    Not enough pressure
    I recently installed a "Platter" sized shower head .There is plenty of water coming out but no pressure. You have to stand right under it and it's more like a garden hose. Is there a way to increase the pressure in that head or do I just need to go back to a smaller head? ( pressure was fine with smaller head)

    If you want a forceful stream you will have to install a different type of shower head. "Platter" type shower heads are designed to simulate rain. I just installed one in my shower and I like it fine. Try yours for a few weeks and I'll bet you'll like yours too. Good luck, Tom

    Yep, you will grow to like it. Your old head may have had 15 tiny holes and that new platter has about 40 big holes. The pressure is as good as it vere was you are kust lettting it come out twice as many holes.
