I have purchased so many shower heads over the years, trying to find one with good pressure, despite my 3" well and old farm house water lines. I read the reviews on this model (2.5 gpm), and decided it must be good. While nobody else mentioned they had used one in an old farm house, I decided to give it a try. I installed it the same day it arrived (ordered online). My shower the next morning was the best shower I've had (at home) in several years. Both the fixed head, and the wand have really great pressure, no matter what setting the head is on. The only area that it lack pressure in, is if I have both heads on at the same time. But I never use that anyway. So, I am completely thrilled to have finally found a shower head that really does have terrific pressure. I'm not thrilled about the plastic construction, but the performance makes up for that.
