Where is the water flow restrictor in this unit? Is there more than one? I'd like to take it off to increase water pressure, if possible.

In installing two of them I did not run across one but the water flow coming out is awesome so I am not sure if there is even one in there.

There is no restrictor. Inside the handle part (which comes apart with a small twist - see locked and unlocked icons on the handle) is the filter tube, which removes chlorine, etc. The pressure flow can be altered on the spray dodk face, using the lever at the side of the face.Hope this helps!

No adjustment on the unit, but water flow can be adjusted with the wall stop (shut off valve). But I don't know why you would want to reduce the flow?

Yes you can and I would recommend removing it before installing it to save you from having to remove it and reinstall it again later because it definitely restricts the water flow with it installed. The directions come with it and easy to understand and the flow restrictor is a piece of cake to remove.

Removing the flow restrictor is absolutely necessary for good pressure. Directions are included and it's very easy. I am very happy with this combo.

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!

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.

Yes, it was very easy to remove, no trouble at all. It has been a while, but if I remember correctly, there may have been two pieces that could restrict flow. Be sure to check for more than one.

I have too much water flow. I had to attach a shut-off shower valve which can also be used to restrict water flow.

I did not try the shower head with the restrictor in. I removed it immediately. Search on youtube and decide if you think you are able to remove the restrictor.

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!

Very low flow. The green screen at the base mentioned by reviewers is NOT the real flow restrictor. The real restrictor is a tiny hole about 1/8-inch diameter, molded deep inside a black tube in the handle. You can't access it without destroying the shower head. See one reviewer's photos comparing the flow restrictor to the size of a pencil point.

Hey Mike I forgot to mention,I don't think they even sell them any more,the old aqua stop,would stop the water flow when you removed it,the newer style has the shut off and you are able to adjust the flow,as well,before you remove it.I'm at vportervint @aol.com if I can help answer,any other questions.

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

No, the brass flow valve does not restrict the flow. We love ours in the shower. We are able to turn it off for washing hair, etc., then turn it back on with full force of water or less if you like. We've had no problems with ours.

you remove the shower head and add an included device with a hose that . I found it works best if you have a shower head that has different water settings- this affects water flow in irrigator. The irrigator has a control of water flow. This would be a better item if there was a control nozzle to reduce shower and increase water pic flow.

It has a very good stream, you should not remove the restrictor. There is a fresh water shortage in the world, we must all conserve!

there is an Anti-burn limiter in the handle control... it is easily moved, but requires you to remove the main handle and stem cover... this btw, is to prevent young/old persons from turning on water that is toooo hot. I set mine up for max hot water as all that use are older.
