It’s not attractive but it works. The slimline small bell design uses the lower water pressure well. We’ve used it for years.

Think of it this way — the pipe gives out water. If you take that water and force it into something that is 6 inches wide with 100 little holes, it will have to lessen the pressure merely because you’re diffusing the water over 6 inches. If you concentrate that water into a cylinder you get the full pressure of that water, coming through the 50 or so little holes that they’re allowing to spread a smaller amount.

My hair has started to gray. I had to start using conditioner. And 15 seconds of rinsing the conditioner works perfectly. And I live in California.

That's the one I mentioned before. I've been sold on them for twenty years at least.

Drive to Oregon, Nevada, or Arizona, have a weekend mini-vacation and pick one up there. Otherwise you can just drill out the small hole.

If you find a brand you are interested in, try Ebay

I got a cheap one years ago bro at Home depot and it has been fine as wine. I give it some of that lime away stuff every once in a while in a bowl to keep it clean and lean.

I thought it was, and I thought a picture would help. Also, if the description says “rain” you won’t like it.

I removed a couple in my bathrooms and find I showered much quicker than before.
Likely I'm saving water too, but I don't believe I'm wasting it either.
I use a simple 'star' shower head as all I need is lots of water FAST and I'm happy.

Amazon said they wouldn't ship a regular shower head to CA. What to do??
Cut your hair?

When I clicked on your link, it said the unit pictured cannot be shipped to my location (which is also California).

Maybe it used to be OK and we have been restricted further?
