Delta IN2ITION Blue Water Flow Restrictor Removal for Shower Head and Wand 

I didn't have the exact model but got the same idea. I knocked Mines out and woah....what a difference. Thank you for the video. Help me and my family out a ton.

The blue one is the one that matters! The white ones in the handheld wand are more like valves to keep the water going the right direction. I tried removing just one of those and it made no difference in the water pressure/flow. The blue one is the baby you want. Thank you!

Sometimes we overthink things. This was the easiest way to do this for sure. Thank you.

Works for my new Arvo shower head too. I didn’t have to take out the wand restrictor. Thanks bud.

This video saved me the hassle of taking the whole thing back to the store. I was getting so mad with the water pressure. Thank you.

Thank you!!!! This did work like a charm! To remove the restrictor in the wand I used a very small flat head screw driver (for eyeglasses) and once it was wedged between rubber gasket and side, turned/rotated the restrictor a bit with the screw driver and it popped out. Looking forward to my shower in the morning!

I was shocked that this worked for us! So easy to do. After reading comments, we only took the shower head blue one off, did not mess with the detachable wand.

Followed this. Took me literally two minutes. The water pressure now is unreal! If there are any in the wand I can't imagine. The wand now has so much pressure it actually pushes the wand back away. My pressure now is amazing with only the primary blue restrictor removed. Thank you!

+1 Great vid. This pretty much doubled my water volume if not a bit more than double. Took me maybe 10 minutes or so to do, and that was mostly just getting the head off the pipe. Thank you!

Thank you for the great video! I would have taken the screen out thinking that was the problem. I never would have thought to take the blue thing out. I take 3 min showers so I need the water pressure! So thank you!

Thanks for the how to. I realized it was that little black O ring that was doing most of the restrictions. I used a hook tool (PC tool kit) to pull it out. Doubled the water flow! Then I realized, this is my 11 yr old girl's new shower. So, for now I'll put it back and see if she complains🤫

This resolved my pressure issue. Thank you!!

This is what i needed. Pulling it out with needle nose doesn't work on my newer model. This did it! Thanks

Worked like a charm

Thanks. Getting that blue bastard out made such a difference!

This worked great! I watched other videos that said to just pull the restrictor out with pliers. That would never work. You need a lot of force applied in the right way to get the job done. I have this exact model and you don't need to remove the pink doohickie the spray handle. Just the blue one and you'll have plenty of water.

When that bad boy restrictor shot out, it almost broke my window haha jk. Worked great. Water pressure puts me to sleep instead of frustrating me now! Thanks a million.

Totally worked!! Who doesn't like taking a good shower? Knocked out that little piece(it was a little hard to do cuz it's pressed in but it's just plastic) after it came out I'm probably getting more towards 3 gpm!! Not too bad seeing that "actual" high flow heads can be upwards of $150 $54 at Lowes Thanks again RU-vid.

since then, they've added an additional tab to potentially block the screwdriver from going in the hole. A thin enough screwdriver will still fit, though.

So freaking glad that I did this, whats the deal with the low flow anyway sheesh

0:40 We cannot get this piece to screw off! Any tips?

how did you get the spring loaded white one out

This is my 2nd IN2ITION shower head. I had to figure all this out on my own on my first one. This time, my attempt resulted in only breaking out the center of the flow restrictor, but I expect it will have the same result as removing the whole part. I didn't find a restrictor in the wand at all, this time. I'll wait to see if the flow is poor, then go looking for it.

Quick question for anyone. I have the In2ition shower head. I removed the little blue flow restriction piece but I probably took more apart than I needed to. I unscrewed the 'swivel ball' assembly to get that little piece of plastic to pop out. Then when I went to reassemble it I found it took a lot of time/trouble to get the rubber grommet around the ball and the little white plastic washer part to all reseat. I got it back together and doesn't seem to leak & flow is great. But I'm wondering if I got the assembly order of the plastic washer and the rubber grommet wrong. These 2 parts fit around the base of the swivel ball part which is then held onto the the main shower head body with a ring that threads on etc... Does anybody have a diagram or just know which order is correct? Is it swivel ball, washer, grommet, and then the screw-on ring that holds it all together. Or is it the swivel ball, rubber grommet, plastic washer, and then screw-on holding ring?

See that tiny black rubber ring? Stick a needle in it and gently pry it out. That's it. Done in seconds.

I also wonder how you got the wand restrictor out

Worked perfectly. Mine was green and not blue! Ha - ha.

I recently (Sep 2023) purchased this Delta IN2ITION shower head. There was one blue restrictor in the base at the connection to the shower elbow. Easy to remove with a small pair of needle-nose pliers - no disassembly needed. I checked the end of the hand wand, but there was no restrictor there. Full [shower] speed ahead!

Just remove the o ring on the blue thing,the o ring is covering the holes.

Did you put the black rubber washer(Before the blue restrictor) in there again when you put it back on?

Installed a cold only extra head and thus stupid thing made it not even let water out with only one water like incoming.

Mine leaked after i took out the blue restrictor.

The one I got was plastic, so I couldnt dis-assemble the joint to pop the restrictor out. Returning it and just going to keep using my old one which doesn't have the restrictor. How can they rate the gpm at 7.5 with the restrictor?

You do pay for your water, but I wouldn't expect them to reduce your rent because you used less water.
