    Back many years ago when I used to rent. My landlord came to my apartment to place those water pressure restrictors to all my faucets and shower. After landlord was gone the water hardly had pressure coming out; the following week I went to the rental office complaining they said "NO worries everything is fine is normal". So, I had no idea what was the landlord had done to my faucets and shower head hose. Thank you for your wonderful advice and video. Blessings.

    You are a freaking life saver! I was worried and thought I'd have to call a plumber, but now I can attempt to fix it myself! I'll let you know if it works when I get home tonight! Im always so thankful for people who post videos showing how to fix things in a home because I never had anyone teach me and I'm a new first time home owner. Thank you!

    I was just in Georgia visiting my daughter at her new home, she kept complaining that her shower had too low pressure. My wife went out and bought a new shower head it made little difference. I didn't know how to fix it. Next visit, I'm gonna be a super hero! Thanks.

    Thank you!!!! You just solved our issue. Seriously great advice and easy to follow step by step troubleshooting. Our household pressure was fine but just our shower had suddenly decreased pressure. As soon as I took apart the shower head I could see the restrictor had shifted somehow blocking some of the holes. Adjusted it and removed a little rubber blocking piece that wasn’t needed and now our pressure is perfect again. Thank you for saving us from having to pay for a new shower head or call a plumber!

    In my case, the restrictor was on the shower head (not on the hose). Take out that restrictor on the shower is harder than on the hose. But after removing the restrictor from the shower head, the water is blasting now. I already ordered the new shower from the store before watching this video but I will cancel it. Thanks so much for your instruction. The video is very, very helpful.

      @kkandi8796 2 роки тому

      I found a restrictor in the little thing that holds the handheld hose on my one shower, and in the handheld showerhead that attaches to the hose. On my other shower I have a regular showerhead off a three-way diverter for a handheld showerhead. But the showerhead and handheld showerhead both had the water saving things right inside and it helped a bit but after about a week or so I looked at the diverter and on the diverter input it had a reducer on it as well. I read somewhere even if you buy a set that comes with the diverter, hose, showerhead, and handheld showerhead they will put those reducers on both diverter outputs, the showerhead, and the handheld showerhead. freaking crazy!! I just thought it was because I bought my Pieces individually instead of in a set because I couldn’t find one that had everything I wanted in the showerhead, and the handheld part together. Thats why I ended up with three different reducers because it’s technically three separate parts. Buy then to find out that companies that manufacture it as one piece and sell it as one piece still put three sometimes five different reducers in it. The one I was reading about I think was moen, guy found reducers on the diverter input, both diverter outputs, the main showerhead, the handheld showerhead, and some of them even put it on both ends of the hose. Like they know we’re on to them so they have to start sticking them everywhere lol!!

    First, good video. My shower head which is somewhat similar to yours was also running very slow. I did the vinegar overnight soak with no improvement. I know my pressure through the house was good as there were no other issues. What I decide to do before I was to work on the water valve was to work back toward the wall. I removed the line and inspected. No issues there. Then I removed the assembly from the neck protruding from the wall and wouldn't you know it, there was the culprit, a clogged filter. But your video is good, the process of elimination works.

    Thank you so much for your video. I just had one of the bathrooms in my house remodeled and I couldn't figure out why the water pressure coming out of the shower head was so weak now. It was the flow restrictor in the new showerhead just like you said. I've always taken really quick showers but that low pressure was slowing me down. I have very thick hair, and I couldn't get the shampoo and conditioner out of it lol. It was driving me nuts and I'm not sure that I was actually saving any water anyway considering it made my showers longer 🙃

    • @joel4210
      @joel4210  4 роки тому +8

    nice looking brushed nickel finish with multiple water spray options
    Our master bathroom has a standing shower with handheld shower head.
    We started to see some rust spots in the hose not to mention heavy mineral built ups in the shower head because our house has very hard water despite water softener we have.
    My wife picked out this handheld shower head to replace our old one because she loves the brush nickel finish to match our bathroom decors but this turned out to be very impressive handheld shower head.
    Although I have replaced shower heads many times in the past, it came with nice instruction on how to replace it for those who's not familiar with it. My only advise would be to use wrench to hold the base spout when removing and installing the holding adapter so you don't accidently twist and damage the base pipe when you over tighten it.
    I really appreciate that it came with plenty of plumber's tape because you really want to put that on before connecting different parts so that there's no water leak in between threads. This is one of most common mistakes and reasons why there's leak after installing it. Very happy to see that they have provided plumber's tape to remind you to use it!
    It also had rubber rings/washers in each connector but it also came with extra one, which is nice. They also included a shower drain cover to prevent hair from going in to the drainage, which is a nice bonus. I really love the brush nickel finish, which makes it look elegant and expensive. The 7 different water spray setting is nice to have so you can change it for different purpose. We will most likely leave it on one setting for most of the times but it's nice to have option to change it when needed, such as jet spray for cleaning the shower wall, etc.
    After replacing the shower head, I didn't see any leak and the stainless steel hose feels sturdy. I also like that I can rotate and tilt the shower head holder and it stays in place. Overall, very happy with this shower head!

    You saved my 15+ year old handheld shower head and made showers enjoyable again!!! I was going insane trying to figure out why my good pressure shower seemed to only be running at half pressure! I have long and very thick hair, so a low pressure shower just does not work, and I was really starting to dread getting showers! Finally after 2 weeks of low pressure showers, I couldn't take it any more! I went to the internet, found your video and Voila, my shower has great pressure again!!!! My problem was rust in the bottom part of the handle. I didn't know that you could unscrew that part of the showerhead, but after cleaning it out and removing the rust pieces inside of it, my pressure's working better than it has in a long time!

      Backed off the hot water screw one turn to many and got a splashing like something out of a movie. Actually had to replace the valve unit itself though. And with that, water pressure back on point. And subsequently, fixing the water pressure in that bathroom added pressure to second bathroom. Still removed those water restrictors in the shower nozzle tho. Double whammy. All good here now👍🏾

    I have the same problem. I tried to remove the handle with hex key like you showed. I cannot get any turn to remove the handle. I looked the inside of the hole with a mirror and flash light. There is a screw with smooth wall. Do you have any idea for that case? Thank you.

    removing the flow restrictor helped me out. I had a new shower nozzle being sent but I canceled the order since removing the flow restrictor fixed it. I'm guessing calcium was building up in there.

    Had to remove the water restrictors in every faucet in our new house. The water pressure at our sinks was a joke. Builder wanted to install different faucets throughout at our expense, lol! I obviously said no! After the removal of restrictors, our water pressure is perfect.

    I have about 43 psi from the curb. And I can run 2 2nd story showers at the same time. It’s all about reducing flow restrictions on the way to the showers. I have a 1 inch main feeding into a 1 inch stainless pipe manifold. 3 one inch pex outlets from that. One runs to the hot water heater, one directly to the cold water side of my Maniblok. The hot water feeds into the maniblok as well. Every fixture in the house gets it’s own uninterrupted run of 1/2 inch pex, no fittings in any runs for corners. And that’s how I can run 2 2nd story showers Simultaneously on 43 psi curb without any booster. And I’m loosing roughly 11 psi from curb to shower head because of the height the water has to be lifted (25 feet or so) it’s a tall house.

    Good solution. I have a weird problem. My two outside faucets have always been good. They both read 75. I use an adaptor that enables me to hook a hose up to my kitchen faucet. The kitchen faucet used to be fine but now the pressure is so low I can't wash my dog. I hooked up the pressure gauge and it reads 75. I hooked a hose up to the faucet then the gauge to the other end. It reads 75 yet when I install a spray nozzle it is very weak when hooked to the front the water will spray 45 feet.....I can't figure it out unless my gauge always reads 75..

    Just an additional food for thought when you have low water pressure it takes you longer to take your shower in my opinion my experience when there's more pressure you can soap yourself up wash your skin wash your hair get in and out and plus it's sort of like a massage

    • @joel4210
      @joel4210  5 років тому

      Melisa Sanchez I don’t think those have set screws/dials to adjust the pressure. If you take the handles off, I doubt you will see one. It should only be the valve stem.

  • @lrc87290

      @joel4210  4 роки тому

      yes, they’re handy. I had to replace a cartridge once and all I had to do was close them without cutting off the water to the entire home. For some reason, the hot water valve wasn’t opened all the way .

  • @janetgernand9123
    @janetgernand9123 4 роки тому +1

    Will adjusting the screws under the handle increase the water pressure that comes out of the tub’s water spicket? Our water flow is just a little more than a trickle when we fill up our bathtub and so it takes forever to fill it up. BTW: we live in a very old house in the country that has iron pipes and well water.

      Janet - Does your diverted have adjustment screws? If it does, it might help with your issue.
