It offers a simple yet effective way to control water flow, with the caveat that very low flow rates might impact water pressure perception for some users.

Key features include easy installation, durable construction, and significant savings on water and heating bills.

It will reduce the flow rate, which some users may perceive as a reduction in pressure. The pack includes two options (6LPM and 8LPM) to help you find a balance between savings and shower experience. The 8LPM setting typically offers a good compromise for most users.
Start with the 8LPM restrictor. If you are satisfied with the flow and want to save more water, try the 6LPM restrictor. If the 6LPM feels too weak, switch back to the 8LPM.
Yes, installation is straightforward and can usually be done in a few minutes with no special tools required, beyond a wrench to unscrew the hose if needed.
It is compatible with shower heads that connect via a standard 1/2 inch shower hose. It's not designed to be installed directly into the shower valve or head unless specified by the manufacturer of those components.
Savings vary based on your current water usage, shower habits, and the cost of water and energy in your area. However, a reduction of 20-40% in water usage can lead to significant savings on both water and heating bills over time.
No regular maintenance is required. However, periodically checking for and cleaning any limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas, can ensure optimal performance.
This restrictor is designed for standard 1/2 inch shower hose connections. If your hose has a different fitting size, this restrictor may not be compatible.
Ensure the shower hose is securely tightened onto the shower head. Check that the restrictor is seated correctly and not damaged. Consider using plumber's tape on the threads if the leak persists.
Try the higher flow rate restrictor (8LPM instead of 6LPM). Ensure the shower head itself is not clogged with limescale. Check that the main water valves to the shower are fully open.
Verify that your shower hose has a standard 1/2 inch connection. If it's a non-standard size, this restrictor may not be compatible.
