Tools and Hardware Reviews of Waterpik TRS-559 Elements 5-Mode Handheld Shower, Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: Just what I needed, but never knew before - Fat people rejoice! (=
Summary: 5 Stars
We just moved into a new home with water-saving showerheads that made showering feel like an assault with needles, so we were very excited to try something different. I selected this model after seeing that the flow regulator was easy to remove since the water pressure where we live isn't optimal.
In terms of water flow, we went from famine to feast. The water comes out so much better with this showerhead and without the flow regulator in place that I may actually try replacing it for a while. The multiple settings are nice, but as others have said, the massage is weak at best. I don't have any problems with the misting setting, however, and will probably use just one setting most of the time anyway.
I wish I would have purchased one of these years ago, as the handheld feature is just what I've always needed but never knew it. For an overweight person, like me, normal showers don't always get the job done when your stomach acts like an umbrella -- with this I can rinse my legs (and more!) again with confidence!
The showerhead is plastic, though the brushed nickel looks nice and it doesn't feel as cheap as I expected. A pair of needlenose pliers made quick work of removing the flow regulator, and installation was a snap once we wrestled the old showerhead off.
Less than 12 hours after receiving this I'm ordering another one for our daughter's bathroom! This was the best shower I've had in over a year, and that includes Caesar's Palace :) I doubt I will, but even if I needed to replace this 2 or 3 times a year, it would still be well worth the cost!
Customer Review: Need to remove both regulator and the debris filter to get full blast of shower
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 2 of this showerhead based on average review of 4 stars.
When they arrived, they looked very nice and the showerhead itself looks to be very expensive metal, but the cord felt cheap (rubber). After I installed them, I got less water volume than water comes out of my lavatory faucet. I read many other's review by removing the regulator to increase water volume.
I unscrewed it, found the regulator, and removed it. (I thought it was the regulator, but actually I've removed the debris filter first) The water increased but not to my like. So I went back to the unit where I removed the filter and found the actual regulator and removed it as well. Bingo, the water volume is just right at the level I felt like taking the shower.
Risk for removing the filter: the debris from your water line will not filter and might end up on your showerhead openings which eventually will clog the openings and reduce the water volume in the long run. You have to either clean the openings or buy another one.
Overall this unit worth every penny spent: the quality, the style, the look, and easy to install, and of course the PRICE is right.
Customer Review: Great showerhead; easy install
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love this shower head. It was very easy to install using just pliers to tighten it up and does not leak. I did remove the water saver washer thingey so as to have better water pressure, however, as I really like a lot of spray and some power behind it. This has several good settings, but mostly I use the middle range wide spray which is strong enough and full enough to get you rinsed well, but not hard enough to damage delicate skin. The more powerful setting ( which could just about put out an eye! ) I use only on my back if it's sore or painful, and I also use this stronger one to rinse soap film off the shower walls after I finish my shower, which saves on scrubbing the tub and shower walls as often. So far I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice removeable handheld or fixed shower head with only a few bells and whistles, one that works very well, has several different settings to meet average needs of most people, is reasonably priced, and seems of good quality material.Customer Review: la-la-la-love!

we've needed a detachable shower head for years now, mostly to make bathing our 4 year old daughter(looong CURLY hair) & 5 year old son easier. & this one does it's job plus more! the style & coloring is nice, not cheap looking in the least, so far it's seemed heavy duty & held up to a family of four who bathe & shower usually more than 4 times a day total, & it's definitely helped in cutting the time spent cleaning the shower/garden tub, as well as washing our daughter's long & usually impossible hair! i would definitely recommend this product to just about anyone! & did i mention how great the price was for such an awesome product? the free shipping didn't hurt either!!Customer Review: Great showerhead
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received my showerhead and I was impressed how easy it was to install! It took me around 3 minutes and didn't have to use any tools. the only tool I used was to remove the old one.
Now, when I took a shower this thing let me impressed again. In my house the water pipes have a lot of pressure and somehow this showerhead controls the pressure to a comfortable one that won't hurt you but will make you feel very good while taking the shower.
I have only used the regular shower mode but that's enough for me. My wife has used the other modes and she likes them a lot.
For the price, this is a great buy!
