Water Pressure
May 25th, 2010 @ 2:10 pm
I have to say that I always thought that water pressure was water pressure. What you get is what you get. Although I did find it odd that one shower seemed to have more pressure than the other.
This past week, we took the shower head from the guest bathroom and put it in our bathroom (we both liked that shower head better and it appeared to have much better pressure). Then we figured we should get a new shower head for the guest bathroom (looking for something similar to what it already had). We searched at Home Depot this past weekend and found a shower head that we both seemed to like (at least it was worth trying).
Jason wanted to try it out in our shower first (why give it to the guests if we like it better). 
We were blown away by this new shower head. The pressure was far better than even the shower head we had in our guest bathroom. It takes seconds to wash the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair now. I’m so thrilled!!!
I now know that it has nothing to do with the house’s water pressure but what shower head you have. If you’re not thrilled with your shower water pressure, I suggest getting a new shower head.
And if you’re wondering what shower head we got, it’s called Delta Victorian 5-Spray Shower Head in Satin Nickel and they also have this shower head in a hand held option.
Interesting Finds
Hmmmm…..that sounds like the shower head that we need to order for your new bathroom here at home when you come visit!!! Thanks for the info!

Forgive me for throwing this in, but I believe there can also be error in the installation of the bathroom plumbing that robs your shower of pressure. My mom’s new shower was installed incorrectly, and we were told that contributed to poor water pressure. Granted, the easier way to fix that would be to put a better shower head in, but the only way to fix it 100% would be to re-do the plumbing as well. Glad your fix was the cheaper/easier/cleaner of the two! Be aware, over time mineral buildup from water can clog a shower head, so take them down at least once a year to clean. Search online for ways to remove mineral buildup, so you can keep that new beauty working like…well, like new.
