Something every Porsche owner must have for the bathroom....
Hey - it has "16 intake ports" and is both water AND air cooled!!! Make sure you scroll down a wee bit to see the picture of it "in action".

I don't know - I'm a big "high pressure" guy. Whenever I get a new showerhead, I pull the rubber gasket out and remove the lil' screen inside to boost it's pressure.
The two words that scare me the most are "water saver"!!!
Unless it's just below the "pain" level, it's not good enough for me.

I had one of those massaging shower heads in my previous appartment where I lived while I was having fun with a girl named Linda... Blond with blue eyes and just perfect in every way...
Anyhow, a week after we meet she bought herself a showerhead just like the one I had and showed me how good it was for female usage... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
I guess I'm going to have to give her a call and see if she'll dump the showerhead... Already did the opposite thing, sort of..
I guess that the pic says it all "satisfying and stimulating"

Be thankful you live in Canada. Down here we have an even more frightening term. Low flow toilets. In fact many Americans go to canada and smuggle toilets home.

The stupid part is it doesn't really help water quality. Just the numbers that get reported to the EPA. What the EPA is concerned with is how much wast you pull out of so many million gallons of water. So if you use less water, they can pull out a higher percentage of waste and say "Look how clean our water is" even though it may have more waste leftover.
The most powerful showers I ever experienced were in Montreal. Almost too much, the handholds in the shower were a neccesity even for able people. It was wonderful, never been cleaner.

"Low flow toilets"
I laughed SO hard when I read that. That's funny as f**k. I actually said "low flow toilets???" out loud here at work when I read that. Everyone looked at me.
I look at it this way.....would you wash your Porsche with a low pressure washer? Nope! Same goes for my shower head.
There is nothing worse to me than having water "mist" on me. I've been in Hotels and started taking a shower, only to find out that the only thing it was doing was making the hairs on my arms "damp". It would have taken like an hour to get fully washed. Needless to say, I pulled the head, yanked out the gasket and screen and went from there. If anyone is ever in a Hotel and notice the shower pressure is quite high, that's means I've been there!!!
I can see it now......
(people booking rooms at the Hilton)...."Ahhhh, ya, I want room 202"........
(desk clerk) "What's wrong with 201???"
(person) "Low pressure shower"
(clerk) "All of our rooms have water-saver shower heads"
(person) "No they don't!"
(clerk) "That's weird???"
So, what is the deal with the low-flow toilets? Do they flush slower or does it take more flushes to get it all down or something? Cause if you have to flush twice, doesn't that defeat the purpose?
I knew I lived in Canada for a reason!!
sweander.....I didn't notice that quote at the end. I like the way they made the "and" in italics.
But, wouldn't more oxygen in the water be a better thing???

Flushing twice, "for serious work" is only if your lucky. Sometimes 3 or 4.
And yes it does defeat the purpose. Dual toilets are popular in Australia and parts of Asia (When they have western toilets) Flush #1 for #1 and flush #2 for #2.
Question. Why would more oxygen in the water be better?

I dunno??? More oxygen just always seems to be a better thing. Cars work better with more oxygen in the combustion chamber. Plants grow better with more oxygen, etc, etc.
I was in the hospital last year after an bad asthma attack. I was on steriods and the regular asthma meds to clear out my lungs. It took 12 hours to get my breathing back to where I could breath on my own. I was put in a bed and had to have a mask of meds every hour. Needless to say, I didn't sleep for the whole 3 days I was in there. While not taking meds, I had those lil' oxygen tubes in my nose the whole time. I have never felt so alive. Even after 3 day of no sleep, I felt like a million bucks. My skin wasn't oily, like it gets with no sleep. My joints didn't ache, like when I get no sleep. I had an overabudance of energy. I base all that on the pure oxygen I was getting. I actually jogged home from the hospital and 944S Boyeee don't jog!
I went as far as to look into buying some tanks to "just have around the house". Doesn't work that way apparently. You just can't run out and buy pure oxygen (at least not around where I live).
I guess the added oxygen in the water could be beneficial.....I'm getting the shower head cause it looks cool and does stuff other's don't.
The shower head I have in my house now cost me $79.99 and I still had to modify it.
I'm a freak, I know.

Oxygen is good for somethings. In conjunction with water it makes metl rust.
I just don't think airated water (which is what this is it's not scavenging oxygen out of the air) is beneficial to cleaning your skin.
But if you want it go for it.

funny guys... yup we're having water issues here in Calif. Seems we take more than what we are alloted.
In speaking about the water supply for San Francisco bay area (popultion 2.6 million people), we use 260 million gallons of waterper day. California total population is 32 million (in 1995). Problem is that we have a limited water supply. We get our water from two sources and one of which is the Colorado River. Quote: "...The massive Colorado River winds its way through the southwestern United States before terminating in the Gulf of California in Mexico. Along the way, the river provides water to seven states including California, with each state's water use determined by the Colorado River Compact of 1922. According to the compact, California is permitted to use 4.4 million acre-feet of the Colorado annually. But, for over a decade, California has been using well beyond that.... California's capricious climate fluctuates between flood and drought, which significantly impacts supplies... " <a href="http://www.water-ed.org/cabriefing.asp" target="_blank">link</a>
Hence the need for low-flush toilets and low-flow shower heads. Hell, at least we can go to the beach and hang out (but we still have to watch for hazardous waste, polluted ocean water (santa monica & san francisco) and tar/oil in the sand from off-shore slicks. Viva California.)

944s Boyeee I don't think you will have a problem with the pressure of this shower head. In the at it said it was adjustable from 20 to 120 psi!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> 120 psi that could break skin!! or is that how much the supras run just before they blow on the dyno?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
