  • Mundane bathroom question. Looking for a replacement shower head, as current one, plastic bits have been borked by the hard water in my area.
    Pressure isn’t the greatest in my block but would like something that increases it if possible (I remember ads for those shower heads with beads/pebbles in them that supposedly gave you greater pressure) otherwise something durable with a couple of different options to change the spray.
    Thanks

  • Those shower heads are all bollocks. If you restrict the water flow you might increase pressure but simultaneously reduce flow, and you need both for a good shower. The only thing that can increase pressure is a pump.

    The only good thing about those heads is they often have fewer nozzles which might give the impression of better pressure. My suggestion is to get one of those cheapo heads with a multi-way mode switch that essentially adjusts the number of nozzles in use, and you can pick the option that feels best.

  • Thanks, I was always dubious about those shower heads, as anything that starts with “they don’t want you to know about this..” is usually rubbish/dodgy.

    Will start Googling hard water shower heads..
    Thanks
