How strong is the Eco setting? I know this largely depends on house pressure, but different heads perform differently at the same pressure.

You're right, it would depend on your water pressure. In my house I would say eco is about 80% of full pressure. I keep one head on normal and one close to stop. That is a cool feature, these don't click between settings but are more like a dimmer. Love this shower head!

I am running an instantaneous hot water system, which reduces pressure in the line a bit anyway. The pressure from both or one head wont sting your skin but it floods your body all over. The pulse is pretty good but nothing like a spa bath. The eco setting shuts of one ring of holes in the shower head but dosent increase the pressure. Great shower head and in Australia this head is over $1000.00. Also great for two people in same cubicle.

This is without a doubt the best shower head I have ever owned.Powerful pressure.Feels great.

Pressure variance is limited to high and low unless there is a governor underneath the hood. Changing pressure is done by changing nozzles which is simple and quick. Best pressure unit I have used

I have medium to low pressure and have two connected and have no problem. I also turn it up a little higher when the pressure is lower. They work great. Hope this helps

This head is specifically designed for use on systems with low pressure. It will work well on systems with high pressure as well. There should be no reason to modify it.

It depends on what you're using it for. I have to have a fluid head myself though.

it's pretty strong! I know there are others out there that probably have more water pressure, but this one works great for me! It's a bit louder than my old shower head, but I realize now that that one must have just been a trickle compared to this shower head!

I use Eco mode for close-up heating - - when I'm sitting at the computer and just want to heat my immediate area. It doesn't force the heat out to the same extent as on high, so you can keep it closer to yourself (or whatever you want to be warmer). I don't think it makes sense to have it oscillate in Eco mode, since it defeats the purpose of lower heat for a smaller area.I also use Eco mode in my bedroom - - so I can keep the rest of the house even cooler - - so the fan doesn't alternate higher and lower, disturbing my sleep.

Unrestricted. The pressure is controlled by the type of shower nozzle on the main arm. If you have a wide head, be disappointed. If you have a barrel head type.. It makes the spray harder and directed and reduces water consumption.I love this unit... Go for steel... (chrome or brushed nickel) stay away from plastic.. I put in 2 showers and gave one to son. Go for it. You wont be sorry. RG Myrtle Bch SC

Hi I'm Moor concerned That you may have a loss of pressure for a effective cleaning due to lower pressures of electric models. I use a generic gas 3100 psi. and I due notice a bit of a drop in pressure. the wand it self for me is awesome. I'm a painter and power wash every job before painting, no moor ladders for those two story houses.

Yes pressure gets the job done, of course it is not the same as unrestricted but we are happy n for the price.We purchased three of theses units.

I run mine on 1/2 acre with 6 zones and 29 heads and it is great. There are a lot of variables for how well this would perform. I had mine professionally installed, and the installer was surprised by how low the pressure output was given the 2HP motor (32-35PSI). Again, that could be due to multiple factors. What I can say, is that this is a very solid pump and while it won't take the paint off of your neighbors car, it quietly and consistently gets the job done. This is not a two stage pump. I am not a professional, but given your lawn size and amount of heads per zone I would make me feel uncomfortable buying this. You may want to look into two stage irrigation pumps.

I also wondered about this when I first bought this shower head. We live in the country, we're on a well, and we have lower water pressure than you'd have in most cities. I have our pump set for 40 (lower) to 60 (upper) psi water pressure. I'm perfectly happy with the performance of the Speakman at this pressure, and I never removed the restrictor.

Mine comes out strong except when I have all 8 on . If you are having low pressure with 4 then it may be the unit.

You can set it to different psi depending on what you need to do ! I have found that I keep mine pretty low, around 30 - 35. I don't get as much aerosol of the color I am using. When I had it set higher there was blue everywhere. You can't see it but then when you wipe off your surface the cloth or sponge will be the color you used !

I believe that this uses a 3 stream for the focused setting. It seems like it would be able to work on a small concentrated area. However, for "people", not the best shower head in the world. I'm still using it and can't quite put my finger on what it is that I don't like about it but I am just not that happy with the thing. I think that the pressure is terrible using this head. The 3 stream is the highest pressure but it is super weak and too small too quickly rinse a human.

The temp is control between 1-10 I put it on 10 to build pressure and when its in the green I put it around 7 and then set timer for around 55 minutes the pressure is at around 270f /130 c and work fantastic i have model 50x 240 volt hope that helps you I have a tattoo Shop so we use it a lot and never fail a spore test

Some diffuser require higher pressure to work. Easier to adjust at set presure. Worth the money
