Could you please tell me why only 1 out of my 3 showers has low water pressure. This is a brand new home? They are Symmons Alure showers. The low water pressure is in the master bath (it is a stand up shower - no tub)

Hi Cher,

Remove the shower head and you will see a washer with holes around the edges. This is a water saver. It restricts the flow. Pry it out and toss it. If that don't work get back to me and we'll go to plan "B". Regards, Tom

I live in Maine and have a well. My water pressure has always been bad. My wife and my children have always complained that they can not rinse the soap off their skin or the shampoo out of their hair. I think that I bought and tried every shower head that I could ever find in every home center and hardware store in New England. They were all junk!! Finally I found the solution at a small home show in Portland. A company was there that specializes in shower heads for low water pressure. Their name was Water Management in Boston, MA, and their website address is www.TAKEASHOWER.COM. They sold me a shower head that worked so well with my low water pressure that it almost felt like we had drilled another well. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!! Unlike all the other shower heads we bought this one actually worked. If you are suffering from low water pressure you MUST visit this website. I only wish that I had found this company 10 years ago when I first moved to Maine because I would have eliminated a decade of suffering in the shower for me, my wife and my family.

I don't care what the advertisements say. You can not get more pressure or volume out of a showerhead or faucet then you put into it. To increase the volume of water out of the newer showerheads, remove the shower head and toss the water saver away. That's the rubber washer with the holes around the edge. Cheers, Tom

Tom,
You are right that the flow restrictor does have something to do with it. The company that I bought this shower head from, engineers the showerhead to increase the velocity of the water coming out- speeding it up so it feels stronger. As they explained it to me it is like when you put your fingerer on the end of a house and the water hits you harder. It really works. I was skeptical also when I was at the show. There nothing to lose guarantee sold me to try it.

Ahh! I understand. The principal behind this is that you're trading volume for pressure. Cheers, Tom
