Great video. I was tempted to buy this, but every shower head I've come across with high pressure, creates that pressure with smaller holes. I've got the hardest well water than I've ever encountered in my life right now and it clogs up everything fast. i had a feeling that this wouldn't work for me. Now I know for sure.
Energy can't be created or destroyed, so the extra work in that shower head will only detract from the available source. But as for the back scratcher, game changer....
The amount of electric showers that Ive had to fix with these on is crazy they just don't realize that they cause too much back pressure and set off the prv or break the shower completely
Il second that! Had two Mira jump 8.5kw fail this week alone because of these! One was two years old the other 1 month ! In both cases the thermal cut outs triggered
There’s a restriction and it’s the filter, take the filter out like I did the pressure went up and it stings when I use but I have a know to turn it down
I bought one of these to give it a try. Read reviews but didn't care, was game for an adventure. Well I love this shower. 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.
I can't believe that anybody ever falls for these scams. Of all the benefits of the internet, this is a great example of the downside.... the total abuse of trading and advertising standards to part people from their money....... Back to the age old adage of; "if it looks too good to be true............."
Years of cargo cult, ego grooming and anti-science propaganda. I don't blame the traders. They're innocent. I'd claim the customer's own fault for being IGNORANT, DENSE and even ARROGANT when they're told they've been scammed. I've had customers ask me to install these, and when it doesn't work they bitch on me that I installed it wrong. Ok mr and ms certified plumbers, don't call my number again. Knobheads.
I was at the Ideal Home show a few years ago and walked over a balcony. Directly below me I could see a chap demonstrating something like this. Every time he used it he was visibly (from where I was stood) kicking a karcher pressure washer on to increase the pressure.
i like the spray pattern, id be interested to see if drilling the guts out of the handle to remove restrictions to give full flow would affect the spray at all. that way the only restriction would be the spray holes themselves
@@dimitar4y lol I def don't think it works. But like I don't get why you'd test it and not do a simple flow test. That's what would debunk it for good. This was just opinion
@@GM-dc8vr why don't he test it is because if someone sees what was already presented and is still not convinced then they deserve to have their cash repurposed.
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.
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
Flow and pipe size do not affect pressure. Do not confuse velocity with pressure. With a garden hose connected to mains water, you increase the speed (velocity) ofte water by squeezing the end of the hose.
Always wanted to try one out, had a customer with one installed recently but it was grotty as all hell and was attached to a decommissioned power shower. Thanks for saving me money and time, always knew it was a bit of a joke product deep down. Great vid!
Ooh! grody( grotty) I miss that word!! I was a 90’s teen and grody was definitely something I said all the damn time! 😁🤞 Really not 💯 on how to spell it tho…. Lol!
Bro I’ve been seeing these for a while in my feed Glad you did the video I had a feeling they were never going to work How could you increase pressure without increasing pressure Thanks for your great updates very handy
Joe public is gullible and have no idea of the difference between pressure, flow and volume. For people with a sluggish gravity fed shower, the quickest, cheapest fix is a big bore flexible hose and a new (unclogged) simple showerhead.
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 Trevi used a venturi to pull gravity hot water behind a mains cold supply. As the venturi relies on precision orifices it quickly degrades in a hard water application as limescale takes effect.
These shower heads have been out for long time and i always knew they are toys. Nothing can impove the pressure otherwise we would loose our plumbing jobs haha
I've been able to get increased pressure by installing a shower filter and a high pressure shower head(the one I use is the Gusgopo 9 Spray it's cheap but well made imo) So there are ways to do it, but certainly doesn't beat the increased flow rate that a plumber could add.
I can hardly believe it, but my wife bought one of those without mentioning it to me. I'm the qualified plumber in the house so you think she might have asked. I had to be diplomatic about the crap shower head and let her see if it worked. It didn't of course, it made the shower worse.
Okay I understand what you’re getting at and yeah you’re right! , and yes the broken English is misleading. But I’m gonna school you on one thing. Before that though I need to mention mine is electric diaphragm pump so Obviously not gravity feed. Plus mine doesn’t have the back scratcher or the see-through filter cover it’s chrome . Also mine was only NZ$17 from China with nothing written on the box. and I have zip tied the throttle open . 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. Definitely a good cheap showerhead!!! Not a paid promotion
@@davidf2118 Understood mate. So that proves the fan has a purpose of evening out the spray. I think everybody understands there’s no way that Van can increase pressure it’s more about turbulence for the spray pattern.
@@davidf2118 i’m pretty sure they are not made for gravity fed showers . I think they are primarily made to reduce water usage . That was the only claim made on my packaging . which Indeed mine did . They have a great spray pattern and awesome pressure . mine is run by a 12 V pump with A limited 20 L supply . and works very very well for $17 . it’s the best damn shower head I have ever used.
To my shame I did try one of these shower heads, completely useless on gravity fed shower (1.5 head only). Fitting a large bore showerhose had much more effect.
Technically the spinning of the 'fan' will reduce the flow rate as you're making the water work before you get it out the head. That spinning wastes energy from the gravity aspect
The spinning pulls air from the outside and mixes it with the water increasing its pressure, the foam pad is to reduce bubbles. You use less water this way.
Hi this shower head more more dangerous use to instant gazer if your by mistake shower head push the stop button the instant gazer hot pipe blasting and Electrical circuit short and dangerous to shower head flexible hose pipe earthing to human body may be your invited own death so plz don't used this shower head on instant gazer only use for water tub head connection is a safe for this shower head plz plz plz plz carefully 😢
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.
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.
I prefer flow rate over pressure... To the point where I've taken the limiter out of my shower head. I'd rather drown in large quantities of water vs blasted by a pressure washer of a nozle lol
Great video James😎 Looking forward to you next video where you talk about how relaxing and efficient steam showers are👍(particularly how many buckets of steam you think a 5 minute shower would need😝) Have a good weekend bud👊
Its the spray pattern that I like. I don't care about the bs turbo fan. If I could find a better version with a strong flow and that spray pattern, I'd like it better. As I like the spray pattern.
Lmao turbines by definition take energy *out* of a flow. Like for example a wind turbine, which takes energy from a flow of air and puts it into electrical energy instead. (Compressors put energy into a flow, but obviously they need to get that energy from somewhere such as an electrical connection.) In this shower head you're just taking energy out of the water, and into the turbine.
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.
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..
So I just got my hair colored and hair stylist said to get this water softener filter. I'm so glad that I decided to watch this video. But more importantly, read the comments. Thanks everyone! I think I will save my money and stick with the regular shower.
People who recommends anything and not give honest reviews are mostly under a contract meaning they can not say anything bad about it. so be careful with some of these reviews. not to say this isn't an honest review but you will know when its an honest review when they give there pros and cons. x) I hope this help for further reviews.
Thank you James I'm not a plumber but you do make me laugh its like you've just said it's a gimmick looks pretty I don't know about you I don't look at the shower head whilst I'm having a shower wash the necessities I'd say hair but my profile I'm bald and have been since I was sixteen I'm 52 now thank god I am bald cause its ginger its utterly utterly rotten being ginger 😂🤣😂 what about the heads that have small balls in their head will they be the same I haven't got a electric shower it just a hot and cold pressure gets faster when I turn the taps carry on what your doing everything you do has me laugh and the flying is brilliant keep up the great work and remember 'HOLD TIGHTS ' oops sorry TIGHT cheers 🍻
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.
My shower head was an absolute bag of wank, I could spit faster. My misses seen one of these on TikTok so we bought one for £4. Genuinely the best £4 I could have ever spent 😂😂 so I personally have to give it credit
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.
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.
Asking someone who has taken engineering physics, The size of the outlet most certainly affects the pressure. You can test toricelli's theorem easily enough.
@@VoluntaristSociety Yep outlet pressure. 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". It's theoretically correct I believe but has its limitations... seems they're taking full advantage of pressure/flow relationships.
No one's talking about how this guy just hooked up the shower head in his garage and watered the cement. I don't understand the point of this. Why not just hook it up in the shower? So weird...
This did not need to be more than 1 minute...and public water plumbing is not gravity fed....if you live on the 14th floor of a high rise apartment building, gravity doesn't matter unless you jump out of the window....that's what you tubers like this make me want to do....I think Ramsey would call you a donut for this
I am glad you have done this video as I was looking to get one of them thinking it would improve the water pressure. What a BIG pile of 💩. P.s. keep going with the videos very helpful.

Yeah the metallic paint on the pastic turbine and the turbine itself are likely to start coming apart with any real water line pressure.

People who recommends anything and not give honest reviews are mostly under a contract meaning they can not say anything bad about it. so be careful with some of these reviews. not to say this isn't an honest review but you will know when its an honest review when they give there pros and cons. x) I hope this help for further reviews.
Water softener?
Water softeners are typically a whole house system. Not one fixture.
With the spinning fan feature, I guess it's more of a placebo effect. Very informative though.
Also, you're out of bog roll.
Is it supposed to use less water that's what most of the adds say
A load a junk.....genuine junk.
Thank you James I'm not a plumber but you do make me laugh its like you've just said it's a gimmick looks pretty I don't know about you I don't look at the shower head whilst I'm having a shower wash the necessities I'd say hair but my profile I'm bald and have been since I was sixteen I'm 52 now thank god I am bald cause its ginger its utterly utterly rotten being ginger 😂🤣😂 what about the heads that have small balls in their head will they be the same I haven't got a electric shower it just a hot and cold pressure gets faster when I turn the taps carry on what your doing everything you do has me laugh and the flying is brilliant keep up the great work and remember 'HOLD TIGHTS ' oops sorry TIGHT cheers 🍻
They must be able to use the turbo back pressure water jet fan for renewables, think how much clean electricity we could make. © me 2022
Thanks for confirming what I always sort of knew. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear!
You should’ve taken the filter out of the handle to eliminate ALL possibilities :)
As my Dad would always say “You don’t get something for nothing “
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.
My shower head was an absolute bag of wank, I could spit faster. My misses seen one of these on TikTok so we bought one for £4. Genuinely the best £4 I could have ever spent 😂😂 so I personally have to give it credit
Lol... what about the ones that have "ionising beads" in the handle and lemon-scented blocks in the head...
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.
@@dimitar4y Thanks for the info...!
I have to disagree about BTTF III, the order is - 3. BTTF II, 2. BTTF III and 1. BTTF 1 (which is my favorite movie of all time BTW.
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.
If your house is not supplied by an infinitely large pipe, then the size of the nozzle certainly affects the pressure.
Asking someone who has taken engineering physics, The size of the outlet most certainly affects the pressure.
You can test toricelli's theorem easily enough.
@@VoluntaristSociety Yep outlet pressure. 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". It's theoretically correct I believe but has its limitations... seems they're taking full advantage of pressure/flow relationships.
It looks cool i guess. A good cheap guest bathroom head. Maybe swap the filter with something anti-microbial.
Short answer, no. They will, however, allow you to target previously unknown weaknesses in your plumbing.
No one's talking about how this guy just hooked up the shower head in his garage and watered the cement. I don't understand the point of this. Why not just hook it up in the shower? So weird...
Basic physics should tell you this is just rubbish.
Aight!
This did not need to be more than 1 minute...and public water plumbing is not gravity fed....if you live on the 14th floor of a high rise apartment building, gravity doesn't matter unless you jump out of the window....that's what you tubers like this make me want to do....I think Ramsey would call you a donut for this
I'm desperately looking for a product that will ACTUALLY improve the water pressure (I live on the 18th floor) and NONE of these videos are helping :(
I am glad you have done this video as I was looking to get one of them thinking it would improve the water pressure. What a BIG pile of 💩. P.s. keep going with the videos very helpful.
Alright. I'm not a dumb person but apparently I'm Forest Gump to shower heads. I didn't understand a damn thing he is taking about.
Keep posting your videos. Good luck to you sir 👍. I apparently have not cared about shower heads.
He started with WE WILL BE DEBUNKING THE MYTH which means he already knows its not gonna work so no reason to watch the video 😂😂😂😂
Hey James great vid & funny, the tuk tuks are brilliant for the wheelies & shower head I'd like to see that after a month of using in a hard water area (total rubbish) but great video 👍😁🇮🇪
I’m sick of You Tube banning and de platforming people like we are children and taking money for fake bullshit adverts like this I won’t buy off UA-cam now it’s bad for other advertisements
Newton disagree with all turbo shower claims... But it's a nice gimmick, kids love it... 10$ well spent
What is an electric shower? It sounds shockingly scary.
