| Hi, my water is supplied by a small community well system (9 houses). The pressure and flow is less than adequate; that's not going to change.
I just completed a new master bath remodel and installed the above shower bar system, as well as a Grohe rainhead. Surprisingly, the rainhead gives me better pressure than the handheld. There is not enough pressure to really use the Trio to its full potential, so I want to remove the flow restrictor. (I can only use one shower head at a time). I removed it from the hose, took out the filter and can see another little plastic doohickey, that I assume is the flow restrictor? If that's it, how do I get it out? Want to make sure that's it before I get too aggressive trying to pull it out. Thanks. |

| Do you think what I've described is the flow restrictor...right below the screen? If only I had a drill. |

| You may be able to reach in with needle nose pliars, or tweezers, and unscrew or pull out the 'plastic doohickey'. |

| Thanks Randy...guess it sounds like that doohickey is the flow restrictor. I'll get some pliers and give it a go. |

| Well, I pulled it out with a crochet hook; it was the flow restrictor and hurray, I have water flow/pressure vastly improved in the hand held. |
