Various things you can do to modify a shower head to improve water pressure. In this video, a Delta was used, but could work for other brands as well (Kohler, etc.). For illustration purposes only!
Hi just bought a delta shower head and while in the past had no problem getting the restrictor out the one I got was like the one in your video. I initially didn’t think it would work ( u seemed to be struggling a bit, lol) but did what you did and voila I got the restrictor out using your method! Thanks a lot all good now!
If the showerhead has a filter in it will removing the flow restrictor affect the filter? I assume the filter stays in place even thought the flow restrictor is removed??
That is one cheap made and cheap looking showerhead. I would suggest drilling it out. The restrictor in my Delta showerhead was in the swivel assembly and I had to disassemble it and drive the restrictor out from the back side with a screwdrver. A long 1/4 in. pin punch would have workrd best.
Good thought, could be worth a try. Not sure how easily it could be screwed in as it might be wobbly. Even if so, you likely cannot pull it out by hand, you’ll still need to use pliers and get some oomph/leverage to pull it out
