Does this decrease the water pressure significantly ( I tried a Culligen that reduced the pressure about 90%...not acceptible).

I've been using this product for almost 3 years now and I'm very please with it. I haven't seen a decrease in water pressure.

I wouldn't say 90% but it does decrease it a little bit (at least in my shower), although not enough to be a problem for getting soap out of my long hair or anything like that....but for me, the benefits of it taking the rust out of the well water and keeping my colored hair blonde is well worth the decrease in water pressure.

In comparison to the other shower head I had on there that did not have a filter, there was no decrease in the shower pressure for me.

This does not give a strong water pressure, and didn't last very long, although there is horrible water quality here.

Yes it does reduce the flow by about 15-20% unfortunately. Just had to take it off and re-do the teflon tape on it and used the showerhead without this diverter. It's solidly built and made out of metal. Well built

No problem with water pressure. We have two. One in our bar sink. Both work great

There is no noticeable reduction in water flow or water pressure even with two shower heads in operation.. Love this product.

Yes I've heard about but haven't noticed personally a drop in water pressure though

I have not experienced a noticeable drop in water pressure with this filter

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

I have poor water pressure too. I found that while it didn't turn my shower into a fire hose, it did increase the water flow and being higher diameter, covered more area.

We have been using these for a long time and have two different filters in line.There has not been a significant drop in pressure, however, we have not put any pressure meters on our water lines.It does take out a lot of junk and we replace it about every 3-4 months

My apartment has terrible water pressure as well, and without this shower head it was little more than a trickle. The original shower head didn't project water at all, it just ran more like a faucet. Once I installed this head the difference was dramatic and it will easily spray all the way to the back of the tub and beyond if you're not careful. It's still not as satisfying as a shower with normal/high water pressure, but it's worth it's weight in gold if that's not a possibility. I would recommend it!

I hope this is the answer to the question you are asking..... It seems to me that it reduces the flow or volume of water that emerges from the shower head. Before installation I had a high volume with strong force.... water splashed out of the shower stall door. After install the water flow was greatly diminished. As I wrote to another person... I installed this in the guest bathroom at my summer home with two goals.... 1) to reduce the mess 2) to provide an unsatisfactory guest shower so that they leave on time and not linger for "a few more days". Both goals achieved.

The water pressure for me is just as strong as the pot filler. I find that the water pressure drops a tad bit, only if the pot filler and the sprayer are on at the same time. Otherwise, the pressure on both the sprayer and the pot filler is very very good. Hope that helps.

Well if you don't care about saving water, this Delta is for you. It will not increase water pressure, but it will give you all the volume of water you want. Don 't be fooled by the picture however, nothing about this item is metal. Yep, it's all plastic. Personally, I wish it did aerate the water and boost up the savings. That being said, I still like the Shower Head.

We also felt that the pressure is low, but we decided to leave this as is for water savings. Send your request to manufacturer, Phister Customer's Service is exellent. (they helped us more then expected, sent us a lot of spare details without any charge). Good luck

It Does Stop But Depending On The Amount Of Hardness Of Your Input Water Seems To Affect The Rejection Rate And It Runs A Bit More Than What I Actually USE. So I Seem To Use More Water Overall.

No. It doesn't hold the position, you have to hold it, but it does not seem to affect water pressure. I really like this little faucet and use it quite a lot.

I honestly don't notice a water flow reduction - and if there is one it is not close to 1/3. I have owned this brand/model for many, many years (I am currently using 5 of them) and when one goes bad I definitely notice the reduced flow rate. For me, the convenience of having these timers far outweighs the infrequent problems that I have with them.
