How do you remove a shower water restrictor?

The ones that I am used to are in the shower head. You have to remove the shower head or nozzle using a wrench. The restrictor should be right in the front where it connects to the pipe. It's just usually a small piece of plastic that only allows so much water to pass through. Remove that and you can put the shower head back on. If the fitting leaks you may need to get some teflon tape to wrap around the threads when you put it back on. Have a good shower.


If when you turn the shower off water still drips from the shower head like a dripping tap can this be easily fixed?

Does the shower drip constantly over a period of 4-5 hours, if not, it's water holding in the shower head which has a water saving feature that holds water in the head. If it drips constantly, you'll need to change your seals on your stems. It's fairly simple if you have the correct tools.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a power shower head over an ordinary shower head?

A power shower head mixes moving air with water, to increase the strength of the water coming from the shower head, while using less water. The advantages are lower water bills, using less water and protecting the environment. Some reviews of power shower heads indicate that the claims are untrue, and that the product does not work as is a waste of money.
