How do you remove the flow restrictor, can some one please post easy steps?

My husband said ours did not have a flow restrictor as far as he could tell unless it was buried in the middle somewhere. It wasn't part of the assembly.Our water flow is excellent so I wouldn't worry about it.

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.

This was surprisingly easy to do. Use a flat head screwdriver to carefully pry out the black gasket and screen. Set aside. Use a 1/4 inch drill bit and drill slowly into the flow restrictor below. When the drill bit punches through the plastic (60 seconds) pull and out will come the flow restrictor attached to the drill bit. Replace the gasket/screen and you are good to go. This took less than five minutes, and I am not a handy person.

Very easy. There is a gap under the front cover, pull it and it comes off. After the front cover is removed you can clean dust or access the two intake fans.

There is a flow regulator on top (little black nob with and arrow) try changing it s orientation until you get your desired flow...hope it helps.

To my experience all flow restrictors are easily removed, probably because they are only required in the USA and therefor a quick and dirty add on. I just stripped one out of a Hansgrohe hand shower easily with a pair of needle nose, although it might have fallen out with a good shake, but the holder that threads on to the pipe had one that was installed with a one way push in clip. Easily destroyed and removed with a small screw driver, not quite as easy as usual.

I removed the flow restrictor before I installed it. I think it was inside the part that attaches to the water pipe coming out of the wall. Been a while.... Handheld is not improved by this but main head is pretty nice. Love my deluge!

Flow restrictor is usually built in to the water filter. It is required to restrict the flow. Otherwise the RO filter won't have enough pressure to filter water

Intake out take... there is a small circle in the middle on the top of the filter and turns to the left/right that should adjust the flow faster or slower.

Sorry, unable to advise on fan removal. You may want to try Ask.com web site for info, or Ryobi for tech help.

No flow restrictor. Only small sediment filter that can be easily removed by unscrewing the water-head. You can removed easily if you want. But the sediment filter does not restrict the water flow at all.

I did not install a flow meter so I can't be of any help in that regards,sorry!!!!

Yes you can and I would recommend removing it before installing it to save you from having to remove it and reinstall it again later because it definitely restricts the water flow with it installed. The directions come with it and easy to understand and the flow restrictor is a piece of cake to remove.

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.

Couldn't be simpler. Instructions are very clear. Basically, unscrew the faucet "cap" and screw on the filter! We had no need for the adapter components included for some situations. Also included is some plumbers tape, which we did not need. Just be sure to always "click over" the diverter before running HOT water. It ruins the filter. The only problem we had with this filter, and the reason for replacement, is that our Chicago water is terrible -- and the eventually the diverter stopped working (after 4 years). Hope this helps.

Flow restriction. Rip it out with a pair of pliers. It's a little tricky to get out.

YES! The restrictor can be easily removed by simply simply popping it out with a small screw driver or sharp ponted pick.

I changed out ours....the original was cheap and too narrow a flow. It was easy to change it over to a new one.

Ordered the Restrictor Flow Head through Bunns Website and they shipped me two for nothing.. Again, thanks to BKBerger for directing me there.. This did indeed address the overflow issue..Items of note: With the ORIGINAL head, water flows through the unit in just a hair under two minutes w/o any paper filter or grinds. With the REPLACMENT head, water flows through the system in a hair over four minutes. A pot of strong brew with abnormally fine grinds, such as mine, took 5 minutes from lid closure to stream-to-drip transition.Hope this helps.. It helped me!!! The clean up totally sucks!!
