 Low Flow but High Performance August 7, 2008

I went from a Speakman with the flow control washer removed to this, so I expected to go from one extreme to the other. But the flow on this is surprisingly good. I bought this one instead of the Delta only because they looked exactly the same and I think they are the same, as Delta bought Alsons, but this was a few dollars less.
What's interesting is that even though I can literally feel the significant water quantity difference, I'm using far less water and not missing anything. I'm trying to be ecologically conservative, and this shower head let me save substantial water volume and at the same time it allows for a fast shower with good pressure. It feels much stronger than what I imagined 4 jets would produce; it diffuses the water well so it doesn't concentrate in 4 spots and hurt. If you are switching from a "regular" shower head, especially one with a flow control mechanism, there is a good chance that this will be an improvement in the overall shower experience, while saving lots of water.
Don't forget to wrap the spout with teflon tape before you screw this in or you may have water leaking.
Definitely does not feel like a water-saving showerhead March 8, 2009

I am tired of energy/water-saving showerheads. So many say they put out a lot of water, but when you try them, they have a paltry amount of water coming out. How can you feel like you can take on the day when you always start your mornings with a crummy shower from a cheap showerhead?
This showerhead is one of the few that seems to defy the "water-saving" law. The shower puts out so much water on its high setting that you are left thankful it doesn't put out even more water. Strangely, the showerhead is very quiet compared to many other showerheads which try to maximize the feel of the water.
Although the price appears to have recently raised, this Alsons showerhead is a great buy for the money.
Enjoy your shower for a change and stop putting up with the dumpy showerheads hotels use.
UPDATE: After more than a year of use, this showerhead is the one item I and my wife most enjoy about getting out of bed every morning. We generally leave it on its high setting except for when washing hair or shaving. It calms us down at night and wakes us up in the morning.
This showerhead is strangely super-resistant to calcium clogging. We have some calcium deposits at the circular edge of the black center area you see in the picture, but nothing near the water vents and definitely nothing affecting water flow.
Awesome performance, unbeatable value May 2, 2009

I've had this shower head for about 8 months and can't say enough about how great it is. Attach in moments and enjoy a comfortably higher-pressure shower accompanied by the satisfaction of saving water at the same time. The spray feels even and comfortable, rinses soap quicker than its high-volume predecessor, and though I can perceive some air noise when I think about it, it's not enough to be bothersome. A great shower head at a fair price, even apart from the low-flow benefits. I'm actually requesting my city's "green department" make them available to all households, starting with low-income families who'd benefit most from the savings. A boost to our economy and long-term reduction of our utility burden.
Excellent Value August 31, 2009

Same exact showerhead as the Delta Faucet 75152 Water Amplifying Adjustable Showerhead with H2OKINETIC Technology, Chrome. I bought the Alson's at $17.00 via Amazon. Now I see it's $25.00 plus tax--the same price as the Delta. I'd get the Delta because their service is good.

The Alsons Shower Head was easy to install and does exactly what it is advertised to do. With the adjustable water flow control lever you can select a gently stream or a powerful hard stream and yet the amount of water actually used is still a reduction from the standard shower heads. You get reduced water use, reducing your water bill, without sacrificing shower head performance. I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys taking a shower, but wants to reduce the cost of water consumption.Alsons 657CBX Fluidics Shower Head with Flow Control Lever, Chrome Finish
