I can't figure out how to remove the restrictor / regulator. It's a green piece of plastic and I don't see any holes to grab onto for removal.

the whole thing pops out, the black and green part. i grabbed onto any part i could with a needlenose pliars and pulled, it popped right out. flow was still pretty meh, but i never tried it with it installed.

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!

yes, you can remove the restrictors. there are mutliple threads on amazon and other places on how to do this.

There is no restrictor. Inside the handle part (which comes apart with a small twist - see locked and unlocked icons on the handle) is the filter tube, which removes chlorine, etc. The pressure flow can be altered on the spray dodk face, using the lever at the side of the face. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem. If you can't remove it by pulling it as hard as you can. Return the control.If you try to pry it off the control will become damaged. The problem is the clip holding the knob on the stem istoo tight, the hole on the knob needs to be a hair larger

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

It's very difficult to get it out but I used a plias and a hammer and knocked it out, when I placed the attachment in the wrong place. Good luck

If your talking about the airator on end of spout its usually is screen on bottom ,then white plastic piece with holes just sits in grove flat side up then rubber gasket . then just screw it back on. If its a flat white plastic pc with a small pencil size hole thats a flow reducer I just leave them out.

Easily done. Set the showerhead down on a dish towel to prevent scratching it. Use a sharp knife point to pry out the funnel shaped screen at the edge of the black rubber washer. Behind that is a white filter disc ... remove that also. This reveals a green plastic flow restrictor that the manufacturers are required by law to install. It can be drilled out and removed in pieces, but that's not necessary. Use a sharp knife point, tweezers, or small wire (paper clip) with the tip bent at an angle to make a hook to grab the black rubber O-ring and remove it from the green plastic restrictor body. This uncovers the holes and allows higher flow. Re-install the white filter disc, then the wire screen funnel (the point is towards the open threaded end of the shower head water connection). That should do it!

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

On the bottom of the unit there's a plastic tab. It takes more pressure on the tab than I'm comfortable with to release the catch that holds the tube, and you may need to push/pull the tube away from the housing while pressing hard on the tab. Removing the leaf attachment is harder, 'cuz there's less leverage.

It's that gray plastic plug...just pull it out. I don't remember exactly where it was, but it only took a minute or less to find it and throw it out. Just look for the plastic thing that makes the water passage smaller.

I've tried pliers and even a hammer and it still won't budge. If it is not on tight, then it leaks. But as it is nearly impossible to remove, am tossing out the unit today and have canceled my subscription for the filters.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

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.

Yes It has a green plastic restrictor in the handle. Pulled it out with some needle nose pliers. It flows very well.

Yes, you can remove the little green plastic thing. I did so easily with a pair of needle nose pliers. Now, I can use just a small stream of water for greatly improved pressure.
