What are the colored, transparent looking thing on the pictures of this shower head? Is that part of the shower head? Does it adjust the flow?

It is called a Splash Guard and is supposed to focus the water better. Check out their website for more info; I recall that it came in a few colors, too. We have a low yield well and recently had a wonderful system called a Well Manager installed. After my I shower with the High Sierra, the level of water in the Well Manager barely decreases. No more water problems for us! GREAT shower head!

Not adjustable but it is functional. It helps keep the water conical. I've had this showerhead for quite a while and am still amazed at how well it works.

It is an integral part of the shower head, kind of like a mixing tube. HighSierra Showerheads owns the patent on the FCS nozzle. No other low flow showerhead on the market offers this technology.Even though this is a low-flow shower head, it is truly amazing - hard to believe it actually is low-flow. I recommend this product highly.I have purchased a second one.

It "tightens" the conical spray pattern, which on older model heads would be so wide at the bottom some customers complained of it getting past shower curtains and doors and wetting the floor. It also adds a customizable color element for style points in high end restrooms, especially if you decide to go with the big round "Tenaya" model.

Very simple, like any other shower head. you can use pliers or your hand. The power is generated by the water flow!

Its a stainless tower, looks very nice. Not an "industrial" type finish, but a refined brushed finish. A few criticisms of the tower: I was surprised by the lesser quality of the shower head/arm (its very lightweight, not really solid) and the gray PLASTIC body jets. I assumed they would be stainless as well. Lastly, the body jets did not work initially because the small flexible tubing that connected the water supply to them was kinked in fabrication. Therefore, it takes a little bit of working them to make the jets spray properly. Overall, good buy for the money. If you want something really solid and well built, you need to shell out quite a bit more cash. Its a stainless tower, looks very nice. Not an "industrial" type finish, but a refined brushed finish.

Yes the pressure is balanced, great water fall feeling. I highly recommend this shower head, very attractive as well. For the cost you can't beat it!!!!!

Just like the picturre - you get a fixed showerhead and a hose with a hand showerhead. I don't know what you mean by control monitor, but if switched only to the hand showerhead, there is a button that can stop the flow of water to it (outside the normal valve/faucet controllig the water that is not included with the above).

Very low flow. The green screen at the base mentioned by reviewers is NOT the real flow restrictor. The real restrictor is a tiny hole about 1/8-inch diameter, molded deep inside a black tube in the handle. You can't access it without destroying the shower head. See one reviewer's photos comparing the flow restrictor to the size of a pencil point.

Yes/no. When the pump is turned on, its flowing at max speed. On the shower handle itself is a chrome slider bar. In the pictures, it looks like 2 chrome buttons. It is a slider bar that controls the flow of water out the shower head. Although it doesn't even cut the flow off 100%, it can reduce it to less than 5% flow. So yes you can control the flow of water from full down to a trickle, the only way to stop the flow completely is turn the pump off.

No, unless you shop around and find one with that feature. Otherwise this is solely a temperature color change shower head

Transparent? It's the liner that hangs In the shower,it's not the see through plastic it's nice light white cloth, kinda what's hanging on the outside of the shower, it look better, and you can wash it whenever needed, very nice.

I also wondered about that, and was hesitant to buy it. Bought it anyway, and was happily surprised: plenty of water flow. I have not tried to remove the restrictor. Be sure to clean it (soak in CLR, vinegar, etc) periodically, depending on your water's mineral content, to keep it flowing fully. You don't really notice the flow reduction which occurs slowly over time, but you will notice the improved flow after you clean it.

I don't know, but this is the best showerhead I have ever had. I've had 2 of them for a year or two and the pressure is still good. The outer ring covers a larger diameter and the inner showerhead can be adjusted for pressure. The removable feature is nice too, for rinsing the shower or kids.

It does not regulate the flow, you can turn the water on/off with the knob. It is lower flow and conservs water. It is basic and works pretty well, good quality, needs replacement periodically.

The arm does the up and down 'thing' and the shower head screw-in is a ball-joint and allows for side to side adjustment .... you will wonder why you didn't get one of these a long time ago.

The one I have is shiny chrome. I made my own shower head with a brass Speakman stationary head and a gold plastic Speakman hand held shower. I wanted the look of chrome and brass to match my other fixtures. I really like this diverter since it is heavy and the control is easy to use with wet soapy hands. I put it on a standard chrome pipe coming from the wall and all the other additions were compatible with it. The bracket that holds the hand held shower head is very tight and sturdy. From my limited plumbing experience this looks like it is a universal fixture. I'm glad I could find something that was not plastic. It is just what I needed. The one I have is shiny chrome.

The shower head adjusts in a variety of directions and honestly is the best part of the whole unit. It is much better than what we had before.

The visible part is chrome. The part not shown in the pictures is white plastic, however it is not visible due to its location overhead. I am sure the insides are a mixture too. It is not a cheap looking showerhead. Unless you are standing on a ladder you would never see anything but "shiny metal". Hope this helps. I am still pleasantly pleased with the function, design, and price.
