dude I saw this video at midnight last night, snuck into my bathroom and did this without my wife knowing and when she got up to shower this morning she was so happy 😂
I appreciate that you had the baby around and you still made the video that is helping so many. There is truly no real limitation is my take away. JUST GET THINGS DONE. This was helpful, thank you.🌻
This was crazy helpful. I tried to remove the flow restrictive out of my shower head years ago, but couldn’t get it out. I didn’t even think to just break it and pop it out. After watching this video, I did just that, and now I’m getting awesome water pressure.
This was a helpful video but with the increased water pressure my water bill also has increased. I'm spending more time in the shower now enjoying my extra water pressure.😆
Hey, do you know you totally changed my shower experience? I purchased 3 different shower heads from Home Depot and none of them gave me the water flow I was expecting. I gave up and then searched on TH-cam for the solutions. Thanks for uploading this video. After removing the blue plastic wall, I'm extremely satisfied with the strong water flow from my rainfall showerhead now.
The fact that you have a rainfall shower head says why it had no pressure. It's designed to mimic rainfall not a typhoon. You want high pressure? Get a head with less holes.
Thanks Bruh! Out of all the low flow shower head problem videos I’ve watched, yours was the one that spoke to me and now my problem is solved. I watched at least 7 different videos but your video zeroed in on the exact problem whereas the others got me to thinking I had a much bigger issue when all along it was the water restriction device that was the culprit. I can’t thank you enough. Trust me, I was really freaking out over the lack of water pressure. If myself and all the others here you helped, we would surely pin a medal on your chest but I’ll do one better. Next time you’re passing through north central Fla., the beers are on me!
I'm a general contractor.been doing this fix for 17 years..my customers were always happy when I did this..and of course all showers in my home I did this..easy to do you cant mess up.enjoy....
Customer: sir can you fix my water pressure in my house. You: sure :Goes in bathroom and knocks out plastic piece in showerhead then proceeds to play on phone for an hour: You: all fixed! That will be $300 dollars ma'am
Thank you!!!!!! I had to get a new showerhead and I was so irritated because the pressure was so much lower than the previous one. Saw your video, snapped that piece out and now I am super happy.
Thank you for teaching your little one while teaching us!!! The littles are our future and we need to educate any way possible, especially in a loving way… so Thank You!
Omg, I did this myself, Thank you . . You were spot on and it was so easy, I was getting ready to buy a new shower head . Thanks for being direct and to the point, no needless talking .
Your little helper was absolutely adorable! I loved when you said “There it is,” and then a little voice mimics in the background “There it is.” So sweet! ❤ Also, thanks for the video. 😊
About 4 years ago, I alarmingly noticed, what I would guess, an aprox. 30%+ reduction in the water pressure to my house. About that time, they finished very large new Apt complex nearby which although denied by the Water Co as the reason, am certain shares some responsibility. Not only is it now impossible to enjoy what a decent shower should accomplish anymore, but as a plumber, I know there is NO way to up the pressure from the main line. Replacing or adjusting the pressure at the shower head my give a stronger flow, but still delivers LESS water. Same problems with the pop-up sprinklers in my yard. A few of the older sprinkers didn't have the pressure to rise for water discharge. Had to dig them out and replace. Some new devices are now reinvented for lower water main line water pressure. I never wasted water in my opinion, but now it seems I am using MORE as a result.....
This is simply brilliant!!! Thank you so much for sharing this plumbing trick! I had no idea that manufactures put flow restrictors in their shower heads!👍👍
You're a life saver. I had one faint stream!!! Thought I needed a handy man. After following your tips, I just needed a new shower head, then I applied your tips...and presto!!!!
Thank you brother. I have tried buying different shower heads over the years and they all seem to perform about the same. I'm going to do this! Thanks again!
Thank you so much sir! I just went to Home Depot and bought a new shower head and was a bit disappointed. I just took the washer out and instantly my shower is old faithful 😂. Thanks so much for your awesome video!
It's a requirement to have those put in by manufacturers. They don't restrict the pressure but the volume of water coming out. Typically 2.5 gpms. When you remove that you get something closer to 4 gpms. Delta, Moen, and some Kohler models have life time warranties and removing the flow restrictor can void them, just FYI. A small Allen key or dental pick will get that o-ring out without busting it or you can just drill the plastic out to avoid possibly damaging other parts of the shower head.
@@chairmanofthebored8684 you can't really void a warranty more so. Once it's voided that's it. I stated that so people know that messing with that stuff could negate what usually is a pretty good warranty.
My showerhead has the exact same restrictor. I removed the little o-ring around the blue plastic, and it helped quite a lot! But now I think I'll be knocking that center bit of plastic out entirely! Thanks for the before and after comparison. :)
just did this with a drill bit and can definitely tell a difference. might go back with a little bit larger bit after a couple of showers if it's not enough
U have no idea…. How best ur solution is….I have been dissing myself after replacing the shower head and was wondering what was wrong with it for the last 1.5yrs of showers…until today. You r awesome dude…thanks much!!
Be careful when you do this. Sometimes the flow restrictor acts a seat for the rubber seal to sit on. If that is the case the water will leak around the threads where it is mounted to the arm sticking out of the wall. This trick does not affect the pressure. It alters the volume of water flowing through the head.
I've been doing this for years. Military guy living in barracks, on Navy ships around the world. First thing I do is fix my shower. And yes if you have a good drill. That will fix the problem!!! Love a great exfoliation shower!!!
when you get to the blue flow restricter, there is a small black o-ring in it that can be removed to increase flow and pressure. I used a small metal pick to remove it. Now it works great.
Thank you! My shower was like driving 25 on the freeway. Showering that takes so long probably uses just as much if not more water IMHO. Your child is very sweet!
great job- i see you have already helped many!! I'll add that in many of these shower heads- there often is a 2nd flow restrictor that you most likely will need to remove to get a decent shower. I used this method at my old house--- 3 miles away from where we built a new house.... Of course the first thing i did was remove both flow restrictors only did find it did NOTHING!! i'm in a beautiful fancey new shower that i HATE. i can't even put cream rinse in my hair because it would take forever to get out. I love being a responsible adult who is treated like a 5 year old b/c the city is trying to stop me from using my share (???) of water! I already do that! I dont wash my car at home- i dont use the water on my yard since they installed some fancy pop up thing that waters my yard. I'm so irritated by not being able to wash my hair in the shower!! Thank goodness I had a sink installed in my laundry room to use for hand wash only items- ironically- there is zero control over THAT sink- so that is where i am forced to wash my hair (if i want the shampoo to come out). Sorry i vented on your channel. I really meant just to praise you for a job well done- but i got cranky thinking about my situation. sorry!! xoPam, still Kelli's mom
Worked like a charm. It was a little of a challenge to get the pieces of the blue plastic out once I busted it but persistence paid off. Shower 🚿 instantly had a lot more pressure! Thanks.

You took my shower from 20% to 300%. I am thankful that you took the time to make this video for us.

Awwwe... Let your little boy sit with you in your videos. He's so sweet. 😊

Thank you so much for the super! My boys are always with me when I fix things around the house!
God bless you brother.
You just made my day.
I spent months trying to figure out this issue.
WOW!!
Been searching all over for this . Everything was just using vinegar to clean the outside.
You are a Legend!!!
Wow, this is what I was looking for! Thanks for the video.
Dude. Wow. Thank you. I have the exact same shower head and the difference is HUGE.
WOW! What a difference! I even felt cleaner. Thanks for the tip!!
This guy deserves more subs. I've learn so much about so much from TH-cam videos like this. It's mind-blowing.
I appreciate that!
Omg, I did this myself, Thank you . . You were spot on and it was so easy, I was getting ready to buy a new shower head . Thanks for being direct and to the point, no needless talking .
GREAT video! Thanks for taking the time to make it. Flowing so much better now!!! 🙏👍
Glad it helped!
My dude!! I was about to buy a new $40 shower head . Tried this instead … worked perfectly . Thank you!
Same
Brother! I am so glad i ran into your video. This is awesome! I just did this just now and my shower pressure works beautifully. Thank you!

Thanks mate, you made our shower so much enjoyable. Bless you and your sweet baby

Adorable "bye" at the end. 😁👌🏽
So simple and worked brilliantly!! Thanks
Thank you brother. I have tried buying different shower heads over the years and they all seem to perform about the same. I'm going to do this! Thanks again!
I had the Amazon tab up, ready to buy a new one... then watched this. Thank you. Subscribed.
Thank you SO much for this. I was trying to figure out why pressure was fine with all the other faucets except the shower heads.
Literally like having a completely different showerhead . This is some of the best advice I've gotten for such a small thing off TH-cam.
YOU ARE THE MANNNNNNN!!! Thank you you changed my life 🥰
This helped so much just fixed our water pressure in our shower my wife is so happy !😊
Thank you so much sir! I just went to Home Depot and bought a new shower head and was a bit disappointed. I just took the washer out and instantly my shower is old faithful 😂.

Ow my Lord it freaking works I have struggled for years with crappy low pressure with my shower THANK YOU I’m putting this on my channel for my peeps
Life changing! Thank you!

Great, helpful, easy how-to video! Especially liked the guest spot with the lil guy with pacifier :)
Glad it was helpful!
I watched your video and we no longer have wimpy water pressure!! Thank you so much for sharing
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
You showed me where the screen and regulator go. No other diy install did. thank you.
Thank you so much just did this and it was like a rocket!!! Thank you again 😊
Your helpers pretty cool! Nice that he’s inspecting your work so you do it right.
Thanks bro, can’t believe it was that easy.
just did this with a drill bit and can definitely tell a difference. might go back with a little bit larger bit after a couple of showers if it's not enough
Awesome Video, thanks for the info, will be put to good use!
I had this same type. I put a drywall screw into it and pulled the screw out with the thing. Great video. Thank you
Thank you so much for ur video our shower now we have a fast shower flow. GODBLESSHYA!
You changed my showering life! Thanks man!
Cleaned that part and it works great now! Thank you 👍🙏
U have no idea…. How best ur solution is….I have been dissing myself after replacing the shower head and was wondering what was wrong with it for the last 1.5yrs of showers…until today. You r awesome dude…thanks much!!
Your kid in the background is so cute. Good, helpful video man!
Thank you So much Man. I took the simple Restrictior off and Now I have Higher pressure now!!! So easy!!!
I just did this with mine. I also drilled out that center hole a good bit bigger, definitely helped with more flow
informative and entertaining. .... your kid is great
I would have been happy with the pressure you had before you fixed yours, but I did the same thing and now the pressure is awesome!
Can’t believe I was able to do this myself…thank you sooooooo much!!!!

It increases pressure on a sink so whats the difference??

Thanks 2 minutes quick fix. Awesome.
This worked perfectly for me! Thanks!!
So happy I came across your video work perfectly now it feels like it's actually cleaning me LOL
Woah, thank you for this! I just did it in 2 minutes and it made a significant difference.
when you get to the blue flow restricter, there is a small black o-ring in it that can be removed to increase flow and pressure. I used a small metal pick to remove it. Now it works great.
Perfect video. I was able to do this within 5 minutes and now I can shower without standing RIGHT UNDER the shower head. Good as new!!!!
We bought a new head and the pressure sucked. Did what your video said and boom... Now it's fantastic and cuts the shower time in half
Best video everrrrrr. Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
Thank Youuuuuuuu Can’t wait to do this tonight!!
Thank you! My shower was like driving 25 on the freeway. Showering that takes so long probably uses just as much if not more water IMHO. Your child is very sweet!
As other videos show, I was able to pull on one of the tabs and the entire restrictor pulled out in one piece.
This did wonders!!! Thank u
Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks , man I went a whole year with different shower heads and now I’m good to go.
Thank you!!!! It's so much better pressure now!!!!
Same pressure but more volume.
Hey Bud , I appreciate it. I believe this is what's causing my shower not to be as hot as I want it and I have the thermostat at 145°.
Well done sir! Worked like a charm
I like the grungy sock trick. Thank you!
I cut my pillow tag off also...
😂😂
Awesome video! Thank you!
Adding this to my to do list.
Thank you this video saved my my sanity

Thanks it worked for me.
Water pressure never changes but the volume does .
Thank you SO MUCH!!
Oh man! Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks bro I had the same shower head, I used a drill to get that plastic piece completely out, now the flow is way stronger!
