Best for low water pressure Fire Hydrant Spa Short Chrome Massager Shower Head 2.5 GPM at 80 PSI says powerful

We bought our house 3 years ago. The water pressure was so low, making showers unenjoyable. I was skeptical, but bought this anyway. Thos shower head is freaking amazing!! The water pressure is beyond what we hoped for. Super easy to install, no leaks. Very highly recommend this product!!

The shower head gives the water flow extra pressure and it works very well.

Some how, some way this shower head works. We are on a spring fed line with only gravity to build pressure. less than 20 PSI and this shower head makes the shower feel normal with plenty of pressure. Buying 3 more.

I was very skeptical when I bought this. Before using this shower head our water would basically go straight down out of the shower head. After I installed this it was a night and day difference. If you are looking for a solution to low water pressure this is it.

EDIT: I have revised some wording in this review based on some feedback from Take a Shower LLC. Also, as an update after a few months of using this product, my shower remains satisfying but both modes does not feel that it has as strong a pressure as it did initially. I can't say whether this is due to me simply getting used to it or whether it's something in the product itself, but it's worth mentioning. Also, after a few uses, I was able to switch modes with one hand depending on how careful I am with turning it. Regardless, I have lost count of how many times I have turned the unit to change modes only to realize I am unscrewing the entire shower head, so it is still not perfect.How to even begin...I bought this unit along with another unit from Water Management LLC (takeashower.com) after reading all the reviews out there. I wanted to make sure I was getting the right unit, so I figured I'll just pick up both and compare to see which one was legit. I received both unit on the same day, and this unit from Amazon/Take a Shower LLC immediately gave me red flags. It came minimally wrapped and in a bubble envelope, unlike the Water Management unit, which came in a box and presented like an actual product rather than something I bought from China through ebay. I took a bunch of side by side pics (Amazon/Take a Shower LLC unit on the left, Water Management LLC unit on the right) that basically tell the story, but basically, this unit didn't even have the same shape as the pictures show, felt cheap overall, and required both hands (that's right, you read it) to switch between modes when it's on/installed. On the other hand, the Water Management LLC unit felt twice as heavy, looked way more premium, and you could actually switch the modes with one hand. As I was taking these pictures, in my head, I was thinking of how I would destroy the Amazon unit so hard...That is, until I tried the units out. I tried the Water Management unit first. There are two modes only with both of these shower heads, a narrow spray of three strong streams, and a wide (quite wide and far reaching!) spread. With the narrow spraw, the Water Management unit was impressive, much better than the Speakman hotel unit I was replacing. Once I turned to the wide spray however, disappointment began to sink in. The water pressure of the wide spread was low, worse than the wide spread of the Speakman hotel unit that I replaced. The spray was wide and far reaching, but it was barely enough to rinse my hair. It definitely didn't feel satisfying....With half hearted feelings, I unscrewed the unit and went to screw on the Amazon/Take a Shower unit without much expectations. I figure they couldn't be that different in terms of performance right? After all, aside from the shape and a couple of tiny details, they are basically identical in terms of how the water comes out....Screwed it on, turned it on...hmm, the narrow spray felt a little stronger than the other unit. Mind you, the other unit's narrow spray was already strong, but this one felt a tiny bit stronger and the spray amount seems to be the same. Turned it to the wide spray...(begrudgingly with both hands, one holding the unit while the other turning the crown)...and my jaw dropped. The wide spray has the same strong wide pattern as the other unit, the difference was that the water pressure maintained it's high intensity. This is a wide spray with just as much pressure as the narrow spray! I couldn't believe it. The two units are almost identical, but somehow, this clearly cheaper unit managed to do what the "original" didn't. I spent the next half an hour examining the two units and switching out the washers/filter between the two units to try to figure out what the difference is, but I couldn't. The hole on the back side of the unit was the same size in both units and the face of the unit where water comes out of looks identical! Whatever magic is in this unit, has the power.So the conclusion is here. You got the Amazon unit that feels cheap and have some inconveniences like not being able to change modes with a single hand vs the other unit which is much more solidly built and can change modes with one hand (I believe this difference is because the ball joint is a lot looser on the Amazon unit while the crown itself is tighter, so when you try to turn the crown, the entire unit turns because of how loose the ball joint is compared to how tight the crown is...The other unit has a much tighter ball joint and a much looser crown. If someone knows how to modify this unit to do that, this would be that much closer to a perfect unit). BUT...this unit is the only unit that actually works as advertised! I have lived in many apartments as a kid and have even lived in many hotels, so I have used more than my fair share of shower head units and I have never had water pressure like this unit has provided. I am sincerely looking forward to my shower tomorrow.

This is my second Original Fire Hydrant Spa ©™ Plaza Massager Shower Head US Trademark Serial Number 87180090 in Chrome. I’m on well water and it’s hard, which makes build up on fixtures a constant issue. Being on well water our pressure is low, and showering was always horrible because the flow is very poor. I’ve tried 9 different brands and no improvement on pressure, but when I purchased my first Original Fire Hydrant Spa ©™ Plaza Massager Shower Head US Trademark Serial Number 87180090 in Chrome I was amazed at the pressure that this head produced.It’s night and day above what it has been for 28 years of living with dismal low pressure showers. The first one has finally started to calcify to much and was restricting that great flow, so that’s why 4 years later I’ve purchased another! Installs in minutes, even includes a mini roll of thread tape! Like I said, if you have low pressure water, especially well water, this head will make your shower feel like it’s turbo charged! It’s also very easy to adjust the pattern to various settings which is great. Well worth the money!

I've loved these over the years because they were compact, heavy duty construction, and had phenomenal settings that work with even the weakest of pressure... now they are primarily plastic 'Chrome', larger and seem kind of delicate. Time will tell.

If you have Low water pressure, this shower head might work for you.

So our shower was so bad that every time I showered i had to stay there for half an hour because of the low water pressure to feel clean. Came to Amazon and found this highly rated shower head (I got the short chrome one) and figured we’ll likely it is a hoax. Guess what ! The shower head transformed my shower. It’s such a different experience. I installed it myself which took 8 seconds and hallelujah. It is working so well. I wonder sometimes is it the same water pressure. How come it’s so much better. Anyway, this thing works. Sep 2022

Replaced old head, no probs.

Fui muy decepcionada con este producto, el primer mes estuvo espectacular pero poco a poco fue bajando intensidad, y al tercer mes ya se le fue su poder y era como si hubiese comprado una llave cualquiera. Me quedé triste

We had a shower head before that had terrible water flow. It would take a long time to finish showering because of the weak pressure. I ordered this shower head took out the limiter twisted it on (super easy installation) turned it on and the pressure was so hard it blasted all my shampoo off the side of my tub. This thing is a beast. Worth every penny

I have given this 1 star as it came within 10 days and I was originally told it would be 4 weeks (I thought it was coming from (America). It did say it was a genuine part. Having watched the videos and read reviews I was so disappointed. Firstly, I opted for the £90 version as I thought I was getting solid metal with chrome plating but I could tell by the weight and feel that it was all plastic with chrome plating. My last shower head was solid metal with chrome plating and lasted over 10 years but now its rusting up inside and I thought it was affecting the pressure of water. So disappointed as I feel the water pressure now is just the same as my old shower head if not worse. I can't see how you can take this one apart to clean it, which means with our hard water, its not going to last. I like the style and the look of it, but that's about it. Don't waste your money on this product.
