Fire Hydrant Spa Carmel Handheld Shower Head with 59" Stainless Hose Verified Purchase

I have purchased/installed/used two of these shower heads. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is interested.

BACKSTORY:
I'm currently renting a new place and I found myself really missing the shower head with a hose from my old home. However, since I'm renting, I didn't want to spend a lot of fixtures. Since this one has a decent price and good reviews, I bought one for my bathroom. Within two days, everyone in the house was fighting over the shower with this in it. I ended up buying a second one within a week. Here is what I noticed:

PROS:
- It looks nice (nicer than I expected for the price).
- It came with clear/easy instructions for installation.
- The installation was a breeze. It took maybe 3 minutes and didn't require a single tool.
- I was worried I might not have enough water pressure for this to work well, but that was not the case. It works very well regardless of the setting. In fact, on some of the settings it actually seems to amplify the water pressure.
- It is very easy to get the shower head in/out of the mount.
- It is easy to change the settings.
- Although it's not pictured, I was able to put my hanging shower caddy back up and the hose/mount doesn't interfere at all.
- After about two weeks of multiple uses daily, it is holding up great.

CONS:
- I'm really stretching to find a con on this one. The only thing that comes to mind is that when I opened the box and picked it up for the first time, I noticed that it was made of a pretty lightweight plastic. That made me question whether it was going to be a quality product. After using it the first time, that concern was relieved right away. This is every bit as good as the more expensive ones I've purchased in the past.

UPDATE:
After 4 months of daily use, both of these are still holding up great. We still love them as much as we did the first day.

I purchased this shower head from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WXPGCSE?ref=myi_title_dp ... not for the advertised high pressure water flow but for the reported help in homes with low water pressure. Our house is on a well and we have really low water pressure. Reading other reviews that this helps houses with low pressure I decided to give it a try. So glad I did, now our shower feels like it has normal water pressure! Plenty of water to rinse off with. As a added bonus the jet nozzles are made of silicone which is great because if they get clogged with sand or minerals all you do is push on the nozzle tips (bend them over) and it clears out the obstruction. As to the size... I'll admit I was concerned after reading that several reviewers expressed disappointment because the head was much smaller than they expected. After reading the reviews I was thinking the photos in the ad might be slightly exaggerated to help show detail. As a result I was expecting to receive a stubby little head about a inch or so in diameter. As it turns out it's actually bigger than the shower head we replaced. Granted its not a huge "rain forest - waterfall style head" but I wasn't expecting one. The shower head is approximately 4 inches tall and just shy of being 3" inches in diameter at its widest point.

I'd like to start off by saying I usually only write reviews when products are NOT great to help "warn/give heads up" to people. Having said that, this product is SO amazing I had to review it. We just moved into a new apartment in the city and love everything except the shower pressure. It was so bad my showers doubled in length and I wouldn't EVER feel fully clean or refreshed after a shower. We spoke to building maintenance and they told us that they had changed the shower head for the previous tenants at least 4 times but nothing seemed to work. They had some fancy expensive shower head on currently so thinking that they had the "best" already installed - I was bummed that this is how we would have to shower moving forward.
Boy was I wrong, and thank GOODNESS. This shower head (not even talking about the price) is the best purchase I may have ever made on Amazon. ( and I buy daily :0 ) My husband installed it in less than 3 minutes, he is not a handy man in any way but it was that easy. He ended up showering first and kept yelling from the shower "WOW this is Night and Day, it's AMAZING, you're going to love it" , he was right. My whole shower I kept thinking it was going to go back to the old pressure of nothing.
I am not sure how this works, but it WORKS!! It has completely changed my mornings and I am honestly so grateful . I would pay 5 times the amount for this and still think it is a great deal!!

I just moved to the next to top floor of an apartment building and the water pressure in the shower stinks. Showers are very important to me, and standing under a strong water stream is one of the best places for me to think. So I needed a new shower head immediately.

I replaced the pre-installed shower head with the Fire Hydrant Spa Plaza Massager. The box was tiny, it came with no instructions (I still don't know what the string is for...), and it weight nothing. So I doubted. Can any product really ONLY have 4 and 5 star reviews? Even the fancy pants low flow shower heads had bad reviews, but not Fire Hydrant Spa. Wassap with that?

Well what is up is that it works like a friggin charm! It's like magic. This tiny, weightless thing increased the shower flow to a level that is more than satisfactory for my needs. It's not like silkwood shower strength, but it certainly gets me clean and is strong enough for me to enter my pseudo-meditative state. Thank you, Fire Hydrant Spa, for the first good shower I had in this new apartment!

Why did I think I needed installation instructions? Unscrew the old shower head. Screw on the new one. Voila. But what is the spool of string for? I feel like Stallone trying to figure out the 3 seashells...

One issue that does not bug me at all is that, once you turn the water off, it makes this light, high-pitched moaning noise, which I assume is the wheezing of the wizard mouse in there that frantically casts the water pressure spells. Or it's the shower heads relieving the pressure it built up to drive the water. Either way, it does that for a few seconds.

I will be certainly be recommending this product to others. I haven't tried any other low flow shower heads but, at this point, I feel no need to.

Fire Hydrant Spa Massager showerhead in a Chrome finish

I needed a replacement showerhead. I did a search for special low water pressure showerheads as the water pressure coming into my home is not that good.

I found on www.amazon.com a new series of especially designed showerheads called “the Fire Hydrant series”’ There are many different styles and finishes. I choose the massager in a Nickel finish.

I received my new showerhead quite quickly, installed it easily and took my first shower with it. I noticed immediately the new found water pressure. There really was something wrong with my old showerhead. This new shower is great! The pulsating flow of hot water was exactly what I was looking for.
