Shower Hose Diameter/Water Pressure
I have an inexpensive hose-type shower head (the shower head is attached to a hose, if that wasn’t clear). I’ve noticed that that the ends of the hose have pieces that significantly constrict the effective diameter of the hose, presumably lowering water pressure. Putting water conservation issues aside, do the hoses on more expensive hose/shower…

Putting water conservation issues aside, do the hoses on more expensive hose/shower units have these same diameter-constricting end designs, or do you get more pressure when you pay more (yes, I’ve already removed all removable pieces that were seemingly there to reduce water consumption…)?
Depending on where a faucet is sold, there is a maximum water flow rate that it may pass.
If I may be a shameless name dropper…..
Sarah Jessica Parker is a client of mine. She has a favorite shower in London and when she renovated her townhouse in the West Village, she bought that same model of faucet. It doesn’t work here nearly the way it does in London so we had to swap out the NYC connectors for the UK ones.
So, yes. With some high-end models, they leave you the option to make that adjustment yourself as opposed to building it in.
