We used to have a Trevi boost shower but the "turbo" (or how ever it worked) was inside the mixer fitting on the wall where the cold pressure would help boost the weaker hot feed. It actually worked quite well. Claiming the turbo will boost pressure in the shower head breaks Newton's law thermodynamics.

The easiest way to maximise pressure is just to stick your thumb over the end of the shower hose. You won't like the flow rate but the pressure will be as good as you can get without a pump. All a shower head can do is trade off pressure vs flow rate.

Not sure about more pressure but the pressure is great, and perhaps its the movement of the spray but rinses shampoo out of your hair in a few seconds. And while the filter doesn't look like much, the kicker for me was a rash I have had for 3 years is gone. Used the shower for about 2 weeks and realized I wasn't itching any more. Rash completely gone. Nothing else had worked. I love this shower.

By restricting the openings you increase flow but pressure remains the same. The water coming out of the tiny holes is coming out faster (flowing) but the pressure still depends totally on the height of the water in the tank. Water flows out due to gravity and the pressure is roughly half a pound per square inch for each foot the water level is at. This does not change if you reduce the size of the outlet. Simple hydraulics. Ask any firefighter.

Changing the size of the holes adjusts the coefficient "K" in P = (Q/K)^2 , decreasing hole size decreases "K" which is in denominator and therefore results in a larger pressure "P" with the same flow "Q".

Reminds me of those "smart" handles that borrow power from the water pressure to give you a temperature reading. Except the ones they put for sale in Lidl required 4-5 bar of pressure (!?) and significant flowrate, and even then the display was so dim. And the internal "turbine" was so poorly made it just suffocated a normal healthy shower to be completely unusable. It's easily possible, if it's done right..

For clarity, I don't believe the shower head shown does this... It is technically possible to use a large amount of low pressure flow to pressurise a smaller amount of higher pressure flow. You'd need to design part of the system as a turbine and part as a compressor. That way some of the water flowing through the head would lose energy (pressure) going through the head and some would gain energy.
@Jutilaje
@Jutilaje 2 жыл бұрын
Pressure is energy. Without adding any additional energy from somewhere else, it violates the laws of physics for this to somehow be able to increase water pressure. In fact, the laws of physics mean that by using some of the pressure to spin the fan, this showerhead actually must decrease pressure (albeit by a minuscule amount since the little fan clearly takes very little energy to spin).

To be pedantic, I think you're technically forgetting about modifying resistance. You can increase pressure by converting flow using resistance (think water hammer). Increasing flow AND pressure however? Laws of thermodynamics definitely apply.

Because we thought it was going out, but now with a new one and the same 15 issue I’m questioning it. But the house came with a shower head that had little to no pressure, so I bought a cheap shower head and it has a ton of pressure but the hot water still doesn’t last. So my question is is the high flow of the new shower head the issue?

I suspect this device does work and that it doesn't break any laws of physics. However, I think it probably works in only certain circumstances where there is good pressure but poor flow. In other words the restriction lies in the pipework - such as lots of 90 degree bends or flexi pipes. So, by restricting the outlet flow you could see a significant increase in line pressure - up towards your feed pressure. Technically, the water in the pipe stays flowing below its Reynolds number and doesn't go into turbulent flow at the restrictions. You will get the best shower when flow and pressure are optimum - not when you maximise just one.

THANKS!!! I live in a rented property where the only running hot water is from the immersion tank in a cupboard on the landing. The immersion (judging by the popping and banging) is caked in limescale and the pipes are probably coated in it too. So when I rigged up the mickey mouse push-on-to-the-taps shower attachment I bought, I get a piddling little dribble coming out of the shower head - at chest height. Put the shower head up to head height (I'm only 5'1") and it virtually dries up completely! Having just seen an advert for these things I thought this would be a game changer, but the skeptic in me wasn't convinced. I thought judging from the shape of it there were batteries inside adding to the water pressure. Thank goodness I watched your video! Okay this piece of ......"plastic" is only cheap. But do I really want to pay people for making false promises and selling junk products that don't work to people??? NO. Guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and try and get the landlord to solve the problems (he won't).

Water suppliers’ statutory service standard level of mains water pressure is 10 metres/head (or one bar). This means there is enough force/pressure to push the water to a height of 10m. This is measured at the point where the water leaves the water suppliers pipework and enters yours (usually the outside stop valve or property boundary). As a guide, if you have a suitable single service pipe, the first tap in the home (this is usually the kitchen tap) should be able to fill a 4.5 litre (one gallon) bucket in 30 seconds, with all other taps and appliances turned off. Another way of putting it is enough water pressure to fill a cold water storage cistern in a two storey house roofspace.

Remember that pipes create frictional pressure losses that the water has to overcome when flowing through it. It is far easier to have 6 litres per minute (0.1 litres per sec) flow through a 28mm pipe then a 15mm pipe. So the larger the pipe, the less frictional losses are created, which means there’s more pressure available at the shower head

No brothers made my one possibly, but it looks exactly the same as yours besides those differences I mentioned . I’ve recently purchased one of these and I’m gonna go out there and say it’s the best showerhead I have ever used. The turbo/ fan actually directs the water evenly through at the back of the perforated plate. I have run my showerhead without the fan and it literally squirts harder out the top holes then the bottom holes. Refit the fan and it evenly sprays with the perfect pattern.

The turbo fan is just visual serving no purpose from what I can see. I wonder if in the handle there is a variable constriction device, ie for venturi effect. The Venturi effect states that in a situation with constant mechanical energy, the velocity of a fluid passing through a constricted area will increase and its static pressure will decrease. The effect utilizes both the principle of continuity as well as the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. Not sure this product uses this principle though. Sales Gimmick.

Fitted a new Mira Jump 10.8Kw ....same day the customer changed the head for one of these - killed the shower within a week. Didn't blow the PRV but the fact that you can TURN IT OFF !! at the head while the shower unit is still turned on made it overheat and die. Expensive mistake

They're using the power of the water to run the fan? If anything, isn't that just going to increase resistance/turbulence and decrease the velocity downstream? It's not as if there's a motor powering the fan to propel the water at a higher rate of speed...

An i right in saying that pressure is baaed solely on the height of the 'stacked' water. Like a tank with 10 litres of water vs a tank with a 1000 litres of water, will have the same pressure if they are the same height (if both tanks have an outlet at the same position)?

A cup with a shower hose vs a swimming pool with a shower hose. A cup 3 metres high has greater water pressure than a swimming pool 2.5 metres high.

look like they make it to go around shower head unsettle of hitting head to nozzles so that water will go around n come out of nozzles without putting so much stress on pipe (like hammer which u can learn it by turn on water so fast n watch pipe pull n push around) so it just fly thur shower head n it good have more tiny hole because it make flow line longer (never use any shower head because i normal run straight water reduce flow that all n just like living in junk yard)

You should do a " Build one episode." That actually does what the manufacturer claimed theirs was supposed to do, and show the internal differences of what actually works compared to what doesn't. Though you could use a different manufacturers that works, but it'd be more of a in your face to that sham company if you built a custom one of your design. That'd add another good episode to watch as a sequel!

While you can have, "Ionizing beads" they're called filter medium, and used to filter water into pure water. They come in three types - particle filter that blocks out large pieces, negative charged to get rid of half the garbage, then 3rd stage positive charge to get rid of the other garbage, bonus if you get 4th stage activated charcoal/carbon filter; But they use chemical resins that deplete their charge and need to be replaced over time. THOSE ones you talk about,... are garbage.

Unless the shower head gets external power, there is no energy in the system to produce pressure beyond what city water main offers.

Ah, that's what is called a flow multiplier, increase the flow, reduce the pressure. By the way, I've never read as box like that before. Legionella, something I deal with each week in my school. Need to be understood.
