how do you remove the flow constrictor?

Sorry, but no. I did not remove the flow constrictor, the product works fine as is.

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.

Sorry. I don't know. I've never had a problem with the flow. My Siroflex produces a strong flow.

Unscrew the white part that is between the two chrome parts. There is a little pointed screen with a black rubber part attached to keep it from leaking. There is also another rubber stopper aboue that. Take out the screen and the stopper which is with it. Screw the white back to the chrome. This should do it.

You may have to tighten the drag all the way down, then just unscrew the spool

I used a paper clip that I made a very small 'hook' on the end. I went into the neck of the head and hooked the O-Ring that restricts the flow.

I called their customer service and they said the flow regulator that can be removed is the bright red piece, with a black o-ring in it, behind the shower head (where the big head connects to the arm). There was no white piece in front of it for me. It was difficult to remove. They suggested tweezers or a pen, but ultimately I used a sharp tool in my toolkit that gripped it well and popped it out. A large black rubber ring came out first which might have helped, and I put that back in afterwards, as well as a small metal thing that I didn't put back in. Good luck!

No. These are not flow-control devices, only connectors. The pressure needs to be shut off first... I don't think it will disconnect if pressure exists. FWIW, after getting used to these connectors I am never going back to using the thread-on thread-off attachments.

There is a filter and a flow restrictor. The filter is the first you see and it is white. The flow restrictor is in the ball assembly and is either blue or green. You can remove both, but the filter does not restrict flow, so removing the flow restrictor is enough.

First, examine the threaded end of the 2005. Inside, you'll see a convex debris screen with an integrated black rubber washer. The washer ensures a tight seal to the pipe and the screen filters larger debris before it can enter the showerhead. Remove this and set aside. Tweezers work well. Now you can see the real culprit. The restrictor is white plastic with spokes connecting the inner hub to the outer radius. If you look carefully, you'll also note four white plastic tabs placed like compass points. Of course, it's tempting to think that a firm grasp on these tabs will allow easy removal of the offending restrictor, but no such luck. Use your needle nose pliers, get a firm grip on a tab and prove it for yourself. The restrictor won't budge, but you can break off the plastic tabs (no help). The tabs are for assembly only and they are no help when attempting removal. Nope, this fix requires power tools. So get out your hand drill and a inch bit ... EXACTLY inch bit. And drill out that sucker. The inch bit is self centering (like they WANT you to do this) and since the restrictor is plastic, use a slow speed. But if you're careful, then within a minute or so there will be nothing but white plastic shards remaining, and the restrictor will be no more. Now turn the 2005 over and tap it lightly on a towel. Use your tweezers, whatever, just get out all the plastic shards otherwise they will find their way inside the 2005 and that would be wrong. Reassembly is a cinch. Just replace the debris screen and gasket (remember that the screen should be convex, not concave) and press it into place without damaging the screen or the gasket.

Instead of removing you can drain the backflow preventer. In my opinion, it was easier to remove than drain.

Instructions on how to remove the water flow limiters from both heads are included in the packaging. They both come with limiters installed, and they can both be removed.

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

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.

No. These are not flow-control devices, only connectors. The pressure needs to be shut off first... I don't think it will disconnect if pressure exists.FWIW, after getting used to these connectors I am never going back to using the thread-on thread-off attachments.

Just push down on the coupler sleeve to disconnect. no need to drain the tank

I've never done it, but there's a cap on the other side from the water inlet. I presume one removes this cap and makes the connection there.

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

No, there isn't. You can fit a small screen in the hole, though, like one for a faucet aerator or a pipe screen. It is a little annoying because the hole will clog if you don't do that, but you can tip it back to dislodge any particles and then it will flow freely again.

Slide it up toward the spray outlet. I found that if you grasp the nozzle lock with your thumb and forefinger on each side of the lock it comes out easier. You may have to wiggle it slightly to get it out.
