...are rated at 2.5 gallons per minute at 80PSI.

Who here has 80 PSI house pressure????

Anyway........I am notoriously unhappy with "most" shower heads so I just ordered one that supplies TEN gpm at 60PSI.

Heh heh....

Is there a "legal" rating on fixtures? Dont toilets HAVE to be a certain litre or gallon per flush?

Most shower heads have a restricter in them, I took the one out of mine, some you may have to drill out. But it's well worth it.

First thing we did after moving was to replace shower heads. Even with the water softener, the heads clog once in a while. Simple solution: replace them every 18-24 months. I usually use a dual setup in my shower, combo handheld and fixed. Works great.

^ I didn't ASK ****.......my question was rhetorical.

THIS thread was to brag my new shower head.

As soon as my wife is away I'm going to lay ALL of my shower heads out on a table and take pictures.

WOW......................this stupid shower head I just got in the mail is nothing but an REALLY cheap one that has been bored out.

I put it in and it sucked.

So then I removed my inline valve and it improved greatly........but that still doesn't make me feel any better for having spent $20 on a $4 head with a big sloppy hole (have at it fellas).

So.......I put the solid brass "decent" one I bought recently back in and it works GREAT (after having the restrictor removed and also the little inline valve.

So........here is the lesson I have learned....

Flow restriction........ummmmm............restricts flow.

The little stupid valve I had in line has an internal valve ID of less than 1/4".........while the inside of my "standard" shower head has a ID roughly equivalent to the inside of the shower feed tubes/valves.

So.........there is NO need to bore out your shower head unless you have pretty consistently BIG bored supply lines/valves, etc.

Now......I'm not going to take the time to consider moving the tiny valve farther back in the feed line (using the piping as a ballast tank).......instead I just replaced the inline shut-off with a brass ball valve I had laying around.........and I have super flow with a standard head (sans restrictor washer).
