Showerhead recommendations

16 years ago

I'm looking for a great showerhead with good water pressure. Does anyone have one to recommend?

    This is the one we got and we're very happy with it. Don't forget most faucets and fixtures now come with mandated water savers so when looking for a shower head you want to find one that has a water saver piece that can be removed easily. That's what we did and have not experienced any problems.

    My delta showerhead is lovely--but the water restrictor is not removable (at least I haven't found a way) so the "feel" of the shower is acceptable only on the narrowest jet setting.

    I'd like to know this, too. However I want a strong forceful shower without removing the water saving restrictor because water is so expensive in my area. I'm not the OP and I don't want to lead this thread too far off the original direction, but I am particularly interested in a low water strong shower and I'm willing to pay for it. Any suggestions?

    I think it's a contradiction to say you want a water restrictor with strong water flow. As a former long time resident of California, I can relate to what you're saying but have yet to see any faucet that has managed to accomplish that scenario.

    Well I've read that some combine air to create a stronger flow. So what you're saying is that they don't work?

    "I think it's a contradiction to say you want a water restrictor with strong water flow."

    Actually, I've found it to be exactly the opposite. We have very low water pressure, and the only way I can get a decent feeling shower is with the low flow showerheads. They may send less water at you, but the water it does send comes much faster than with a conventional head.

    Anyway, my favorite has been the Oxygenics BodySpa SkinCare. IMHO, it looks terrible and feels plasticy and cheap, but the water pressure it generates is amazing. I recently installed a much better looking Hansgrohe with EcoAir, but it doesn't work nearly as well. So, I think I have to take it out and try to find an Oxygenics model that looks decent unless somebody has a suggestion for something that works as well as the Oxygenics.
