How is the water pressure? I'm worried the water pressure wont be strong enough... I live in NYC.

We have a well, and our water pressure is lower than city water pressures. We have found the pressure to be more than adequate. I am not using the full amount of pressure because it is plenty strong.

That is always a possibility, I suppose. I have to adjust the control knob down on mine because it comes out so strong it stings. I think it does not take great pressure to make it work well.

If you have decent water pressure now then it should be fine. The size of the hole in the tip of the pik that the water comes out of is so small that it doesn't take a lot of water to move through, but since it's so focused that small amount of water shoots out at a heavy strength. My water pressure is just OK, and after hooking up the Oral Breeze I couldn't even tell the difference. I've been using my Oral Breeze for 5 months now almost daily, when I'm out of town I actually miss my morning routine and wishing I could bring it with me. I don't think my teeth have ever been this clean on a constant basis. If you have decent water pressure now then it should be fine.

We have fairly low pressure in the house we live in. The water pik isn't near as powerful as the sonic-water one my dentist uses during my teeth cleaning, but I'm satisfied that the ShowerBreeze does a good job of cleaning my gums as long as I hold it close to my teeth and turn it on full pressure.

All depends on your shower. But I have it open no more than 10-20% of full power. Any more than that tickles. I love this thing

My water pressure is high as well. The hose should work for you. Owned for couple years and it appears to be indestructible. This particular hose was recommended to me prior to purchasing. Glad I listened, don't believe I will ever have to replace.

I don't know. It is fairly low pressure but I don't know the psi. It is definitely less that San Antonio residential water system pressure.

The water pressure is fine at my house so I can't answer if it would help your situation.

Yes the pressure is balanced, great water fall feeling. I highly recommend this shower head, very attractive as well. For the cost you can't beat it!!!!!

Thanks! I did end up buying the Sunpentown and it was amazing - can't believe the amount of water that thing sucked up. You could hear it outside my apartment door but I never got any complaints from the neighbors, so all good.

As long as there is water pressure there is no reason it won't keep up. As long as the city has backup generators to keep the pressure up you should be fine

I think it would work but the water pressure may not be as strong as you would like it to be.

We did not get it for the pressure. We got it for the ease of cleaning and the size. Our water pressure is fine. We just installed one for my 81 year old mother and she loves it.

Water pressure is great for me. I think pressure is independent of shower head. If your location has poor pressure no shower head can improve it.

Sorry, I have never had the problem of low water pressure ...... I've always used my Gilmour sprinkler (without problems) w/sufficient water pressure.

The pressure should be OK. You may want to use different shower head than the one provided with the filter.

We havent had any problems with standard model ,but I'm guessing your water pressure setting would make it a problen if turned up too high.

I have a 2 bedroom as well , it is fine for me, the water doesn't get super hot and you gotta keep the flow down somewhat or it won't keep up but the space I saved and knowing hot water only heats up when I turn it on is great , I happy with it.

The water pressure is good, will be close to the actual pressure that you have with maybe a little bit of improvement. nothing noticeable for me.

My water pressure is normal. I couldn't answer that question. But it works very well on the shower were I installed it.
