Is it just me or when you have both the detachable sprayer and shower head going at the same time, the water pressure is very low? Is this fixable?

Pretty sure your water pressure must be low - I get great flow from both when used simultaneously.

I have never had that problem, did you install the regulator that goes with the taps? My husband and I both agree that this is the best shower head ever, so very glad that we bought it.

I found the pressure to be very low. I ended up removing the sprayer and the shower head and getting a new showerhead that I liked better. It doesn't have the sprayer and hose, though. I do like the ability to adjust the temperature on the volume control.

There might be a pressure restricter in the shower head. If so, take it out to get more water pressure.

Pinching the buttons simultaneously will enable you to separate the hose from the shower head. you will find a plastic connector that is screwed into the hose-I believe that is the piece with the water restrictor in it. You can unscrew the plastic piece from the hose which will help you drain water thoroughly. To reassemble, be certain to screw that plastic connector piece securely into the hose then snap the plastic piece back into the shower head. It should be fairly easy and you will hear it snap /click in place. I imagine you've asked the question because you're having some leak or drip...it is difficult to screw the plastic piece in tightly unless it is disconnected from the shower head -though you certainly should give it a try by pressing shower head firmly and twisting...a clockwise twist is needed. Hope that works. Grohe gives terrific phone support and you'll reach a knowledgable someone right here in the States. They'll let you know if you have a damaged part and sometimes they replace it at no charge!

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

It has three different modes, one that is a bit dribbly but the other mode has great pressure. We just redid the plumbing with pex fittings though so that might have something to do with it too. I'm going to say though the water pressure is just fine.

Lack of on/off on the showerhead is an issue if you are in a water-scarce place, like when camping in the desert. I should have paid closer attention to this point and have returned the device unused. I'll use a compressed-air water sprayer and sink sprayer-head.

I have this shower and have not had any problems. Do you think it's defective? It was so pricey I'd check with Amazon to get another one or call the mfg.

Water pressure is about the same on either. Please reconsider buying the fixed shower head instead as there is a design flaw in the wand unit(Check out the numerous "1" reviews" re: the cheap plastic holder. It falls off continuously and will not stay upright due to the weight. Culligan will not return any e-mails. so my advice is to stay away from the wand and go with the shower head unit only

I have not seen a difference with my hard water however I can't seem to find the instructions in reference to the on/off setting. My spray settings slide around fine but this on/off doesn't budge and it looks to me as if it is stuck in between them. I'm unhappy and tired of my orange hair so ready to go to Lowe's and buy a regular filtered shower head

If your shower head is dripping while OFF, it's one of two things. The water remaining in the line is still draining out (shouldn't drip for long) or one of your shower faucet valves has a leak. If the head or hose leaked while the water is turned ON, it would either be the threading needs a sealand like plumbers tape, etc or the head is faulty.

It has for us. It would depend on how much water each draws, we don't have a "low flow" shower head and yet have never had a problem, even with our relatively low water pressure from our local water company. Water temperature has always remained consistent with both (or even the dishwasher instead of the washing machine, which uses less hot water than the washing machine but for a longer period of time) running at the same time.

The water pressure for me is just as strong as the pot filler. I find that the water pressure drops a tad bit, only if the pot filler and the sprayer are on at the same time. Otherwise, the pressure on both the sprayer and the pot filler is very very good. Hope that helps.

I am in the midst of a remodel, and the showerhead has not yet been mounted. However, it looks to me like it has five spray settings, one of which is "trickle". . . i am assuming that means that this is the setting that would be closest to "off", but believe it does not have an "off"switch or setting on it. I am not sure this is helpful to you, but - well, it is all i can offer. sorry.

Kathy, you cannot adjust the water pressure. The only adjustment feature is the type of spray from the shower head.

As you concluded, the water flow is either off or full flow. Whether it is an issue is personal. Many of the new shower heads are limited to 2.5 gallons-per-minute and certain models have a built in flow control. Have been very happy with the Moen unit. Hope this helps.

There is a lever on the side of the base of the unit, so the shower operates on "head only" "handle Only" or "Both." So if you have it on the Head Only setting, the hand held sprayer will be 'off' regardless of if the water is on or not. However, there is no "Neither" setting so water will come out of one or both of the heads (depending on the lever position) if you have the water on. Hope that helps!

It doesn't appear to adjust water pressure- shower head behaves the same just has less volume going through. Its possible that the water pressure is rising with the reduced volume of water. I installed one of these and my wife never noticed- I'm guessing I reduced volume by at least 40-50%. Win win for everyone!
