What type or brand of shower head will increase pressure. I have good pressure to the head but the original and the replacement I bought seem to reduce the pressure greatly. They both were not stopped up but just don't seem to have enough pressure. Thanks

There are no shower heads or shower valves that will increase pressure. You'll need a booster pump on the house main to do that. However, I think I can get you better pressure and more volume in your shower. All new shower heads have water savers installed. Try this. Unscrew the shower head and look inside. Just inside you will find a round washer with holes around the edges. Pry it out and toss it. Now reinstall the shower head and rub-a-dub under a full stream. Cheers and happy showering, Tom
