How much does water pressure affect the Glokore Filtered Showerhead?

I would go ahead and install it. We have decent but not great pressure in our apartment, and the Glokore has been fine for the last few months. It is not like the filter needs a minimum pressure to activate or anything. It is just a passive thing the water runs through, so as long as water is coming out, it is getting filtered.

The only thing I noticed is that when pressure drops, the whole shower feels weaker, but that is true with any showerhead. It is not the filter suddenly giving up. I have taken showers at like 6am and then again around 8pm when everyone in the building seems to be using water, and honestly the difference is just how strong the spray feels. The water still smells less like chlorine either way, so I figure the filtration is still doing something.

If your pressure is truly bad, like barely a trickle, then sure, you might not love any showerhead. But if it is just “fine but not amazing,” I would not expect the Glokore to make it worse. It is not one of those filters that chokes the flow down to nothing. I have had zero issues with it feeling like a normal shower, and I am not someone who wants to stand under a sad little drizzle every morning. So yeah, I would just try it and see how it goes.

I actually think pressure matters more than people here are saying. Mine filters noticeably worse when the building pressure dips, and you can feel it in the flow right away. It doesn’t turn into a plain showerhead exactly, but it’s not filtering the same either. If your pressure is only okay, I’d look at that before buying.

I’ve had mine on for about four months in an older building and it still filters when the pressure dips. The flow gets softer, sure, but it never turned into just a plain showerhead. If your building pressure is just okay, I think it’d still be worth trying.
