Sick of Restricted Shower Heads

[BoomerD]

I've drilled out every showerhead I've owned for the past 30 years.

It works better with some than with others, and I've ruined a few, so YMMV.

How I managed to miss this gem in all my years of watching Seinfeld is a mystery.

I could actually empty my 50 gal hot water tank with a single long shower.

I had a roommate who was an expert at this.

Depending on where you are and what you read, a low flow head can save roughly $20 or more per person per year. So for a family of four, that's about $80 a year.

$80 whole dollars a year? Screw that, I'll happily spend that to have nice pressure in my shower.

Seriously? That's like a happy meal a month.

Have you tried the Delta shower heads? I like their h2okinetic "tech", I picked up this head for my current place and I love it.

It's due to water regulations, by law you cant exceed a certain gallons per minute

For high-flow, you might want to try this one:
My brother has one, and claims the flow is high and not restricted.

Thanks for the necrospam asshole...

You need a German shower head, they have an 11th hole. There's historical reasons behind that which I won't get into, but that extra hole really does help for giving that extra power, and it's German, we all know the German make good stuff.

Fixed this problem long ago. I actually take shorter showers with the increased flow. It simply takes longer to wash with low flow.

I am so sick of the restricted shower heads. I’ve tried so many different ones;

I’ve removed the restrictor, tried drilling out others for better water flow, but still can’t get that strong invigorating spray I so want. I have 80 lbs of water pressure which should be just fine. Does anyone know of a strong shower head, even if it requires some modifications.

Yes, I am aware of the Seinfeld shower head episode.

How is the water flow with the shower head removed? It may be a restriction in the valve or pipes.
