      I bought one showerhead to be tested by a tenant. I didn't tell her it was a water saver. She loved it! Since then I've converted 6 units to the same and no complaints!

      Slow drip that I could not get rid of, even with plumber's tape and by adjusting tightness. Would be nice if there was option for spray setting to not go back to default automatically when water is turned off. No owner's manual.

          I was so impressed with this sowerhead that I purchased one for each of my sons.I called it my "green" gift. The water presure in my neighbor hood is sufficent, but not very strong. This AS showerhead makes it seem that I live under the water tower.We have not had the showerhead long enough to see any effect on our water bill, but the great showers are worth the cost.The only complaint we have heard is my son , who is 6'4" said he was hitting his head on the bigger sized head. I am sure he has adapted. We love our AS showerhead and think it was a great buy.

            • Q:

              We bought this shower head through Amazon. My husband says the threads are backwards as he cannot screw it on. Is this possible? I guess I should exchange it right? Unless our shower pipe is backwards, but we've had no problem with other shower heads before this one.

                A:

                This shower head has normal threads and should screw on exactly like your old one. I would suggest either a return or to call American Standard directly and we can send you a replacement.

            • Q:

              Is there anyway to set this shower head to the third setting permanently? I'm a little shorter than five foot and, needless to say, changing the setting is a little difficult for me.

                Unfortunately no. When you turn the water off it will always go back to the standard setting.

                You can remove the showerhead and let it soak in white vinegar. This will remove the debris that has collected.

              What's the optimum range of water pressure for all three setting to work? I see quite a bit of complaints about setting 2 and 3 won't work due to low water pressure.
              My water pressure is 45 psi.

              I am looking for a showerhead in which I can control the flow. Its become obvious that in my 'current' apartment(for now) the water heater simply cannot keep up with a large flow. I prefer, if possible, to stay away from light-spray models. Any recommendations?

                A:

                We highly recommend any of our FloWise single or 3 function showerheads. These showerheads are designed to save you up to 40% in water usage while still providing great performance in the shower. If you are looking to maximize your water savings as well as lengthen your hot water usage time, any of these options will work.

            • Q:

              I bought the 3 Function showerhead and ended up returning the first one because it would start off great, but as I would continue to shower, more and more water would pore out the bottom. Then within 10 minutes or so of showering, the pressure would start to decrease in the water enough so that slowly less and less water would come out until finally it would barely even spray and was mostly a drizzle from the showerhead. At this point, none of the other flow options even work and I’m left standing in the shower with shampoo that I can’t get out. I ended up returning this first one thinking that it was broken and get a new one and it does the same thing! I want to know why this is happening because I’ve had a regular showerhead and then another brands’ low flow and I never had the problem that my water would eventually turn to a drizzle and I couldn’t even finish my shower. Can you tell me more about this?

            • Q:

              I've had low-flow shower heads where the spray comes out in an outer ring, with no water coming from the center of the shower head. Is the turbine setting a full spray?

              • A:

                This shower head has three settings as listed below:

                1. The first setting is the center spray is 1.5 GPM and does spray nicely.
                2. The second setting is 2.0 GPM which has the center spray and the outer spray.
                3. The third settings is 2.0 GPM and sprays the outer ring only. This setting really penetrates the scalp.

                Additionally, unlike other low-flow shower heads I have used this product is silent.

              Hi - My new showerhead does not work correctly since it will not remain in the third setting. The first two work fine, but it will never function in the third position. It seems defective. Thoughts?
