Product Information

Full details

The Croydex Presion Pressure Boosting Shower Head is designed for homeowners experiencing low water pressure. Its primary benefit is significantly enhancing shower flow without requiring complex installation or additional plumbing, transforming a weak stream into an invigorating experience. A potential caveat is that it's optimized for low-pressure systems and may not be necessary or ideal for homes with already strong water pressure. This shower head offers a simple, effective solution to improve your daily shower, featuring a large 110mm diameter head, a removable faceplate for easy cleaning, a universal BSP connection, and an optional water-saving feature.

FAQs

How does the Presion shower head boost pressure?

It works by constricting the water flow through a series of small jets, similar to a nozzle on a garden hose. This increases the velocity of the water, creating a sensation of higher pressure and a more powerful spray.

Is installation difficult?

No, installation is very straightforward. It screws directly onto most standard shower hoses and typically requires no tools beyond gentle hand-tightening, or a slight adjustment with pliers if needed.

Can I use this with my electric shower?

Yes, the Presion shower head is designed to be compatible with electric showers, as well as wall mixers, bath mixers, and power showers, especially those suffering from low pressure.

How do I clean the shower head?

The faceplate is removable for easy cleaning. You can detach it and gently clean any limescale or debris with a soft brush and mild detergent. Wipe the rest of the shower head with a damp cloth.

Does the water-saving feature reduce the shower experience?

The optional eco-water saving feature is designed to reduce water usage by up to 50% while aiming to maintain a satisfying shower experience. For maximum pressure, you can choose not to engage this feature.

What is the diameter of the shower head?

The shower head has a large 110mm diameter, providing a wide and comfortable spray pattern.

What type of connection does it have?

It features a universal 1/2" BSP connection, which is standard for most shower hoses.

Troubleshooting

Shower head has very low water flow.

Ensure the faceplate is clean and free from blockages. Check that the shower hose is not kinked. Verify that the water pressure from your system is not excessively low, as the Presion shower head amplifies existing pressure.

Water is leaking from the connection point.

Check that the rubber washer is present and correctly positioned inside the connector. Try tightening the connection slightly by hand or with pliers, but avoid overtightening, which can damage the threads.

Pressure boost is not noticeable.

Confirm that the shower head is installed correctly and that the water is flowing through it, not bypassing it. Ensure the eco-water saving feature (if applicable) is not engaged if maximum pressure is desired. The effectiveness depends on the starting water pressure of your system.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean the shower head with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
