@@Granto-ni9qw If you have an older house it maybe the feed pipe is depositing rust into the shower head directly and through the hot water tank. You can replace the shower head as they aren't so expensive, or try and blast it from the shower head in reverse and see what comes out. I have heard you can use WD-40 just spraying it on the shower head and its openings and this will reduce the blockage. Best to do this with a rag to catch the rusty bits that come out when you turn the shower on for the first time. If its not rust then this had been a useless reply for which I apologise.

I've been having poor shower pressure for two years in my house. A handyman came over and said that it was plumbing problema and that the whole wall of the shower would have to be removed as it was problem inside. I watched 1 and a half minute of this video, used a nail clipper and in less than 5 minutes solved problem that nobody could in 2 years. God I love the internet.

Agree, about the shorter shower, since you won't be spending so much time trying to make the trickle of water most shower heads give effectively clean. Shower's with weak pressure take MUCH longer than those that don't, simply because you can rinse more effectively and much faster.

This fix is especially valuable when switching from a showerhead with few holes to one with many. More holes will reduce the water pressure, making the shower feel like rain drops and not a forceful stream. Removing all restrictors is the only thing you can do at the new showerhead to try to recover the same force.

I completely agree with the video. I didn't even think about just pulling the restrictor out completely, last year I was able to drill a hole in my restrictor and made a world of difference. My tankless water heater has a flow control that doesn't kick on the heater until it meets a certain flow. My shower head was not allowing it to kick on so drilling the hole not only helped with the water heater being able to kick on and stay on, but it helped drastically with the shower pressure. Do it, you won't regret it.

If your showerhead changed to lower pressure on its own, it was probably caused by sediment or debris. By removing the restrictor, you accomplished two things - you removed the accumulation AND you opened the interface to handle the full flow from your inlet pipe. Good job!

In Brazil these restrictors are optional. They came in the package with the shower but it's up to the installer use it or not. In the instructions, they say you want to use it when the income water pressure is too high, even specifying the pressure, but most of the time nobody installs them because it's rare to need them.

The first one was like mine, but I had trouble getting it out using the method you demonstrated. I decided instead to remove the small black rubber o-ring and see what that did. It opened up all the holes and the shower is so much better. It's a much more conservative approach, but the flow in our shower is now great. I think removing the entire restriction would have been too much.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but it's important to note that the rubber O-ring in the green restrictor can be removed to improve pressure at the head also without full removing the restrictor. This will likely give you pressure in the middle of fully removing the green piece and not removing anything. Just a thought.

I realize that his video was back in 2020 but I was looking at KZbin yesterday and happen to come across it. We live in an area where we have a well and our water pressure is OK but won't blow you down. We have the removable handle wand on our shower so I went in took it off and like you video removed the restrictor. When I got in the shower this morning thought it was going to knock me down. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! I was excited to she my wife's reaction when she got in after me. Her words were 'it won't take as long to take a shower now'. We got married 17 years ago and she already had the house so we been dealing with this for over 17 years and I kinda knew about restrictors years ago but had forgotten so THANK YOU for the video. What a difference it will make in our lives.

This was no joke! I just took a shower after doing this and my shower knocked me all the way into next week! I had to put the restrictor back in but modified it slightly for a little bit more flow.

@@onward2727 the little plastic peice I took out of mine actually had a rubber gasket around the opening making the holes smaller. I took the gasket off and put the plastic piece back in and found it much more manageable. Without the plastic part the pressure was so high that it would hit your head and spray all over the ceiling. So I would say making the hole slightly bigger would probably work.

Thank you so much for sharing, very easy to find and remove the water restricter and wow! What a difference. Like night and day. Thank you again so much. Plan on telling everyone. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for showing us had no idea just bought 2 shower heads and they sucked little water flow. In fact one shower head was the exact same one you had. The only weird thing is both of the shower heads I had were different did not have anything to pull on. So I used a drill to make a huge hole in the plastic worked the same thank you. I think they are changing it to make it harder to remove. Then again I live in California.

The last two shower heads I bought they were very difficult to remove the restrictors even with needle nose and other tools. But I practically had to destroy the restrictors. I think they're making it harder and harder for consumers to remove them.
