i bought this and noticed the water pressure is too strong, is it supposed to come with a diffuser or adjustment mechanism that mine's missing?

No but if you put inline valves you can turn the valves closer to being off to control the flow out of the faucet

I tighted (almost closed) the valves/ register under the sink in order to adjust the water flow. I believe the faucet is designed to provide a lot of water.

no diffuser unfortunately. we actually decided (too late to return it and too much hassle as well, of course) that without the diffuser, it was too annoying and eventually bought a bathtub fixture believe it or not to replace the spout itself. kept the handle and everything else, though.

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?

I agree the water pressure is horrible. I didn't know there was a flow restrictor. Now I will see if I can remove it.

I returned the shower head because of the low pressure. You should spend a little more and get a nice one at bed bath & beyond.

I think you have a defective diffuser! Directions came with mine. Top should remove very easily. Return that for a replacement!

Yes there is a tilt to the part that holds the shower head. There is a very fine hidden screw that allows you to adjust the needed pressure ; mine came with the proper resistance to it. Good luck.

I have not installed mine yet. As for Terry F.`s info regarding the water pressure, my contractor said we will have to install an additional pressure device to make it work real good.

The pressure is set but depending on your diffuser, you can adjust the flow rate down to whatever BPS is desired. If the diffuser has a higher resistance, it will build the necessary pressure to flow but you can then change the flow rate.

I used it with a diffuser and you are correct. Too much power to actually diffuse.

There's a stop valve ;it a bit awkward too operate! You don't have to use it but ;then u loose 15-20psi,just add fews psi that's why mist people do anyways!

Joanne is wrong, sorry. The screen and rubber washer are just that. A screen to keep the inevitable small sand and particles normal in waterlines to keep from clogging further down stream. Only way I can see to increase flow is to drill out venturi in white plastic swivel section. Leave the screen in. I went ahead and tried to drill it out, and works fine. Hole size a received is a little less than 1/8" and I stepped up to 11/64". That's not a huge change, Works fine and did increase flow some.

I agree, do you have any control over your water pressure? Does it vary much? Do you have a water pressure control gauge up line to protect your system from surge? My daughter has the Marey almost a year now, it seems a perfect unit for us.

Mine came with a diffuser, an attachment to focus the heat...but did not come with the sponge-like filter that should be placed in the air intake vent.

It severely limits the water pressure, so great water pressure is unnecessary and pointless with this product. However, adequate water pressure is necessary in order to make it start to light up. Probably like 1.5 gpm or more.

Make sure u take out the plug in the head that regulates the water pressure. Then it's wonderful!! It works like a charm...u will love it!

we had to adjust ours as well...make sure the stream area is clean...nothing blocking it, good luck!

The one I bought comes with its own diffuser, that's why I bought it. Just tried my full size ADJUSTABLE Con Air Pro diffuser and it fits just fine on this small dryer. The diffuser that comes with the dryer is smaller and better for travel. Hope this is helpful!
