How to increase water pressure in shower in apartment

Having trouble with water pressure in your apartment? Is the water pressure to low for your comfort? There is nothing to worry about. There are several easy and quick methods of fixing the problem. You could for example; clean the showerhead by dipping it in vinegar, check the main water supply, or you could replace the water-restricting showerhead with one that gives a higher water pressure.
High-pressure showerheads are showerheads that are designed to provide a high pressure water flow to give a massaging, comfortable experience. One such solution is the amplifying showerhead. The amplifying showerheads increase the water pressure and velocity of the water flow to provide a better shower experience.
Types
High pressure showerheads all increase water pressure in similar ways and have similar features. The difference is usually in mounting and that also affects water pressure in some sense.

  1. Handheld showerheads
  2. Handheld showerheads are showerheads that can be handled manually to control where the water flow is needed. Most such showerheads have massage features.

  3. Rain showerheads
  4. Rain showerheads are broad showerheads that are fixed horizontally to give a steady water flow similar to a real waterfall. These can be both ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted.

  5. LED showerheads
  6. Some showerheads come installed with LED lights in many colors. These LED lights can be temperature controlled; shades of yellow for hot water and cooler shades for lower temperatures.


Features

The high pressure of the showerheads is by the pressure chambers which work by adding air to the water in order to increase water pressure. In others the spray can be adjusted to increase pressure.
The defining feature of high pressure showerheads is the high water pressure. High pressure showerheads also usually have the adjustable features most other showers have. Some for example have adjustable sprays; you can control the volume and frequency of the spray. They may even include LED features, chromatherapy and steam features.
The showerheads can come in various styles and designs, depending on the aesthetics of your bathroom. There are different shapes of showerheads; circular, rectangular and square, from which you can choose the one that best suits your bathroom.

Where they can be installed
High-pressure showerheads are normally used in bathrooms in places where the water pressure is normally low from the main source. High pressure showerheads increase water pressure in such cases and resolve the issue. These showerheads can be installed in apartments, houses, gyms or rest houses; for both domestic and commercial purposes.
Durability and ease of use
High pressure showerheads make the experience of showering much easier, and they help rinse the body much faster. The soothing experience is an added advantage. The durability of the showerhead depends largely on the material and brand, but regular cleaning of the pores by soaking in vinegar can increase their life span. High pressure water showerheads are thus easy to use and durable.
