When using with the culligan raindisk showerhead filter, is it supposed to severely limit the water pressure? The water pressure was fine before.

Yep I'll be happy to ship you the one I purchased because it is in my jiink drawer. Don't waste your money

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

It's not that it's incompatible, per se, but the additional weight makes it nearly impossible to keep it from spinning. That being said, I went through 2 units with them both being defective and blasting water all over the wall. The simple unit by Sprite, the universal shower filter in chrome, that I purchased at a brick and mortar worked perfectly with the two I purchased and both utilize hand held shower heads.

I use a very low flow hand held shower head on the hose, so to answer your question I will have to first remove that to observe the actual pressure coming out of the hose, then remove the hose to compare the water pressure before the hose. I think I'll have time to do that tomorrow. I'll get back to you.

The pressure is not dependent on the shower head. It's dependent on the water pressure of your home. That said, this provides thin narrow streams. In short, this is not one of those "simulated rain" shower heads. Much cheaper and simpler.

Try tightening it all the way. Make sure you use plumber's tape when you install it. I tightened mine pretty tight and haven't had a problem with the main or hand-held shower heads moving

I hope this is the answer to the question you are asking..... It seems to me that it reduces the flow or volume of water that emerges from the shower head. Before installation I had a high volume with strong force.... water splashed out of the shower stall door. After install the water flow was greatly diminished. As I wrote to another person... I installed this in the guest bathroom at my summer home with two goals.... 1) to reduce the mess 2) to provide an unsatisfactory guest shower so that they leave on time and not linger for "a few more days". Both goals achieved.

I don't think i understand your question , is the culligan wall mount causing rust /iron issues? It isn't for me , so i don't know what is going on or why the filter would be doing that or the chrome itself shouldn't be. I have clean water coming out of mine and no orange coloring on anything.

It appears that there is a flow restrictor in the spray head at the point where it attaches to the hose. I experienced unacceptably low water flow immediately after installing this faucet, so I took another look and discovered the flow restrictor. I removed the O-Ring and the little plastic part with holes in it...then reinstalled the spray head. My water flow is now just right. I went from about .9 gallons per minute to about 1.33 gpms after removing these parts.

It's only done that on mine in one apartment where my water pressure was absolutely awful. Otherwise, both streams are very strong and the stream from the handheld doesn't hit the fixed head.

Sort of. If you run one device at a time (just he head or just the handheld) it is unnoticeable. However, if I run both at the same time there is a noticeable drop in pressure to each one. The overall total water flow is still fine. I suppose the limitation might be in my shower control faucet but I don't know if those are made with flow limiters or not.I am very pleased with the unit.

NO for us. We are on a well and have better pressure than most in our area. My shower head has a setting for water saver that was unusable with the hose that came with it. The pressure is better with this hose than with our previous short hose.

Too many unknowns to answer directly, could be anything from valve not opened fully to sediment knocked loos and lodging in your faucets. The unit itself should not appreciably affect water pressure; in spite of differences in heating mechanism, it is still just a water-in-water-out canister.

i think most people who buy this also change the shower head at the same time, so you won't find many accurate accounts. However, the hole size is smaller than the hole on the pipe coming from my wall, so physically i don't think its possible for it to "not" be causing lower water flow. Our pipes made some weird noises too like maybe it was straining them somehow

Actually I think it improved our water pressure. We have a well and our water pressure is very limited. I think it worked better after I installed the new head. There is a water restrict or inside the head that I removed for our shower and left in for the kids.....I didn't notice a significant diff.

Some times if the filter is tightened too much it seems to shut off the water flow. Try loosening it and see if that works. If not then call your supplier,I have found them to be very helpful.

I have used these for many years, and I have not noticed any significant reduction in water pressure. We have a drilled deep well in Georgia. You can get significant pressure reduction if a heavy load of sediment builds up in the filter, of course. We change our filter cartridge about twice a year, but, if you have a lot of sediment you may need more frequent changes.

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.
