Can a low-flow shower-head somehow be rigged to improve the paltry dribble?

By admin | September 19, 2009

macguffin asked:


We live in the land of water conservation (good) and low-flow shower heads (boo). A plumber actually removed a plastic gizmo inside the shower-head, but it didn’t really improve the flow. Is there anything else that can be done to soup up the power? Thanks…

      The head with one more to give you can replace just the head with one more to your liking.
