A lot of them have a removable plastic restrictor to convert a trickle shower head to Niagra Falls
Can someone please tell me what the maximum flow rate is for shower heads?
I want to buy a new shower head but want something with a bit of pressure behind it, I hate those water saving heads and would prefer something that lets out more than a trickle.

Thank's mate, I've already done that but didn't want to butcher up the new one.
Just wanted to know the max flow rate and if that's not good enough I'll remove the restrictor.
Should be on the packaging somewhere. Each one would most likely be around 9l/m. might help you.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

Thanks - looks like I'll be removing the restrictor.
Just remember that will also increase the water flow which will increase your water bill.
Years ago we had a chart showing how much water was used depending on the size of a hole in a pipe going from a pin hole up and the volume was surprising and with most places charging for water usage, it could turn out to be expensive.
Also the greater flow may also affect the power bill because it needs to work harder to heat the larger volume of water passing through.
You cant bleedin' win, can you?
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
I had a customer not long ago,no hot water in the shower.The Plumber installed a "water saving shower head" and the pressure was to low to switch on the electric Inst.HWS.Had to remove the restrictor,all fine now.After all,it's up to us how much water we use.I'm not allowed to remove the restrictor in the kitchen sink.I'm sick of waiting to fill my kettle in the morning.I want 1.8 ltr of water now,not takeing almost 1 minute,lol

I'm all for saving energy, water etc but there's no way SWMBO would allow such a device in our bathroom lest it take her a day to wash her hair. Suits me. Deluge shower = in and out. Turn it down to save water.

Late reply but i have one of . even though it is 9lt/m the spray design makes it feel like it is much more.. I have tried many others with my partner working for reece and that one is the absolute best... you will not regret the purchase.

Bloody Hell! You could "waste" a lot of water to pay for one of those!!!!!

My current shower head is a Hand Held one that cost around $50 from Bunnings a couple of years ago.
