[Shop-talk] Good shower head for low pressure

[Brian Kemp]

Regarding the e-mails about showers and low water pressure - Here is 
something some of you might find useful:

I was renting a place with bad water pressure for a while and discovered 
the "Incredible Head" shower head.  A quick search shows 
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000UNU9US/ as an example, but they used to 
be available in many locations.  They don't wear out, so I have not 
looked in years.  The one I use every day I got in 1990.  Every 5 years 
or so I soak it in vinegar for a few minutes and it looks like new 
again.  You can also take it apart if you have junk in your pipes.  This 
is one of the best $5 I've spent.

I was on a two week business trip and stuck in a hotel with bad water 
pressure, so got a second one without the flow control ($2.95 at a local 
hardware store) that I traveled with.  It is smaller than a 35mm film 
canister and provides a nice shower regardless of water pressure if the 
hotel shower head sucks.  See the sample at

As an added bonus, it saves water too.
