versus Pasadena CA?

Not completely sure about your question but this has it's own regulator for 2 gallons per minute so it will replace your previous shower head. If your current regulator is built into the wall, then this won't help. This shower holder does have two outlets that you can switch from so you can use your low pressure as needed then switch to the rejuvenator for your hair and such or use both at a slightly lower pressure. I personally only use one outlet.

You will need a valve and the trim (or handle) for that valve. You should be able to use this with just about any valve/trim, but keep in mind that it's meant to be used with a wall outlet that's not necessarily the existing spigot for your current shower head (assuming you are remodeling here...). Check out the pics on the "Hansgrohe 01850181 3/4-Inch iBox" product page here on Amazon to see what the internal plumbing should look like.

Local code might require the lower flow and your shower head or handheld unit probably restricts the flow to 2.5 gpm anyways. But, if you can get the higher flow, might as well go with it.

Not sure but this unit stinks. Like I said you get more water pressure out of a shower head. Mine just sits in a closet because I haven't thrown it away yet. Don't get this one for sure.

I'm sure it will depend on the water pressure at your house, but mine is just as powerful a stream as the regular shower head it replaced.

The pressure should be OK. You may want to use different shower head than the one provided with the filter.

It can replace exciting head but you may need an adapter depending on how your current shower head is as it needs the elbow looking pipe to connect from

Hello Matt,(1) if you have good water pressure in your existing shower head you will be a happy camper (2) There is a plastic flow control in the part that connects to the existing water nozzle that you may want to remove (I did because I prefer a heavier flow). Try it both ways and see which one you like better.

Yes! It connects to your existing shower head. You can run one, the other, or both. Hope that helps!

If you are replacing the control in addition to the shower head, you need to have a valve that matches. So, yes, you'll need to buy a matching valve. I made the mistake of not buying a new valve, until the plumber doing the installation said he couldn't put this control onto my old valve.

i dont know. I do know i am never going back to a regular showerhead again. After testign it out, i replaced all my showers with these Waterpiks. Its fantastic....and if it does deteriorate over the next 2-3 years just replace it. Excellent buy.

I used it in-line with a shower head that would have been expensive to change (only reason I wanted to change it was that it wasn't a low flow shower head). Have had it installed for months now without any issues.

It will only work if your "quick connect" fittings are compatible as well as your required flow pressure through the regulator.

That depends on the pressure your shower head has. We had our pressure regulator on the shower head removed before we purchased the Shower Pik and we feel like it causes too much pressure for the Pik. We have to use ours on the lowest setting but this is a very effect tool for cleaning teeth. We have a single point faucet also which means you have to have the shower flowing at a warm setting or else if you turn the faucet down to a slower flow we have cold water to floss with which is not good. A two handle faucet would allow better flow control for water conservation.

A standard shower head should be no problem. I used the shower head I already had.

This uses a standard 1/4" male pipe thread and must have full pressure to work. This will not work on a regulated low pressure output.

Yes, as long as you already have a threaded connector or existing shower head installed that you are replacing.
