Showerheads

Showerheads — GPM, spray modes, rain vs handheld, hard-water filtration.

Large rain showerhead mounted on ceiling, clean product photography

Flow rate (GPM) determines how much water a showerhead uses — and largely determines spray feel. Everything else — head type, spray modes, filter media — is secondary to whether the GPM is right for your water pressure and preferences.

Guides

Flow rate math, head-type tradeoffs, spray mode reality checks, and filtration for hard water. Honest buying content.

Troubleshooting Why your shower lost its pressure — and why a new showerhead usually won't fix it A head can't lose pressure — only clog or pass water. Three questions and one 30-second test tell you whether it's a free fix or a supply problem a new head can't touch. Buying guide How to choose a showerhead: flow rate, spray settings, and filtration GPM explained, rain vs handheld vs combo tradeoffs, what spray modes actually do, pressure-boosting head claims tested, and what filtered showerheads actually remove.

Why this page exists

Showerhead marketing is extraordinarily misleading. "High pressure" is not a specification — it's a marketing phrase. The actual spec is GPM (gallons per minute), and the pressure you feel in the shower is determined jointly by your home's incoming water pressure (in PSI) and the showerhead's flow restrictor.

A 1.8 GPM showerhead with a well-designed nozzle pattern will often feel more forceful than a 2.5 GPM showerhead with poor nozzle concentration. This page focuses on the specs that actually matter.
