Which Shower Head For Low Water Pressure

Hi does anyone have an idea of which shower head would improve a low gravity system?

Is it the smaller holed ones that help?

I have heard Mira Response and Triton ones may help.

If any one has any advice/recommendations I would greatly appreciate.

thanks in advance

    No because the truth is they will only make a miniscule and probably unnoticeable difference to the flow rate - the pressure will remain exactly the same. Thats why I said pump it if you want to change the pressure.

    I also tried the Mira Response, but the Grohe Eurphoria was better.

    Ok i may try the grohe one, only think it hasnt got 3/5 modes so cant get the force to be in the middle. Did this matter?

    Thanks for your help

    I tried this one:

    Mira Response RF1 Single Spray Shower Handset

    The showerhead we had originally did have couple of modes but I don't know if it was designed for low pressure sytstems as my bathroom fitter supplied it, so I am not sure if having different modes reduces the pressure.

    Anyway, both the Mira RF1 and the Grohe Euphoria made a big difference (even though the plumber said it wouldn't).

    thanks, i might just try it! :) sounds like you had exactly the same problem!

    thing is there was a showerhead already there, which had different modes, and wasnt great as it kept getting stuck - but i managed to put it on a particular setting which only sprayed through the middle - which gave more force through small holes. However tried perfecting it and lost the setting - now the head is completely broken!

    Thats why i thought the 3/5 mode head with small holes would be the solution. I was under the impression the single mode head would be rain like and wouldnt give much force out.

    Yes, I know what you're saying and I'm not sure why the Grohe and Mira are so much better than the one with different modes, but they are. When I used the orignal one with the water through the middle it was feeble.
