SparkPodShower Head - High Pressure Rain - Premium Quality Luxury Design - 1-Min Install - Easy Clean Adjustable Replacement for Your Bathroom Shower Heads (Luxury Polished Chrome, 6 Inch Square)

We custom built our home years ago, and we choose a Hansgrohe fancy shower head from the subcontractor. I didn't quite realize how much it cost, but when I went to buy a replacement, I had major sticker shock. I found this item and figured it was worth taking a chance on a "cheaper" shower head. I'm glad I did, as it works well. My wife says she cant' tell the difference between the expensive Hansgrohe versus this one, and this one was about 10% of the price. In terms of looks, the fancy one is prettier, but let's be honest, who really looks up at the shower head? The last shower head lasted 10 years -- even if this one doesn't last that long (let's say only 5 years), I'm still winning. It's so easy to install yourself so for me there was only the cost of the new shower head. Do I like it as much as the original, maybe 80-85% as good. Do I like it enough to save over $220 on it, absolutely. Honestly, until I filled out this review, I haven't thought about it since I installed it, which tells you how much it doesn't matter to me. I would definitely recommend this as a replacement. Comes with a regular mesh screen, a 1.8gpm restrictor, and a 2.5gpm restrictor.

Wow! What a difference this makes! Our house has low water pressure on the 2nd floor. We had high end Handsgrohe fixtures, but the water flow from the shower heads has been abysmal. I had a plumber out to explore increasing pressure to the house, but that wasn't feasible. I considered having individual pressure pumps installed for the two upstairs bathrooms just to deal with the water pressure. This morning I replaced one of the shower heads with this new one--and problem completely solved! Water comes powerfully through the head, and rinsing shampoo and conditioner is now quick and easy. Installation was simple. The shower head comes with a flow restrictor, and it is necessary to remove it. I used a pointed tweezer to dig it out. I then installed the (included) screen, and simply screwed on the new shower head. Some reviewers commented that after removing the restrictor they were deluged with water as if poured from a bucket. I suspect that these reviewers neglected to install the screen after removing the restrictor. If the water flow is too intense, a second restrictor is included in the box which restricts flow less than the one that is pre-installed. Seems to me that one of these restrictors--or no restrictor--should be suitable for almost any water supply situation. Highly recommended.

Thisbis our 2nd purchase of this since our 14 year old loved the one we got in the master bathroom, we got one for her bathroom as well. Worth every penny, especially if you switch out the water saving insert for the next size up they provide. Without any insert its like Niagara Falls which is unbelievably amazing but probably not sustainable or responsible. So we only did it once. But i would recommend to anybody once.

This was a snap to install. I didn't even need plumbing tape to achieve a leak-free connection, but your experience may be different. The item comes with two different flow-restrictors, but you can also use neither to achieve a super-strong spray. My only wish would be an adjustable spray control, as the three options you get from using either or none of the flow-restrictors doesn't quite find my sweet spot. Great value for the price, and when it installs with no frustration, it's an extra plus.

Love the SparkPod shower head! Living in California where the 1.8 GPM water flow restriction is code, that was fine to start with, but the SparkPod made it incredibly easy to swap out the 1.8 GPM flow restrictor and replace it with the 2.5 GPM version, which comes included. That changed everything. The spray is powerful and wide, hitting shoulder to shoulder. You can even ditch the restrictor all together and just use a screen, which is included as well. Highly recommend.

This shower head by Sparkpod is incredible! We had a Jolie shower head with a filter, but the shower head lost significant water pressure after 18 months of use. Granted we have hard water, but I always make sure that my water softener has salt in it and I’ve used white vinegar to rinse and clean out every so often. After having low water pressure for a week, I figured I would clean out the showerhead with white vinegar, but it didn’t do any good. I thought it was because we installed a brand new washing machine and something was going on with the plumbing in the house (that’s what Google told me LOL). So I called my plumber out twice, but he said nothing was wrong both times. After 3 months of trying to figure this out, and my wife and I suffering without water pressure in the shower, I finally went on Amazon and found this showerhead by Sparkpod. I installed it in less than a minute, turned on the shower, and immediately saw the water pressure was very good, even with the 1.8 gallon/minute flow restrictor. It comes with a 2.5 gallon/minute flow restrictor for even higher water pressure, but I seriously doubt you will need that. We finally have our spa-like, rain head shower back and it’s incredible. What’s even more incredible is this showerhead is less than 50 bucks. A Jolie replacement showerhead is $165…What a rip off! We are so happy with the Sparkpod showerhead and I would recommend it to anyone!
