Shower Plumbing help please?

No need to take most fixtures apart. All that I have seen have a screw in "aerator" at the output end. That will probably have the little plastic restrictor disc.

They have gone from reasonable flow rate to 'unuseable flow rate'. Takeing out that restrictor results in "high flow".

"Upscale" showers have 3 to 5 or more shower heads that way they can comply with the flow rate per shower head but still get a good shower.

So right..Ya'll are. I took the new shower head off and it had this blue disc in the back end. I screwed a screw into it and yanked it out and now it will knock her down. Maybe she will get off my arse now....well, maybe not...lol :confused2:

Thanks to everyone!

I'd be careful about what and where I said some things - you never know who is looking - Fed. regs. prohibit.

There were a couple of black helicopters circling around here, a few days ago.

Did you get your mattress tags sewn back on in time?

The new Jacuzzi valve I just put in our shower had flow rate adjusters on the hot and cold side. The one I just installed upstairs, a Home Depot Brand did not have adjusters. But sounds like you found your issue with the shower head.

He'll be alright as long as he wears the tinfoil cap.

You know that she'll find something else to replace the water flow now that's fixed! Btw, somewhat related, apparently Canada (as goofy as they seem to have become lately) still sells proper flushing toilets and the theft rate on old American toilets is high.
