Can I adjust my Showerhead's water pressure?Updated a month ago

Canopy Filtered Showerheads sold through the Canopy website* are available in two flow rate options: High Flow, which releases 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM), and Low Flow, which is set to 1.8 GPM. The model you receive will depend on local regulations based on your shipping address. All Handheld Filtered Showerheads, are set to 1.8 GPM, regardless of location.

If you purchase a Canopy Filtered Showerhead through one of our retail partners, you will receive the Low Flow model.

How to adjust your water pressure:

While it's not possible to adjust the water pressure of the Handheld Showerhead you will be able to adjust the flow rate of the fixed Filtered Showerhead by swapping between our two available flow restrictors. This may be necessary for residents in some states where water conservation is paramount and regulations mandate the installation of a 1.8 or 2.0 GPM restrictor on all Showerheads and faucets (full details here). If you reside in these areas and would like to use our standard Filtered Showerhead, we've got you covered.

Each Showerhead will come with a flow restrictor already installed, and an alternative option packaged in the accessory kit in your box. To distinguish between the two restrictors, keep in mind that the Low Flow (1.8 GPM) option is black, while the High Flow (2.5GPM) variant is grey/white.

Remove the face from the shell of the Showerhead, the same way you would when changing the filter:

Take a skinny tool, like a chopstick or pencil, and poke through the Showerhead to pop out the flow restrictor. (Be mindful of your hands, and don't use anything sharp for this task!) 

Insert the 1.8 GPM flow restrictor, found in your Showerhead packaging. Reinsert the mesh rubber washer back in place and you're ready to go!

*Please note that as of February 2025, we introduced Low Flow models to our website based on regional requirements. Before this date, all Canopy Filtered Showerheads sold through our website were High Flow units.
