Fix Low Water Pressure In Shower

#howto #DIY

This video addresses how to make the showerhead have better water pressure. Keep in mind that doing this will let more water through, and waste more water.
Let me know if you have any questions or video requests.

Thank you, just moved into a new place and the pressure was incredibly low. Turns out the filter was filled with plastic pieces that looked clogged. But wouldn't have thought to look there unless this video. Awesome saved us $50.

Wow my mornings have been completely transformed. I removed the black ring and the difference is night and day. So much pressure now! Thank you!

I removed that piece and my low pressure was fixed but it nearly blew my flesh off so I soaked it in white vinegar, brushed it off, reinstalled it and it works well now. Thanks!

This worked like a charm. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for sharing!!! I’ve had terrible pressure in my shower for years and couldn’t figure out why. Found the stupid ring and it is 💯 better!

Mine didn’t have an O-Ring, BUT it had loads of sediment mashed against the mesh inside. Cleaned out with a metal pick and used porcelain cleaner to dissolve any leftover stuff. Slapped it back on and BAM! HIGH PRESSURE BABY!

Done this.. Works great. You don't need to turn on the water very high so you control how much water pressure you need for the job like when you need to rinse long hair. Conserve that way but have an effective shower head.

Omg I can’t believe this worked!!! Thank you so much!!

Great video, this fixed mine as well. Thank you!

This worked like a champ but when reinstalling I noticed what looked like a coating that manufacturers spray on pipes had leaked over and formed a "dam" blocking half the pipe. I removed this and reinstalled and the pressure is amazing. Thanks.

Good video, but didn't work on mine. I think the shower head is clogged and I just need a new one.

I just took out the entire green restrictor ..and what I mean by that is ...I completely destroyed it ... I drove the head of my screw screwdriver through the center of it cause the needle-nose weren't working ... wish I had just took out the black ring first to see what the difference would be the shower works great now ..thanks for the vid =)

If you really want to get wild, remove the whole flow restrictor with needle nose pliers.
