Does this shower head have pressure balance/scald guard?

This only attaches to existing shower pipe, and from what I understand that feature would be set within your on and off handle not the shower head itself.

It doesn't have scald guard. I am not sure on pressure balance other than it said on packaging a specific gpm

No, it does not have scald guard. I think you need an on off switch that allows a trickle rather than an off position. I thought it had it when I bought it, but it doesn't. I don't really know what pressure balance is, but the pressure seems pretty good, but I think it is determined just by what our house system offers.

Yes, it does. The shower is basically just a tall narrow reservoir. Without the pressure from the hose, water line, or spigot, it won't work. Mine is piped into a pressurized line and I put a T on it so it only is under pressure when it needs to be. The stored water in the reservoir gives a minute to two minutes of hot water. I doubled that by installing two, side by side.

No it does not. I t has a button to bleed down the pressure but does not hold it.

I needed to order an extended flange for my sink and don't recall if it also had a splash guard but I ended up with a spare so I just keep it for that.

I dont believe it does, and if it does it is easily removed. The more water pressure you have the better the shower head works. Its cool....

It doesn't produce pressure. Your home water supply does. However, the pressure supplied to it will determine its heating effectiveness. Too much pressure will reduce its ability to heat as a higher pressure increases water flow. At a sufficiently low pressure and flow it produces nice hot water. At the rated 1.6 gallon per minute most new showerheads are designed for its fine for one fixture at a time.

I haven't noticed any pressure. It's also adjustable so even if you believe it does, you can adjust it to where it doesn't.

Yes. There is an adjustment knob on the side. You can adjust the pressure too a rain like stream, but this head is made more for folks with low water pressure to feel more pressure

none.The shifter handle that mounts on the wall, does it all. off/on hot/cold.You may want to remove screens and fittings from inside the showerhead, if you have hard water.

Yes it does! It is a very nice showerhead with several different spray options.

No it does not decrease pressure, simply diverts the water from the shower head to a hand held side spray

No. Its only the vynle, but it has a little heft so it stays put. It is nice and long. Great for my standup shower. Goes from nearly the very top with a few inches left at floor.

YES it does. Also, keep the head free of deposits and it will last for many years. We are fans of Grohe shower heads.

Not sure what you mean about reducing pressure you can only have either the shower head OR hand held unit operating at one time. I did not notice a drop in pressure to the shower head from when I installed it.

My husband and I purchased this for our new master bathroom. I was also worried about the water pressure, but have been pleasantly surprised at how well this performs. It is not the STRONGEST water pressure I've ever experienced, but find it to be quite adequate for rinsing my hair.

Not sure I know exactly what you are looking for, but we have good water pressure at home, and the shower head allows it to flow well and the different flow adjustments switch smoothly. Very happy with it.

When in the position that allows both the hand held and shower head to spray water...YESIf position on only shower head or only hand held, I don't notice any pressure loss
