 I am odd, I love this showerhead January 13, 2009

If you search the web, you can find video reviews of this Delta low flow showerhead. Seeing a video review is quite helpful. The consensus; it is a noisy and painful showerhead. If you have normal water pressure and you open the faucet the way you normally would, this showerhead will hurt your skin. Someone I know who tried this showerhead called it a mean angry thing.
I attached a $5 shut-off valve that I got at a big box hardware store to the showerhead so I could lower the pressure and it gives me a pleasing massaging shower at a substantial water savings. I also shut the valve to a trickle while I am lathering to save more water.
The water comes out of the single hole in an undulating fashion sending out some pretty big drops of water at high speed. The water flow is interrupted giving a massaging sensation. If you try it at high pressure, the massage turns into punishment accompanied by the angry drone the showerhead makes. Imagine a cone of water coming out of that single orifice. If you are looking for a standard spray shower pattern, this is the wrong showerhead for you. Consider the Evolve Roadrunner, which I have also tried. I also saw a video review for a Bricor showerhead (only available from the manufacturer) which looked quite interesting.
nice shower head, saves quite a bit of $ May 1, 2009

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this. We've had it for about a year now and love it. Spray is high pressure and you wouldn't know its a low flow. It is self cleaning so no hard water build up. With the high pressure it doesn't take any time to rinse soap. We have save quite a bit of $ on our water bill.
 Good Buy June 18, 2008

For the money this is a good buy. I was not expecting too much from it, other than conserving water. However I was surprised that I still had a decent shower. The water basically comes out of one hole in a forceful mist. I do not feel disappointed with my purchase what so ever.
Most pressure for the money September 21, 2008

I have been testing many low flow water amping heads under $25. This technology has the most pressure by far.
While I tested a PEERLESS one found at Wally world that and this one are made by Alsons and only different in the look of the abs chromed plastic.
The H2O Kinetics is the same in both.
This does use less water than a 2.5 and has a good force with a lower water pressure. My static pressure is 62 pis and this one put out more pressure than all others tested.
I used a psi gauge so know what I am talking about.
However I would say that I felt like the force was almost too much at first. A bit of a sting on my back (and i am male) but I feel that in a few days anyone would desensitize. The water is thrown back and forth in a wiggle and the drops are big. I did NOT have a misting effect over all and felt it was a strong shower.
The single large hole will be good to prevent clogging if you have hard water.
If it is two much force for you, then you can go with the Alsons version with 4 jets. (twice the price) It uses a little more water for some reason even though rated at 1.6 (one assumes 1.6 is 1.6) and since that one divides the force up that shower is strong but with 10 psi less than this one.
It will take a week to get used to the spray pattern but once you get past that it is not the traditional needle spray, you will enjoy that something can live up to its claim of using less water and still amplifying pressure, while still being able to give you a good hot shower.
In conclusion if you are looking to boost your pressure and like a massaging type of shower you can not go wrong with this for the money. You might want to pick up the one under the Peerless name locally and try it and if you like the cosmetic design of the delta, return the local one and get this one.
Good Value July 15, 2009

Bought this about one year ago. This will definitely help you save on both your water bill and your gas or electric bill (depending on which way you heat your water).
I agree with the other comments that the spray is a wee bit harsh but really I don't mind it. I put this in my kids bathroom so when they take their long showers I don't feel they are wasting so much hot water. I find myself sneaking into their shower in the morning before they wake up to use it.
I bothered to measure the flow with a bucket that had a 1.6 gallon line marked on it - and yes this does really use 1.6 gpm.
The other bonus is that your hot water tank is less likely to empty out if multiple people are taking a shower.
Overall a good buy.
