How do you remove the flow restrictor? Is it difficult?

Before you install pull out the plastic white flow restrictor with a pair of needle nose pliars - takes 4-5 seconds!

There's a white plastic screen filter that has a plastic tab that I just unscrewed with my fingers and there's a red wheel like object that was deeper in that I didn't try to reach in and pull out, but instead I pushed out (using a key) from the other side, it took about 10 seconds to unscrew the white part and 1 second to pop out the red piece, no tools required

Sorry I can't help you because I'm not sure if my guy that installed it did, I know he doesn't like the restrictors and always removes them at his house, but if he didn't I have great flow its a very powerful shower head.

Sorry, but no. I did not remove the flow constrictor, the product works fine as is.

At first, I couldn't get the water tank off - I had to fill it by putting the whole unit under the faucet. Then, my husband got it "unstuck," so yes, you can remove it. My problem with the unit is that I can't get enough pressure unless I put my hand in the water and keep the black plastic thing-a-ma-jig slightly raised on one side. Very annoying!

It's not difficult at all. You just lift up the reservoir by the handle and empty it. Just be careful to let the reservoir cool a little bit. I've emptied it while it's still hot and although it works. you need to be careful.

Have no idea. I took the unit apart and removed the rubber ring. Now it flows real GOOD!

There is a flow regulator on top (little black nob with and arrow) try changing it s orientation until you get your desired flow...hope it helps.

Yes, it really is difficult to remove (I assume because it needs to be water tight. Just keep working with it and it will eventually come apart. HTH

Instead of removing you can drain the backflow preventer. In my opinion, it was easier to remove than drain.

YES! The restrictor can be easily removed by simply simply popping it out with a small screw driver or sharp ponted pick.

I measured the GPM at 2.5. It does not have a flow restrictor that can be removed.

You will have to remove the impeller, it is screwed onto the shaft, standard threads, righty tighty, lefty loosey. You most likely will need to remove the plumbing as will be quite difficult if you don't.

I don't remember. I think there was a plastic washer that I took out, but I'm not sure. Our does seem to have good flow, so it does not feel like it is restricted.

I called their customer service and they said the flow regulator that can be removed is the bright red piece, with a black o-ring in it, behind the shower head (where the big head connects to the arm). There was no white piece in front of it for me. It was difficult to remove. They suggested tweezers or a pen, but ultimately I used a sharp tool in my toolkit that gripped it well and popped it out. A large black rubber ring came out first which might have helped, and I put that back in afterwards, as well as a small metal thing that I didn't put back in. Good luck!

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.

I found out I did not need one. Identify the flow, I took the cartridge out by removing the four bolts that hold it to the impeller housing sweated copper lines to it and re-assembled. When re-assembling use a little Vaseline to hold the o-ring in place and use locktite on the screws. You will need a 5/32 allen wrench.

Yes, it can be done. I've just tried - without any problems, just need to decrease flow control.
