Which controls flow? the white mesh plastic piece or the red plastic piece? Remove one or both for increased flow?

Hi, It is just a small button behind the water head. You just push it to one side or the other to control the amount of water. I really like this water head. It is easy to install also.

Mine does not have white mesh plastic or red plastic, just the base unit attached to the pipe. I love the water pressure.

Mine does not have white mesh plastic or red plastic. There is a grey button on the base of unit near where it attaches to the pipe and you push it in.

The red rubber piece can be easily replaced. The white plastic piece would take more work; you would have to bend the metal wire pieces and you may not be able to get them back exactly the way they were. But, it could be done.

I'm sorry but I'm renovating and haven't installed it yet but I think I can answer your question. The round plate between the shower head and the tub spout controls the water flow and the temperature from either the shower head or the tub spout. The other wall control is the diverter as this is a two function system. This allows you to divert the water from the shower head to the tub spout. Hope that helps.

We purchased one a while ago because my wife wanted to be able to control the volume of the flow without affecting the water temperature. It works great for that. In the fully open position it doesn't seem to restrict the flow.Hope this helps. Good quality valve.

I just installed this head. I have decided that I want to remove the restrictor to get more water flow. How do you remove it?

It's a personal preference to remove or not remove the insert for copper. I think that insert will restrict the flow but since this is to a toilet, that would not matter. If I was using a fitting on a 3/4 inch copper line, I would remove it so to not restrict the flow.

That is the piece that goes on the end where the air comes out and it controls how much air comes out.

The red sink part can be taken off, but the beige main unit is one solid piece of plastic, so not really

I would like to know the same thing. I checked really close to see if it is one of those quick release switches, and it does not appear to be for that as it is all one piece of molded plastic. I thought maybe it somehow controlled the flow but when I used it, I would engage the button while drinking and I did not notice any difference in the flow. I would like to get an answer from Condor on what this is for.

Hello Matt,(1) if you have good water pressure in your existing shower head you will be a happy camper (2) There is a plastic flow control in the part that connects to the existing water nozzle that you may want to remove (I did because I prefer a heavier flow). Try it both ways and see which one you like better.

I use a plastic adapter where I can control the water flow and use for our baskets. You can find them at any hardware or big box store.

Thanks for your reply. My main concern was restriction to water flow due to the valve mechanism. Another reply specified that the restriction at the valve was about 5/8 inch which is larger than the one I viewed at Menard's.

You should need nothing else. If for some reason you wish to control the flow you may want a inline valve. I didn't use one and every thing is fine.

Yes, you can remove the little green plastic thing. I did so easily with a pair of needle nose pliers. Now, I can use just a small stream of water for greatly improved pressure.

Removing the flow restrictor is absolutely necessary for good pressure. Directions are included and it's very easy. I am very happy with this combo.

Instructions on how to remove the water flow limiters from both heads are included in the packaging. They both come with limiters installed, and they can both be removed.

While there are no speed settings, you can put a ball valve on the output. Doing this will give you flow control. Never restrict the input.
