You can take any cheap shower head and drill out the water restricting plastic (usually) disk. You won't call it a shower head, you will call it a power head. Showers won't take as long as thus it might be a wash (no pun intended) as far as usage is concerned. Most shower heads have “restrictors” to reduce water usage.

Not only is it a great hotel, but they have the BEST showers I've ever experienced. Picture those big disk showerheads with hundreds of nozzles (the ones you hate), except that instead of a little trickle, it's like standing under a waterfall! You actually have to hold onto the shower handles to keep from being knocked over. The best wake-me-up-in-the-morning shower I've ever had! Tim (and anyone else who travels),

Couldn't find it. Ended up at Lowe's. They had 3 of the version with the on/off button, and 1 with the wire lever for on/off and any position in-between. We decided to get them all, as we're planning to relocate halfway round the world and didn't know if we'd be able to find these there. :) Installed one of the on/off variants as soon as we got home. The blast seems softer and less direct when compared to the showerhead which was there before, but still quite comfy. While we don't seem to get dinged with any water bills here (we live in an apartment community), at least we're doing our 0.0001% bit to reduce water consumption. ;) So two days ago we went to Home Depot.

You also don't mention using any Teflon tape. So my question is, while travelling, did you also bring some Teflon tape with you, and did you bring any tools along to remove the existing showerhead (and to install the one you brought along)?

I swear the variation on Amazon with the on/off valve is one of two products I used to see heavily promoted at home shows in the Toronto area back in the 90's. Thing is, these folks also sold an even more expensive version (if memory serves, the on/off variant was quite a bit more than $5) which had this thick gauge wire thingy attached to a shaft which you would use to adjust the stream from anywhere from a trickle to full blast. Also as memory serves, I was becoming disenchanted with the one we'd bought, so at a subsequent home show, I asked them about it. They explained that minerals can accumulate and clog the jets, that it just needed a soak in vinegar or a demineralization product. Took that advice to heart, and it was as good as new! In retrospect, the on/off model would have been more than sufficient (I think we thought we'd be able to save even more money if we just left the lever at some modest point less than "full blast"), so I'll be swinging by our local Home Depot this week to see what I can get (otherwise will be ordering from Amazon).

Anyone that was in the Navy can tell you why. I had many over the years and it's all I will buy. You can also find these little things under the name or sales slogan of a Navy shower head.
