Wow. I love a strong shower. Despite being a large shower head with a lot of nozzles (so you stay warm and get really wet!), and despite not having great water pressure in my home, this has made showers so much more pleasurable again. Changing nothing else in the plumbing, just the shower head, my showers went from weak to refreshing. And no problem rinsing shampoo or conditioner out of thick hair either.
