Does the shower head have a flow restrictor in it

No it dont. Been using mine for sometime now and haven't had any problems with it. Feels like rain fall. Pressure is not hard just rite.

I dont believe it does, and if it does it is easily removed. The more water pressure you have the better the shower head works. Its cool....

It does not restrict flow. It works really well to turn off water when hot then pull the chain and full flow begins. It was simple to install and I have used for a few months with great results.

Yes it does. Take note that this showerhead greatly reduces water pressure.

If there is one it must not restrict much because the flow of water is wonderful! We used it at a hotel in Palm Desert and immediately purchased 2 to replace our shower heads at home.

I didn't remove anything such as a 'flow restrictor' that I know of in this faucet - didn't know it came with one, though my contractor might have removed it before I got to it. Mine has the same pressure as my old smaller faucet. However it's absurdly big and probably corresponds more closely to an old kitchen pump from the 19th century than a modern faucet. I wish I'd bought a smaller one.

I don't remember. I think there was a plastic washer that I took out, but I'm not sure. Our does seem to have good flow, so it does not feel like it is restricted.

No... but we have an overhead shower head that mostly directs the water downward.

Yes. and it is on the shower head handle itself. The black little rhing right below the head itself in the picture.

I have purchased two of these filters for two seperate showers. The second one I ordered came with a water flow restrictor ring which was an optional use feature. I used the ring on the second shower and now wish I had one for the first as well. Overall I would say the filter alone does not reduce water flow and if it does it's minimal.

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.

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, and personally I had to remove a flow regulator in the other part of my shower pipe because after a couple years of use, it gunked up and severely restricted flow. After removing that, the water pressure is pretty high, which is preferred by everyone in my house other than me, but before it was just a trickle.

Yes it does. You will find water flow is reduced when using this. I don't know if there are other items in the marketplace that does' affect water flow.

Not sure but for that many sprayers i don't think it has a restrictor. It has less force than a regular head but its probably due to the amount of sprayers p.s we enjoy it

There is no noticeable reduction in water flow or water pressure even with two shower heads in operation.. Love this product.

Yeah, it restricts flow nicely in my experience. I have it right behind a large, 5"-wide showerhead that has too much flow by itself. This little valve is great for adjusting the flow to my or my wife's preferred pressure.

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.
