  Showerhead recommendations

  you’re not wrong about the restrictors, most newer heads choke the flow down and then try to fake pressure with weird spray patterns, which just ends up noisy and unsatisfying. there’s a good breakdown someone did comparing the hammerhead all-metal handheld vs a delta in2ition combo that actually answered a lot of what you’re asking. linking to their post here

  shower head recommendations?

  Hammerhead. Never even really noticed showerheads before I got an Hammerhead. It's amazing. Everytime we have guests over the compliment the showerhead.

  BIFL recommendation for shower heads?

  That's a great question, and one I've discussed more than once in meetings. Maybe this will eventually get traction and that warranty will, in fact, be made longer. There are several shower head makers (including Hammerhead and Delta Faucet, but not just limited to those) who follow this pattern: limited lifetime warranty for retail customers and 5 years limited warranty for industrial/commercial uses. (Delta offers 10 years for multifamily residential.) In practice, as contrasted with their warranty coverage, High Sierra's products often last a \*long\* time. We keep hearing from people who've had their original shower heads from the 2010-2012 era, still going strong. (The two at our home - one Classic, one Handheld, were installed in January and August 2014, respectively, and we haven't had any issues with spray or finish/plating to this date.) "For nearly the same price as the 4-way combo kit I can get the hammerhead three spray dual showerhead plus a filter but the hammerhead stuff comes with a lifetime warranty." True, and a good point. One major difference to consider: the Hammerheld makes its spray in a conventional way, by dropping water through small holes. The High Sierra internally collides water, making a spray of large, heavy droplets that comes out a single large opening. That means that with the High Sierra, you can often use a lower flow rate (like 1.5 gpm) than equivalent conventional models. And that can save literally hundreds of dollars over a 5-year period, compared with, say, a 2.0 gpm model. Also, their spray feels amazing. It's hard to describe, but you can readily see the differences in side-by-side videos, for example. If you prefer the multiple spray patterns of the Hammerhead, obviously that's a reason to go with theirs. (High Sierra's has a single spray pattern, although it's modestly adjustable with the trickle valves of the 4-way combo kit.)

  Looking for a great handheld showerhead

  I didn’t want to spend crazy money either, so I got a solid metal HammerHead handheld at 2.5 gpm and it’s been perfect.
