When I was living in New York City (thirty years ago) I had a shower that was GREAT. The water tank for the apartment complex was on the twelfth floor and I lived on the second floor. I think the water pressure in my apartment was 120 psi.
Since then I have lived in a variety of places with showers that varied from awful to almost great. I want great.
In my current house I think the water pressure is around 60 psi. It's OK and the shower is just on this side of great. I brought 3/4-inch pipe to the Hans Grohe thermostatic control valve (I love those things) and then half inch from the diverter to the shower head (which was my only option, sigh).
Price was no object for me. Nonetheless, the best shower head I found was one from ACE Hardware for about $35 flow restrictor removed.
Recently I was watching HGTV and they briefly mentioned someone manufacturing a water pressure booster for a shower. I've been looking for one for years but the mention flew by so fast that I couldn't catch if I had heard correctly or who the manufacturer might be.
Anyone know?
