Shower heads have removable flow restrictors.

Remove them and enjoy!

Do they still? I thought the feds required permanent ones when they found out people were just removing them. Or maybe that was some federales suggestion.

The funniest story I heard about flow restricted showerheads was a urologist who used his practice instruments to open up his showerhead like a misbehaving prostate.

I discussed this with the plumber when we did a bathroom remodel last fall. He assured me that the flow restrictors are no longer accessible.

If they won’t come out, use a drill.

I removed one in one of the showers, and it really works great.

I just did this! My apartment has great water pressure but my new shower head didn’t perform as I expected. I removed the little blue restrictor gasket and now I have insane pressure. I told my gf “we can thank libtards for this.”

The last one I bought the restrictor wasn’t removable. But I own a dremel tool...
