The Benefits of A High Pressure Shower Head

Updated: Oct 11, 2022

Is there anyone who likes a low pressure shower head that slowly drips water and forces you to turn at awkward angles to get clean? We don't think so!


For a relaxing and convenient showering experience, it's important to have a shower that actually has good water pressure. Thus, a high pressure shower head is a great addition to any bathroom.

A high pressure shower head can provide a more intense (but still gentle!) shower spray than a standard shower head. There are many benefits to using a high pressure shower head — from the fact that it simply feels better to how much more effective it is than a regular shower head.


However, if you're still curious about why it's absolutely essential to have a high pressure shower head, we've got answers for you! In this article, we explore some of the best reasons to use a high pressure shower head in your home.


Are High Pressure Shower Heads Good?


Yes, high pressure shower heads are definitely good! For many, showering is one of the most important activities of the day. It helps us get ready in the morning and also wind down at night. Showering is a soothing and calming activity for a lot of people, so it makes sense to want good shower fixtures that deliver.


But what does a high pressure shower head do? Do high pressure shower heads actually work? Let's dive right in and find out more about high pressure shower heads.


High Pressure Shower Heads Feel Better on the Skin


High pressure shower heads definitely feel much better on the skin than low pressure shower heads. You get a more invigorating and satisfying shower experience with the former, as the water comes at you in an even flow instead of trickling out slowly.


Additionally, a high pressure shower ensures that the water feels gentle on your skin whilst also giving a relaxing, therapeutic, and massage-like experience. This is particularly beneficial for those looking to soothe their sore muscles or tired joints in the shower.


Plus, the right amount of water pressure can feel heavenly on the skin and do wonders for driving down stress and anxiety. In fact, showering is a grounding exercise for many, and a high pressure shower head can ensure that one gets to focus on the smooth, uninterrupted, and invigorating flow of water.


High Pressure Shower Heads Work More Effectively


High pressure shower heads work much better than low pressure shower heads. This is because water that is sprayed at high pressure can reach all areas of the body and cleanse them more thoroughly than low pressure water. You won't have to wait and turn around awkwardly to make sure the water touches all parts of your body.


Additionally, high pressure shower heads make sure that you don't have to spend an unnecessarily long amount of time trying to get clean. You won't have to scrub as hard to get rid of the soap, because the water will do it for you. In a nutshell, a high pressure shower head is efficient, time-saving, and convenient

High Pressure Shower Heads Can Save Water


When it comes to a low pressure shower head, you end up spending a lot of time in the bathroom because water trickles out slowly. People often don't realise how much water is going down the drain simply because it seems as though water is barely coming out of the shower head. If you generally get low pressure water at home, you'll probably notice that your water bill is on the higher end.


However, eco-friendly shower heads that also have high water pressure ensure that you save water even as you enjoy your spa-like shower. Because water is sprayed efficiently and with greater force, you manage to get clean quicker and use less water overall by not spending too much time in the shower. If you have low water pressure in your home, a high pressure shower head can help increase the flow of water for a more powerful shower whilst also reducing your water bill.


So, if you're looking for an eco-friendly option that doesn't skimp on the showering experience, a high pressure water saving shower head is ideal. Your wallet will certainly thank you for it!


Of course, keep in mind that you still have to take shorter showers (ideally in under 5 minutes) and not keep the shower running unnecessarily. Check out this article on how you can save water in the shower. You can even try navy showers!


High Pressure Shower Heads Often Offer Various Spray Settings


Nowadays, high pressure shower heads come with different settings that let you customize your showering experience.


For instance, you can choose a setting that offers a massage, which can help with sore muscles and joints. Or, you can go for a rainfall setting that gives you a more evenly distributed and gentle flow of water, mimicking the feel of softly falling rain. Based on your requirement and mood, you can choose the setting on your high pressure shower head and truly enjoy every second of the shower.


Overall, whether you're looking for an invigorating way to start your day or a relaxing way to end it, high pressure shower heads are definitely worth investing in.


Whether you are looking for an affordable way to improve your shower experience or simply want a more effective way to wash off after a workout, a high pressure shower head can be a great choice. So why not give it a try and see the benefits for yourself?


The Pleasure of a High Pressure Shower with StoneStream


There are innumerable brands out there that offer high pressure shower heads. However, not all of them are reliable. Dupes and subpar shower products are rampant in the market, so it's important to choose a brand known for its high quality, affordability, and innovation.


This is where StoneStream comes in.

StoneStream manufactures top-quality shower heads that provide up to a 200% increase in water flow velocity when compared to regular shower heads.


Now, what is water flow velocity? Why aren't we using the term 'water pressure'? We'll explain.


Although the term 'water pressure' is usually used when talking about shower heads, the actual phenomenon — of the speed of water coming out of the shower — is called water flow velocity. The water pressure stays the same within the pipes, but the force of water that comes out specifically from your shower is increased by a 'high pressure' shower head that has an apparatus to do so.


Now, if you're still wondering "Does a shower head really make a difference in water pressure?", we've got some answers for you.


StoneStream shower heads have been carefully designed after intense research and development. Our anodized shower plate with 250 laser-cut spray holes ensures that there's a 2x increase in water flow velocity.


But that's not all!
