Do these restrict water flow? I had a set of another brand that lowered the pressure to my sprinklers so I had to remove them.

I did not have any water flow restriction after installing the quick disconnects. They work good.

Yes, however you may experience diminished flow depending on your water pressure.

I saw some reviews that said it was fine with the restrictor in place and others that said it wasn't. It kind of depends on your local water pressure. It was not difficult at all to remove the restrictor.

Yes I believe so. I have a brass shut off valve on all my hoses in the greenhouse and I have to turn off the hose before I disconnect or I get a face full of water. There is no flow restriction on these.

Yes, if throttle is decreased, water flow restricted or tip is changed to bigger orfice it will effect water presure.

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

Yes. It decreases water pressure to both, but they will work at the same time.

Sort of. If you run one device at a time (just he head or just the handheld) it is unnoticeable. However, if I run both at the same time there is a noticeable drop in pressure to each one. The overall total water flow is still fine. I suppose the limitation might be in my shower control faucet but I don't know if those are made with flow limiters or not.I am very pleased with the unit.

I couldn't say - I've had mine quite awhile in 2 bathroom showers and each is doing its job. I've noticed no difference in pressure.

I'm not sure if this will have much effect if you have one of the 2.5gpm restricted shower heads, but if you have an older unrestricted one it definitely reduces flow. I measured a significant reduction (2.9 gpm vs 3.9 gpm) after installing this. I wound up removing it and sending it back. I'd rather do without the hand shower than reduce the flow at the main shower head that much.

I'm not sure that it CREATES more pressure, it comes out in a very narrow adjustable stream. I have had them for a few months and they work well. Not plastic, but rather brass. you can regulate the stream by rotating the nozzle. They have a rather forceful stream when adjusted to a certain degree. The stream has a surprising length to it.

The 2 that I have purchased work just fine.. Don't think there's a slow flow insert in them..

The unit self doesnt restrict water flow...Im not sure what the adapter is though..

I removed the flow restrictor before I installed it. I think it was inside the part that attaches to the water pipe coming out of the wall. Been a while.... Handheld is not improved by this but main head is pretty nice. Love my deluge!

I have 8 of these on my property and they do not reduce water pressure any more than turning on an outdoor hose bib would reduce water pressure. That's more of a question for your water system than this product. Yes some of my Claber 8410's serve sprinkler drip hoses and they work fine together. I have added a seperate hose shutoff (Claber as well) between my hoses and the 8410 so I can run one pressure into the top of the 8410 yet have two different outlet water pressures/volume depending on the need. They work great. Not cheap but they are well engineered, durable and have held up for 3 seasons to date.

I bought a set about two years ago, and it did not included a pressure reducer. So, you better buy one separately, or you'll risk blowing out holes in your soaker hose.

I restricted the flow on the 2 pumps I bought, it did not damage them. The pump did not work any less just a slower flow of water.
