Review on American Standard 1660 710 002 Showerhead Polished by Susan Oliver

Replaced the 2.5 which had the diverter turned on its side so probably dispensed significantly more (didn't know until I took it off). I connected this new head to a check valve for use in lathering. I've used a lot of pipe thread sealant and haven't had any issues with leaks. This head produces a reasonably organized spray. The pressure is not great and it took me about 2 months to get used to the reduced flow. One trick is to make the water hotter than with a more powerful shower. Since it doesn't hit you as hard, you can tolerate hotter water and you'll feel a lot better. When checking the water temperature before entering the water, place your hand at waist level, not directly on your head. I get just as clean, although rinsing takes a little longer and requires more hand rubbing. My wife never liked it but she put up with it. I chose not to try to demineralize it because it just isn't that good. Replaced it with Alson's 1.85 GPM - a huge improvement. Also uses a little more water but feels like twice as much. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017ZB98O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
