Hibbent All Metal Shower Head Combo

I installed this Hibbent all metal 10 inches shower head in 2 different bathroom in our house. One with 25-30 psi at the shower head and the other has 55 psi at the shower head. I expected this shower head to be marginally functional in the 25-30 psi bathroom but I was shocked to find out that water pressure for the hand held shower head is problematic in the 55 psi bathroom. I tried with or without the 2.5 gpm flow restrictor at the base of the hand held shower head. The pressure improve only marginally without the flow restrictor at the shower head . This hand held shower head has too many nozzles active at any given time to generate any respectable pressure in my bath room. I would imagine if my bathroom has higher pressure ‘(e.g 75 PSI), the hand held would work much better. Rain shower head has only a sand ore-filter. It is more like rain dribbling rather that a rain shower. The hand held unit is really not functional in taking a shower at the water coming out is very weak, I would like to love this 10 inches rain shower / hand held shower head combo. The material of the main unit is great. It looks great and I love the curve extension rod design. the hand held shower head unit is the weak link and it is disappointing. The exterior is chrome look alike and the interior of the handheld unit is plastic. water pressure coming out of the unit left a lot to be desired in most modes. I am returning this unit and try Waterpik and G-promise shower head next. PS: the Waterpik pulsating wand turns out to be a great showerhead in both the 25-30PSI bathroom and 55PSI bathroom. It was able to generate a very respectable shower experience with very low incoming water pressure (25-30 psi) . The WaterPik unit looks and feel like a quality product even though it use a mixture of plastic and metal as well. And it shine when I installed it in a bathroom with 55 or so PSI. I will keep the Waterpik pulsating wand in my MSR and I ordered a G-Promise all metal square shower head for my other bathroom. Will see if it work as promise. PPS: turn out the G-Promise is a dude. It has only a single shower pattern for both the rain shower unit and the hand held unit, so I gave up on the G-Promise idea. I ordered a Hibbent 8 inches again as I really like the curvy extension rod design. The 8 inches rain shower has a lot better pressure compare to the 10 inches unit. The smaller area that 8 inches cover help a great deal. The handheld shower head is still terrible. I replace the handheld with a Waterpik pulsating wand and a Waterpik 6 functions handheld shower head that my other showers used. Both handheld shower head generated significantly better water pressure than the unit that come with this Hibbent 8 inch shower unit (the pulsating wand is a beast). I like the rain shower head enough that I am going to replace the hand held unit with either a Waterpik , a Hopopro, or a real metal hand held shower head from Hammerhead Shower. Hibbent has a good design going but too bad that they don’t spent a little bit more effort to make the hand held better for owner with a lower pressure household. PPPS: the winner is Gcirik high pressure handheld that I got during thanksgiving sales for $26. I replaced the hand held shower of this Hibbent unit by the Gcirik and it works out great. Hibbent offers an after market flow restrictor set in Amazon and it include a flow restrictor for the rain shower head as well. And the interesting part is that the Hibbent rain shower / hand held combo I received does not include a flow restrictor for the rain shower head. I ordered the Hibbent 9 flow restrictors kits and uses the 2.0 GPM (15.4 mm) restrictor for the rain shower and the pressure is similar to the flow without any flow restrictor.
