How do you remove the water restrictor on this model?

As one of the reviews said, "use a wine opener". I did and the restrictor came right out.

I understand it is not easy but I did not need to remove mine as the flow is substantial as is. I'm quite fussy about the water pressure and this Speakman is great. I love it.

The part where you see in the picture where the water is lifts out of the base. There is a knob to unscrew and take off. It is easy for me to do. I used to have another humidifier that it was so hard to screw off the base because I have arthritis really bad in my hands. I can unscrew this top just fine. I hope this helps. This is the best humidifier I have had.

removing the restrictor is first of all dangerous. second it voids the manufacture warranty. and is not advised.

How about reading the manual. It's online. Pull out the water container. Reach in and pull the filter down. It is towards the the front of the unit. Wash, dry and replace.

I purchased the regular flow, but when costco was selling the low flow I did call Hansgrohe to check whether it was possible to remove that piece. They said yes it was possible. Look them up online for phone # & perhaps can tell you how. Otherwise plumber can do it.

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.

At the end of the handle is a clear water reservoir. You slide the clear resorvoir down and off. On the top is a rubber stopper. Pull out the stopper and fill with water. Replace rubber stopper and slide back onto the handle.

Removing the flow restrictor is absolutely necessary for good pressure. Directions are included and it's very easy. I am very happy with this combo.

AnThe handle for the "filter holder" can be found inside along with the water reservoir. When you open the top lid to pour your water into the reservoir, you should see the top of the handle on the left of the reservoir. Pull up and at the bottom of the handle( it is about 6" long) is the small carrier for the filter that is the same shape of the filter. Snap apart and replace filter. Snap shut and slide it back in its place beside the reservoir. Hope this helps. swer here...

not hard to do. u need to turn off the water so there is no pressure. then unscrew one at a time. some water will drip out. i put a plastic bucket under it to catch the water. be alert to the rubber o rings. have an exta one on hand along with some silicone grease to put back on the o rings. do not have to really tighten them hand tighten and then say another half turn.the insides of my canisters were really dirty so i had to clean them out also. in total i spent say 2 hours to change the filters.

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!

The water reservoir is in the handle. Slide it out by moving it towards the cord. Once it is removed you will see a small hole at the top of it with a plastic cover on 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.

Assuming it's the same model, it's kind of tricky to visualize which way to turn the filter to remove it. It should have come with a weird, hoop wrench which you slide up the filter casing and then rotate to the left (lefty loosy). You can only really get enough torque if it's mounted in its bracket. Be sure to turn off the intake valve or the water main first and open up the filter spigot, in case this additional pressure seals the filter casing tighter. Hope the helps!

You can always remove the water restrictor on both the mounted and handheld showerheads if the pressure isn't high enough. I'm not sure if that breaks any laws but plenty of people do it. It's basically a disc with a hole that you can easily pry out.
