Interesting you mentioned that. I once spent two hours installing a complicated (for me) $260 mixer shower tap. When I finally turned it on, it had practically no water coming out, literally not enough to shower. I narrowed it down to a "water saving" fitting placed between the shower hose and the tap. I removed it and now it works fine :)
It sounds like your water had insufficient pressure. Was it on an instantaneous heater?
The water authority says these shower heads may not be suitable for instantaneous.
Not as good as the free new gas appliances the WA government is giving us to replace pre-1980s ones.
I'm hoping that before the next state election, my power-guzzling old rear-projection TV will be replaced for "free" by the government with a brand new LCD of equivalent size. Gimmme!
From the picture, it looks like a pretty good one. I used to use one similar to that, you can adjust your flow rate, so it's quite ok. But, not sure whether this one is the same as that one :p can just go to bunnings for more info i guess, since we have to go there to swap.
Any similar promo in SA?
Looks like the same ones we got in Vic, some time back. Mine work great, so + from me. (They cost about $20 each to buy here.)
Don't get me started on the useless WA water corp and how they shaft us.
It's hard enough to find a bearable shower head and I'm not trading my existing heads in on something that doesn't even show the flow rate.
"highly efficient" usually means "utter rubbish"
