My husband is extremely picky about his morning shower. I wanted to use less water so I purchased a High Sierra showerhead. He was dubious to say the least. I had to pretty much have the handyman install it under the radar. The verdict: he is happy!
Robert (verified owner) –
Feels like a massage for your full shower. I get a better rinse. Unexpected benefit is using the hand held wand with warmer water, I can get excess wax out of my ears safely. It’s louder than a conventional shower head, but that’s ok because it drowns out my singing. Love the solid construction.
Paul (verified owner) –
I’m very happy with my new shower head from High Sierra! It was super easy to install, functions as advertised, and I am glad that I also chose the Trickle Valve option, which is super handy! Great improvement over my previous shower head, and I hope that it provides many years of trouble free operation. Thanks High Sierra!

I was tired of my showerhead breaking.I researched name-brand only to find out in the reviews that they break, and our expensive. I saw High Sierra website and was impressed with what I read. I called the company to find out where I can purchase this. I spoke with David about the handheld showerhead. He was very kind and helpful as I am a single mom and not a handyman. The next thing I know I was ordering.
Delivery was prompt and installation was a breeze. They even sent me instructions again after I mentioned, our dog ate the original one. This showerhead is absolutely awesome.! Hard to believe it’s low flow. Quality – durability is outstanding. I don’t believe I will have to replace it once a year like all the other hand held showerheads ,that would explode in my hand. My special-needs daughter absolutely loves it. And can’t wait to try it out on my dog ! I’ve already recommended it to many family members. I like the fact that it’s made in the USA of solid metal and a water saver.and sustainability -all a Bonus ! If, and a big if, you don’t like it there is always their wonderful guarantee/warranty. Super happy I purchased this.
Chuck Mason –
Got the 1.5 gpm.
It’s steel. It’s plain. The pressure is fine. It’s not a plastic toy w/ numerous settings and options. It won’t fail in 9 months.
It easily turns off so I can save the precious water of Los Angeles while I lather. Then it’s back on to rinse and not repeat.
Bob –
Love this showerhead, I prefer the low flow over traditional higher flow now, really an enjoyable experience
George –
Order was shipped very quickly. After its arrival I installed it easily. I am very impressed with the water pressure coming out! The weight feels very good. Sturdy metal shower head-just like advertised! Thank you!

We now have two High Sierra shower heads, and have recommended them to several friends who now have them in their own homes. The all-metal construction, expert engineering, and careful attention to aesthetic detail make this an extraordinary showerhead (when the “competition” offers more plastic, less durability, and ultimately more waste for the landfills). On top of a great product, High Sierra offers amazing customer service and support.
Elliott (verified owner) –
I’ve purchased two of these and absolutely love them, will be buying a third once we’re done with our guest bath remodel!
Rob (verified owner) –
Awesome pressure. Second one I’ve bought. The best.
Rita Rukashaza (verified owner) –
This is the second one I have purchased. The hose on the old one finally died, after 8 years. Wanted a new shower head because I needed a better grip. This one is so much better than the old one because there is no plastic. Also, the hose is longer. I am pleased with the excellent pressure and water saving. I have recommended it to everyone who asks. I have even given them as gifts!
JD –
An amazing product. Easy to install, great looking and high pressure without using a lot of water. The quality is perfect and worth every cent. I have gone through many of the cheap, foreign made shower heads that you get at the big box store. All were cheaply made and didn’t last very long.
The High Sierra shower head was so great that I bought a second one to install into my guest bathroom. The grip makes it easy to hang on to and the added Standard Holder is perfect for adapting a lower shower pipe to raise the shower head up. First time in years that I don’t have to bend over to shower.
Keep up the great work High Sierra!!
charles (verified owner) –
you will not be disappointed with this showerhead – I purchased the 1.25 gpm showerhead and I am telling you the water pressure is great.
very easy to install – you will save on water – My 15 minute shower uses 18.75 gallon of water vs 37.5 gallons of water with my old showerhead – the quality of the high sierra showerhead is second to none…
Dave Ainaire (verified owner) –
This shower head installed easily for me and works exactly as advertised. I love it.
pamela mathews (verified owner) –
The 1.5 gpm model works so well I will likely try out the 1.25gpm when have to purchase another shower head. I love that overall I am not supporting the petroleum industry with plastic components. The only thing to improve this product would be plastic free packaging/wrapping. excellent product
Julie –
We bought the High Sierra handheld unit for our van shower and we are extremely happy with the quality! I was skeptical at first that a low-flow showerhead would feel good but it does just as they advertise. We had a plastic handheld previously that hurt when you used it. I am glad that thing is gone!
Anonymous (verified owner) –
This is the third one I’ve bought. When I move, one of the first things I do is to replace the showerhead with the High Sierra handheld. It proves you can have a low-flow showerhead that works.
Stephanie Clark (verified owner) –
This shower head is the absolute best. I had one installed 4 years ago, and now have installed one in my mother’s shower. The water pressure is excellent, and mine has not even begun to clog. I’m so glad I found this product.
Helen (verified owner) –
I’ve used your products for years. The products provide a shower that feels like a shower while saving water!
Danny (verified owner) –
This is my second high sierra showerhead. They are amazing.
They save on water, but somehow have fantastic water pressure.
I had a 1.5 gpm classic one and ended up getting a new 1.25 gpm one and I can barely tell the difference.
I love the little valve they have that allows you to turn it down to a trickle when you are soaping and not waste water.
I wish that the US government or something just send everyone one of these – would go along way to save our water problems without barely taking any hit on your shower experience.
Another positive is just how incredibly well constructed these are. Maybe it’s more expensive than the cheap one you get at home depot, but it’ll last you a lifetime.
Anyhow – really love these things and I tell everyone I know about them.
Christina (verified owner) –
This shower head is perfect for my small shower and uses less water than the previous one. I had a small mechanical problem with the one I ordered, which was addressed immediately by the company.
Michelle –
If you’re considering a High Sierra showerhead, you won’t be disappointed. I couldn’t be happier with the ease of installation, exceptional quality, high pressure, and classy design. I wish I purchased it years ago.
Carlos (verified owner) –
I am really enjoying the new shower head I got from High Sierra. Never have I owned one as well made as this one. And that includes Brinkman. Considering buying a different style for the other shower now. Great job to the manufacturer!
Paul (verified owner) –
I purchased the 1.25 GPM Water Sense Classic hand held shower head and it works just fine. The unit is being used in a motorhome so water usage needs to be as minimal as possible, the head has great coverage and it preforms as advertised.
Good Job High Sierra!

I purchased the 1.25 gpm model. It was simple to install and delivers as satisfying a shower as our old 2.5 gpm showerhead. I don’t think anyone would notice that it has a lower flow rate.
Danielle (verified owner) –
This shower head is of terrific quality. It’s expensive but the price is well worth the American craftsmanship. Its minimalist look is great as well, though a little industrial looking. The water pressure is fantastic for only being a 1.5 gpm. The only drawback is the overall height of the shower head ends up being lower than my previous shower heads. I wish there was a way to tilt the head up.
Amy Morgan –
Purchased the 1.5gpm handheld showerhead. Was easy to install. Delivers a great spray. I’m happy to conserve water.
Andy Mauthe (verified owner) –
I have the 1.8 GPM model at home and we both love it. We’re on city water at home so while we want to conserve water it’s not as urgent since we live near Lake Erie and have ample water at a great rate. But our rural cabin is on a well with a slow recovery rate. So I went with the 1.25 GPM model for our cabin hoping it would provide at least an adequate shower. And I’ll tell you it’s awesome and totally exceeded my expectations. So I’m saving water and still getting a great shower. Great job on the new 1.25 GPM model!

Low flow so I feel good about water usage but plenty of power for a great shower. Nice heavy duty manufacturing, durable feel.
Thomas –
I love this shower head. It’s low flow, but the stream feels bigger than it is. This is also well made. It’s nice to have an option to buy something like this from an American company, rather than buying from a Chinese company. You might pay a little more initially, but quality pays in the long run. I have lost track of all the items I bought from China (because I had not other option), that quickly broke. Thank you High Sierra for taking such pride in your work.
Mike –
My RV shower head that came with the RV (the cheap white plastic type) was so bad that I would waste almost all the hot water trying to rinse off. I was gifted by a friend the High Sierra shower head with the hose. The hose mounted easily to the existing faucet in the shower. The shower head hung in the existing plastic holder on the wall. I took my first shower with it and it was amazing. My first thought was why are these not standard in every RV and for that matter hotel rooms. It was hard to believe it was low flow and that it saves water because the pressure was great snd it felt to me more water was coming out. I could shower fast now without draining the hot water tank. The hose was extra long too so I could wash my feet easier and all the “other” areas. The quality is top notch. Since then I have been in numerous hotels and Airbnb’s and everyone is tired of me complaining about the poor water pressure. Seriously though, this High Sierra shower head should really be in all rv’s and hotels. I love it and thank you to my friend for gifting me one.
Chris (verified owner) –
Solid construction, good pressure, trickle valve is well executed; this shower head feels like it will last for a long time. The only drawback is that the shower head creates a fine mist at the edge of the spray, making it difficult to keep your hair dry while washing your face and neck. Still a 5-star product.
Don MacKinnon (verified owner) –
The spray pattern, water-saving flow rate, and shutoff button are perfect. I replaced all of my old showerheads with these because I am so impressed with the unsurpassed quality, aesthetics, and the friendly, efficient customer service. The product is made in California by a company that has earned my trust. Buy these; the environment, the economy, the employees, and most of all, you the customer will benefit.

Look no more for the perfect showerhead. I didn’t buy because of the water saving feature, that is a plus though, I bought because my hot water didn’t last for as long as I wanted,in the shower. Now it does. The force is powerful,the design is stylish, I just love everything about High Sierra. Class act company.
Daniel B (verified owner) –
Superb build quality. This feels very substantial and the water flow feels like a higher rate than many 2.5gpm nozzles.

Brenda Smith (verified owner) –
I was searching for a hand-held shower Made in USA and found High Sierra. I love it. My husband loves it. The dog loves it because I can control the flow down to a trickle. I bought another one for second bath when High Sierra offered Friday special. Ordered the handle with the rubber coating this time. This is the BEST shower experience and I recommend it to everyone. Thank you, High Sierra.
chris Pitch –
Well made. Good pressure
Christa Beebout –
Im very pleased with this shower head. Unlike other low flow heads Ive tried, this one is made of metal and feels built to last. The spray gives you enough water to easily rinse shampooed hair. The padded hand hold is necessary as the metal will heat up if your taking a hot shower. Hose is long enough to reach to the bottom and back of my tub, which is an added plus for washing my dogs. And it comes with an on/off switch so you can pause your shower while you soap up.
Deb –
We have a well with plenty of pressure, however, it has a low recovery rate. We decided to give this a try, and WOW were we impressed! Comes out strong, and consistent. Has a pretty good pivoting radius.We did however decide to return the single unit and replaced with the same that included the hand wand and extension hose for ease of cleaning the tub and shower. This works the same with full pressure and flow.
susan fox –
great quality
J. Jasper –
This showerhead works very well. It creates a strong shower while being low flow. It is very well crafted. I expect it will serve me well for many years!
The_Bishop –
This is a very long term review; I’ve had this product for a little more than two and half years at the time I’m writing this.I have had no issues whatsoever with this showerhead in two and half years. No clogs, no problems with the hose, the finish is still perfect.Originally I had ordered this because I have a teen that loves to take exceedingly long showers, and it was either limit the water flow or install a huge water heater. I took a shot on this showerhead. It worked out beautifully, and it’s nearly impossible to tell that it’s only a 1.5gpm shower.Buy this! You will not regret it.
Brad Renninger –
Certain things you buy are more than consumer items. This is one of those rare gems.
Mark D. Stevens –
We have gone thru numerous handheld shower heads and they always end up with the hose failing, the plastic falling apart, the spray features failing, etc. I specifically looked for a high quality unit and although you pay more for this than then the ones you find at home improvement stores, it is very much worth the price.It is a different shower experience since that shower head generates a large droplet, aerated stream, but now that we’ve gotten used to it, we love it. I really didn’t buy it for the water saving aspect, more so for the quality. You can’t go wrong and I like supporting U.S. based manufacturers. Keep up the good work High Sierra and thanks for the awesome product!
Ivan G. –
For 1.5 gpm, the shower head puts out a very strong water stream. The spray is narrower than expected but works well.

Does not work on a lower water pressure system.

Great showerhead. Low flow, but good pressure and feel.

Bought this so I could wash my dog this winter. Best purchase I have made all year. Well made all metal has great water psi. I have bought cheaper ones that don’t even make it a year.

Easy to install, looks really beautiful and clean. water flow is amazing and economical and the water stopper is really handy for temporarily cutting the water to shampoo or soap the body

Very good made in America construction. Old school workmanship.
Gloria E VanHouten –
Quality made. Great water pressure. Recommend it.
Judah –
A step above the rest is an understatement. I have owned all of the major shower head brands and this is definitely worth your money. If you’re looking for some type of rainforest effect this isn’t for you. If you want to be clean, look no further. Durable, stylish and gets the job done. What more could you ask for.
Sydney Bean –
I have lived with very low water pressure and wanted to exchange my traditional shower head with a handheld. After research, I purchased the 1.8 handheld. I am so happy I did. It is like bathing under a waterfall. It works so well. I didn’t install–I had someone else do it, and it didn’t take much time.
HME1975 –
I live with a low yield well that is connected to a cistern. We had to conserve water any way we can while still doing normal daily things, like showering. When I got this shower head in, it took a whole 2 minutes to install. They aren’t kidding when it says easy to install. The first time I used it, I wasn’t sure if I liked it, mostly because it was so different than my older style shower head. After using it a few more times, I love it. Just had to get used to the different way the water comes out, which is for the purpose of keeping good water pressure while only using 1.5 gpm, so it does make sense. Now that I’ve used it for a couple weeks, it doesn’t seem different anymore. The quality is top notch, all metal and feels substantial compared to cheaper plastic shower heads. This one is built to last.
J. Bien –
I give this 5 stars all around for the quality, made in USA, excellent dealer response to a problem. The shower head had a malfunctioning part and unfortunately I had to send it back. Rusty offered to send a new one so they really stand behind the product. I thought it has great pattern spread, pressure, droplet shape, and a beautiful modern shape with solid steel hefty weight. Chrome surface was very high quality and substantial, nothing cheap about this handheld shower head and the articulating head was a plus. Rusty assured me that the problem was something they’d never seen before and I can attest that no problems reported in reviews ever mentioned having the diffuser weld in the head break and fall out so he was obviously truthful. You should not be disappointed with your purchase.
CorGeek –
I loved my current shower head, but I had to change it for a handheld model if I wanted be able to give my puppy a bath. Happy to say, that the shower head fulfills the need and provides and excellent shower for me too! I love that the hose is long enough and has a “shut off” on the handle. Very useful.
Melissa M. Weininger –
Love it
Leah Giomi –
I love this shower head. I had one in my master bath and was going to make sure I put same thing in my guest bathroom.Such a well made product…thank you High Sierra (made in America)
M. L. Stephenson –
I have to admit that I was skeptical that a shower head could be worth this price (and odd design), but we really like this unit. It produces a shower that’s best described as “natural” – it does feed like standing under a forceful waterfall! With that said, it also sprays everywhere, and the force is enough to ricochet the water off the walls. For our purposes, we love it. The handle also protects the hand in case the metal body gets warm (which the rest of the unit certainly does!). We have wondered if the increased velocity of the water cools it down a bit. I haven’t noticed (I take cool showers to begin with), but my partner has. Nonetheless, no regrets and we’d definitely purchase again.
wes963 –
Just installed and waiting on next water bill.
Joceg –
Solid, well made product.
Thomas –
You can’t get better quality than this!!! Unfortunately The hand held piece alone weighs about one pound, no exaggeration. If you were to drop this on your foot you are in for a big ‘OWIE’! Other than that, keep a good grip on it. I would highly recommend the one with the soft grip handle, less likely to slip, feels more secure in your hand and better control.
Shena –
Didnt come with the part to hold it.
Edward Wiest –
Just what the doctor ordered!

Best purchase I’ve made in a long time. It delivers on the product features perfectly – lower water use, lower energy costs to heat the water, trickle valve is a lifesaver, and the water pressure – OH! – it’s amazing. I initially bought this one and the same showerhead without the handheld design in case this one didn’t fit comfortably in my shower stall. I tried this one out first and upon taking my first test shower I knew I had found “the one.” This baby is coming with me to every new city!
AJS –
It’s easy to control but I would prefer the water pressure control to be above the handle instead of below. I tend to grab the area where the control button is and it changes the water pressure. It is really great though and am looking forward to a drop in my water bills.
Dr. Manhattan –
great quality showerhead that uses less water but evenly disperses the drops, so you don’t even realize it is using less. Takes some getting used to but overall I would recommend
bravepotatoes –
We are all a fan of the power of this shower head’s spray. It’s great quality, definitely all metal, which is what we were looking for. This is gong to last for years. My complaint is that it doesn’t swivel down far enough for me. Our shower head bracket is now too high for me and the kids. Fixable but frustrating. I have figured out that I can hang it upside down for the mean time. That way it doesn’t just spray at the top of my head.
shane –
Love it, solid quality. I highly recommend
GTR1 –
I’m in a motor home and water pressure as well as conservation are always a issue. This is the first low volume shower head I have found that gives a nice shower. Its built like a tank so holding it feels like an expensive device. Very happy, will order a second unit for my home!
PC –
Ive owned this shower head for more than a year now and love this product so much I felt compelled to review it.Saving water is a priority for my family (as it should be for everyone who lives in the West, especially here in California), and while it was expensive, this shower head has more than paid for itself while greatly reducing our water consumption. Combining this product with a low-flush toilet has cut our water bill by more than 50%.I chose it for its sleek design, water savings, and based on a number of rave reviews. We replaced an aging 2.5gpm unit from a popular brand. When I installed it, my wife was initially skeptical about the modern design, its water-saving capabilities, and whether it would provide a good flow. These doubts vanished after the first couple of uses – as a matter of fact, she couldn’t believe that we were using a fraction of the water we were previously because the shower head provides such a nice satisfying flow with large, even drops. It really does seem like we are getting more water, and at just a slightly higher pressure. She got used to the design, and I think it looks great. The build quality is terrific; it feels like a solid, well-constructed luxury product when you pick it up.I unscientifically measured the output per minute by operating the shower head into a jug marked at the 1.5g line… it came in at just under the mark… maybe 1.4-ish gallons. That’s fine by me!I plan to add another bathroom next year and I will definitely purchase the same model again.Installing was super easy, I mean, it’s just a shower head. I did have to add a second gasket and apply Teflon tape to the pipe threads. A few months ago there was a clog; it was very easy to disconnect the nozzle to remove a large chunk of mineral that had gotten stuck in there. A 3 minute job at most. I have old galvanized pipes in my house so I doubt this would be an issue in a newer house with copper or pex water lines.As an aside, I attend grad school in San Francisco and noticed that my school had installed the previous version of this unit in the locker rooms, so evidently the school thought they were a great choice too.All in all, totally satisfied customer here. It’s great to support an American company too.

Have well water works great with pressure changes
T J –
Great product. I have very long hair that is super thick. The pressure is absolutely amazing and I have no issues with rinsing products from my hair. Highly reccommend!
Mr Opinion –
First of like all reviews , this is only MY opinion. The build of the shower head is very high quality metal. And it’s all metal. And it did retain heat during the shower quite well. Unfortunately my being used high pressure showers , this showerhead wasn’t for me. It does get you wet and makes you feel like you are in the rain so to speak , but not torrential feeling rain due to it being a low flow showerhead. Again this is my opinion , because I’m used to Korean showerheads. With that said I am giving the high Sierra 5 stars , because even tho it’s not for me it is still a high quality product.
David Sahl –
Didn’t know if I would like a shower head that wasn’t the “typical” spray pattern and only delivered 1.5 GPM; but this thing rocks! The materials are top notch (not cheap plastic), the trickle valve is super smooth and works great!

Function, quality, fit, finish all top notch! I replace a Delta 2.5 GPM and get a better shower! Thank you High Sierra!
Robert D. Schultz –
Extremely well made! My wife and I are very pleased with the new shower head. It looks like it will last forever and the spray, although saving water, is wonderful. I highly recommend this product.
Happy Shopping –
Awesome product! My shower head were constantly getting clogged with sediments, I was replacing them every 3 months and once I replace them I would notice clogged holes right away. Using this shower head I don’t have this issue…GREAT PRODUCT!
Marie Stubblefield –
I really think this was a good buy so far and ill give you the pros and cons. I think its a good thing for people who wanna save water and like a made in usa item that will last twice as long as the other stuff atleast.Pros.All metal and sturdy, comes with extra o-rings, had the button to turn the pressure down which will save me alot especially if you give babys a bath comes in super handy so they can take longer baths without costing you a fortune.Cons.Had to double up on the o-rings to get all leaks to stop. I have high water pressure with no regulator so maybe im a exceptionally for having bad leaks, there is no rubber on the neck so you can focus the water in a direction its all metal and always slides to point straight. At full pressure its still a little bit too soft of a spray but thats probably because its 1.5 gallon so you sacrifice the intense spray.
C. Mason –
Lots of shower power. We have installed them in 3 bathrooms in ourhome
WashingtonApple –
I bought this to replace a cheap plastic imported model that tried to flood my bathroom with a leaky hose. I said enough is enough I am going to buy a quality product, and a quality product is exactly what you get with this shower head. Its noticeably heavier in the hand than the average showerhead thanks to its brass and stainless construction. The trickle valve slides smoothly and can be adjusted depending on how far you slide it to slightly limit flow or almost completely stop it. This is very handy if you want to save water while soaping up. The shower spray pattern appears to be non-adjustable although its a nice medium width that pretty much covers all applications. My favorite thing about it is the feel of the spray, they are not kidding when they talk about large water droplets, it just feels like so much more water is hitting you than 1.8 gpm. You definitely don’t get that water saving shower head feeling. It feels luxurious. Also the rubberized grip keeps you in full control of the device, which is a very good thing because you definitely don’t want to drop it on your toes. I definitely recommend this if you don’t mind paying a little extra for a solid made in USA quality product with excellent performance.
beedle –
This thing is amazing! I love the heft and the quality feel, and it works wonderfully. I normally would opt out of using a low-flow shower head just because I need to have pressure in my life, but this thing does the trick and saves water, too! I’m very pleased.
Old Dog –
Having suffered from low water pressure for years I was not optimistic that changing the shower head would help. I have to report that High Sierra’s low flow solid metal shower head has changed our life! The powerful invigorating spray this unit produces is mind blowing.The first day I showered with it I was later asked numerous times if I had lost weight. After a week I noticed my hair growing back. I have been using it for a month now and I just got a promotion and a yuge raise!I don’t know if this will happen for everyone, but I do know my shower is a great place to be once more. I love showering again. Shampoo in the hair? Blasted away in moments. hard to rinse soap from skin? No match for the torrent emitting from this nozzle. Like standing under a waterfall compared to the last shower head we had. No fine mist here!Has a heavy solid weighty feel in the hand that lets you know you bought a quality piece of equipment. My wife is rather short and she can adjust the spray to hit her when it is in the holder Get the water volume adjustment function. I have found it to be useful and it can be turned down (or off) to conserve water with hardly any loss of enjoyment or effectiveness .I was worried about spending this much money, but having used it for a few weeks now I have no regrets and would not hesitate to buy another if needed (I don’t anticipate needing to replace it. I think it will last a long time) . My wife is very pleased as well. Getting the hair color rinsed out is a breeze now she says. Very happy with this purchase!

We’ve had the 1.5 GPM handheld model for over a month. Easy to set up. The nozzle spray is strong enough especially if within 8 inches from the tip. But when positioned on it’s holder at 6 feet a short person like me (4 ft. 8 in. tall) cannot get the full force. So when we remodel our bathroom I will install a second holder at 5 feet. When I hand-hold the nozzle it’s fine. We have a small tankless water heater that provides 1.5 GPM heated water so this shower head is perfect. And the fact that it saves water is so enviromentally important.

Solid built and performs the way I want – and made in U.S.A.
Amazon Customer –
Made in the USA, I like (& support) that. The shower is great, and I need to save water. The quality is worth a FIVE STAR rating for sure. About a year ago, I got the adjustable shower heads from another company that you could switch between 0.5G, 1.0G, and 1.5gpm but even though it came in a two-pack for much less money, one of them didn’t even fit . Oh well, you get what you pay for.One of the great features that High Sierra doesn’t even mention is the push-button valve that is used to cut the water off…they do mention it has it, but they only say it can be used to go from “full flow” to cutting the water off for a time if you don’t want to use water while you are doing whatever….BUT, I must say, the action on the button is so smooth, that you can just slide it part way to get even LESS water flow from the head. It’s can be moved VERY EASY from 100% down to 0% so you can, with ease, have it on 50% (just 0.75 gpm if you’d like) to save as much water as you want! I don’t know if doing this will wear it out sooner than expected or not though. Hey HIGH SIERRA…if you want to make a 1.0 gpm Handheld Showerhead, sign me up to be a tester!!! We need to save all the water we can where I’m at so every bit helps! Great job on this product, would advise anyone who is willing to pay the price to get one, you will love it!

All components are very well built.A few minor cons that weren’t obvious to me before using:The shower head feels much heavier than a typical plastic head.Rubber grip stays cool but the rest of the head gets hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch after few minutes of use.
Gabriela M. –
Nice hefty shower head and handle, not like cheap ones from China.I’ve used it for a while and works very well. Ordered additional ones and installed in all my other bathrooms.
Kindle Customer –
Very good quality “USA Made” and you can tell they tested it before they sent it out by the small amount off water I found in the plastic.
Lee B –
I really like this shower head and my wife like’s it too. The flow is surprisingly strong. The trickle valve is very easy to use. I have no complaints at all.
Dee M –
We ordered this nearly a year ago and use it almost every day. The water pressure is excellent. It was easy for my husband to install. There have been no leaks and no problems. After purchasing disappointing cheaper alternatives, we highly recommend this product.
W. Kohler –
Excellent showerhead. Very well made
Karla E –
Our family has used this brand for years now.
King Kong –
A little noisy, but I don’t really notice it while I’m showering. I can hardly tell that this unit uses almost half the water as the previous showerhead. Fantastic way to save water! I love the quick shutoff button because you can get nice and lathered up head to toe before rinsing down. Looks great too.
Swingbass –
It is GREAT! The water came out so slow with our other shower head. This one is nice and powerful.
James P. Joyce –
We have low pressure water in our neighborhood, rencing our hair has always been an issue since moving into this house. The High Sierra shower head has solved this issue, it also attached easily to the built-in handheld shower line.
Kimberly Biddle –
I seldom take the time to write reviews but am so impressed with this product! Have wasted a lot of money on big name brand shower heads that are completely plastic and flimsy with inflexible tubing. Initially this seems expensive but is so well made and solid. The stream of water is perfect and the cut off for shaving and soaping up is a wonderful addition. The pivoting head allows for easily readjustment of direction but does not adjust of its own volition. And it looks stylish and sleek. Would never believe that it conserves water flow by the pressure of the stream. Wonderful !
M. Cole –
I wanted a shower head with all metal Construction. And I wasn’t finding one. I looked at all the major hardware stores, several home good stores, and several websites. I kept finding plastic. I finally located this on Amazon, and despite not knowing the name brand decided to try it out. I am very glad I did.The shower head has a very space-age look, which looks a bit odd in my very old house. However it works beautifully. I had specifically been looking for one with a long hose, so that I could wash my dog’s a little more easily in the bathtub. The hose is long enough to make this process very easy.Installing it took less than 5 minutes and I needed no special tools. The water flow is consistent, and I enjoy the pause button for when I stop and shave my legs.Eventually I will purchase another for the other bathroom in my house. The price is well worth the product.
Margaret M Feudo –
Every day when I take a shower, I think how great this shower head is. I was surprised that 1.5 GPM is MORE than enough. The hose attachment makes it so easy to rinse down the shower and keep it clean. When you open the package, it is striking how sturdy and substantial it feels compared to the cheap shower heads. It is beautifully made and looks GREAT installed. Best of all, my husband loves it and it is MADE IN USA!
Denise Barton –
Straightforward, simple and just what a shower head should be. Glad that it is made in USA. A snap to install. Made well, and not heavy by nicely balanced feel. Nice metal and if there’s any plastic in it, it was maybe the fitting/washer at the attachment end to the water supply. Didn’t really need plumber’s tape.
Karl J. –
I like it. Water savings is great. Just a heads up to anyone using a tankless water heater. Ensure you minimum flow rate is below 1.5 GPM or this won’t work for you. Also, the pause button can’t really be used with a tankless, (since when you “pause” the water with the button on the showerhead, no water is flowing; when that happens your tankless will shut off – pressing the button to resume water flow means your tankless will reengage, but it will have to warm back up to the previous temperature. This means you’ll get a bubble of cold water hitting you. Not fun.) So I’d recommend getting the version without the pause button, unless you need that for another reason. Honestly those are the only pitfalls. Great showehead with enough pressure to make the wife happy. Less water using to make me happy.
E. Ruiz –
Its a nice product, saves a lot of water and feels like you are using large amount of water but not really. I already bought one for each shower and I’m very happy. I congratulate to the designer and the maker for this product.
Vydas B. –
A right proper deluge at only 1.5 gpm? Yes! (verified by the timed bucket test). This is not a meek, mild gentle rain-type delivery. It douses thoroughly! Components seem like they will last “forever” … no cheapo plastics. Particularly nice is the flex hose, which actually flexes easily, unlike other manufacturers’ plastic hoses that retain the curvature from being coiled for packaging (a D…. unit we replaced wouldn’t straighten out even after days of letting the showerhead hang straight down – raise it back to the holder, hose curls up and out). Very impressed with all aspects of the High Sierra.
Linda G. –
I purchased one of these about a month ago, I liked it so much i bought a second. The build quality on this item is superb. Performance of the shower head is exactly as advertised.The shower head is built of metal and beautifully finished. It is almost like a piece of jewlry. All connections fit easily resulting in easy installation, even for the non plumber in the house.Water flow is exactly as advertised at 1.5 gallons per minute using the bucket test. I’ll admit this item is a bit pricey but well worth the extra cost.
DAN COHEN –
Excellent build and quality, the flow is perfect, I love it.
Brian –
Works perfectly, well made, and should be mandatory in every home in California.
Dan C. –
This is my second low flow showhead from High Sierra. I am adding it to my second bathroom. I’ve had the first one for 5 years in my first bathroom and it still works perfectly. I would buy more products from High Sierra but I’ve run out of bathrooms in my house.
Kristy Lamm –
I haven’t gotten my water bill yet, but I am hopeful. 🙂 it was easy to install, and great quality! Two thumbs up! Seems like it will last a lifetime!
AvidReader –
I was apprehensive at spending so much for a shower head, but it excels in everything a shower head should do:1) It will blast the day’s sweat and dirt away (the flow feels more than 2.5gpm but uses only 1.5gpm)2) The trickle valve allows me to lather up without countering the water, making my bathing quicker and easier3) The hose allows for focused water in hard to reach areas, again making bathing quicker and easierWithout being uncomfortable or feeling like a sacrifice is being made, I’m able to shower in about 4 minutes, with the water running for maybe 1.5 – 2. Meaning a complete shower is about 3 gallons.There are two areas where things could be improved:1) Noise. It produces slightly more noise than other shower heads I’ve had. Nothing deafening, but noticeably louder.2) Fair amount of side spray. Your ceiling won’t be dripping with water, but the shower curtain will definitely get a soaking.Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase.
ChristmasDad –
I replace an existing showerhead with a High Sierra head every chance I can. I love watching people be skeptical before and amazed after.
Ernest R. Ewert –
OK, so I like a high power shower. The shower heads that I had previously used (the first originally purchased from BBaB and replaced with the same model 3 years later from Amazon) are no longer sold. The company started making newer ones out of ‘metal-looking’ plastic and reports indicated that the ‘life expectancy’ wasn’t great.I got used to the high power mist over the years so I wanted to give this one a few showers to see if I would like it. (I have another that lasted only two showers…)Pros:Hefty metal construction.Excellent fittings that DO NOT require plumbers tape.Much bigger drops that DO NOT fog my mirrors nearly as much or as quickly as the ‘misty’ shower heads.Shower head is adjustable on the arm.I am taking SHORTER showers with a 1.8 GPM head than with the 2.5 GPM it replaced.Cons:I ~could~ use just a LITTLE more pressure (speed of water drops impacting). Being on the 4th floor of a condo doesn’t help this.
Amazon customer FRJ –
Perfect shower head.
Brenda J –
After wasting my money on various showerheads that are made of plastic, and leaked…..and wasting my time hiring someone to install then I would have to return them for a refund, I invested in a High Sierra all metal shower head and I could not be happier with this purchase! It has one setting and trickle and that is really all you need with this showerhead!! Well worth the investment, you will not be disappointed with this lovely High Sierra showerhead!!
C. Joe –
The shower system looks modern and super high-end. The all metal construction (including the hose) gives a sense of excellent build quality. Although it is low flow system, the aerated output feels really strong. The shower handle is non slip. The cut off switch is very convenient.Pros:Very attractive with excellent workmanshipAll metal construction (No plastic components)Strong outputNo leaksWorth every pennyCons:Only one output modeAerated water sprays everywhereExpensiveSummary:Ultimately, you get what you pay for. This shower head works well with the Aqua Elegante 10″ adjustable shower arm. My wife likes this shower head because she can wash her hair quickly; whereas; other low flow shower heads would take significantly longer to wash her hair.
Amazon Customer –
LOVE this shower head. It’s still a strong water output while using much less water! I highly recommend it! Great product!
Moneeka O’Sullivan –
GREAT PRODUCT!! Water pressure is perfect. Our tenants like this hand-held showerhead with flexible hose also. Love the trickle valve feature which makes saving water & cleaning the tub easy! this is such a well made product we have purchased seven (7).
Amazon Customer –
I refuse to sell it back for 4x the price back!!!

Wonderful !!
Bogdan S. –
I can’t believe this is a 1.5 gpm shower head. In all honesty I haven’t tried any other low flow shower heads but this one blew me away(almost literally). I needed a new shower head and wanted to conserve water so I did my research and came upon High Sierra. The reviews convinced me to give it a try and boy I was not disappointed. To be clear this is not a rainfall type shower head with individual streams. It’s pretty much firehose style. The power of the stream of water is very impressive. It subjectively feels much stronger then the regular shower heads I have used. I expected to sacrifice some shower satisfaction to save water but I like this move then any other shower head I have used. The Trickle Valve is awesome too. It adds significantly to the water savings and operates in a light and smooth fashion. While not inexpensive the whole unit exudes quality and durability with its all metal construction and excellent chrome finish. The fact that it’s made in the USA by a small company just makes it that much better.

Very good product.

I needed a shower head that could shut off the flow at the head, and this works. The little slider is easy to use and prevents the water from spraying everywhere. It’s fine.
ErinVC –
For a long time I’ve been looking for a solution to my wife running out of hot water when taking long showers. This was with a 50g tank. Tried the Niagara shower head but kept leaking. This however has turned out to be the answer allowing her plenty of hot water along with an ample amount of pressure. Install was easy. I probably didn’t need to tighten it as much as I did. I tried it myself tonight and can see myself getting just a showerhead for my shower. Also, this is solidly built and feels like it will last for years, and if we move will definitely be going with us.
Jared Erling –
This showerhead is built like a tank and has the best pressure you can buy. This is the second one I’ve purchased and I want a dozen more. Trickle valve works like a charm, the hose is strong and flexible and solid not a wimpy vinyl hunk of crap. I recommend this to anyone wanting better pressure let alone wanting to save money on their water bill.
Swany –
Well built, awesome spray.
Livewithstyle –
Excellent quality and functionality.
A. R. Whittley –
We purchased two. Not the cheapest shower head out there, but incredibly well made. For us, they were well worth the money spent!!!
Unhandled Exception –
UPDATE:Customer service quickly replaced my unit via USPS Priority Mail. My family are impressed with the pressure provided by this showerhead, especially considering its low water use.ORIGINAL:Bought this based upon the stellar reviews. After 1 shower, my wife made me remove it citing that it was too rough for her liking. I slyly moved it to the guest bathroom. Our first guest complained it was too abrasive. Next my mom visited, and she also complained it was too rough. I hope somebody on eBay will love it!
kate f hurley –
I don’t have low water pressure but just bought this to conserve water. So effective, I even adjusted the flow further down for normal use.
Amazon Customer –
great product
Silver Trumpet –
We have had a high sierra showerhead in our home shower for several years and love it. We had not been pleased with the shower in our travel trailer and decided to give a high sierra a try in there. Installation could not have been easier. Unscrew the attachment from under the spigot and screw on the high sierra assembly (we purchased it with the shut off valve and metal hose). What a difference!! Even with the low pressure from the on board water systems, it was like being in the shower at home. My wife and granddaughter were finally able to thoroughly rinse their hair. The shut off valve worked smoothly. We use even less water per shower and feel much cleaner. Great purchase. Should be offered as an option on all new trailer sales!!!
Pixelmover –
This shower head really puts out a great stream with less water. It is easy to handle and the trickle feature is a big plus. The construction is top notch and feels very durable. It is great to adjust the shower head at the handle instead of having a rotating plastic base that will wear out and break over time, like most other hand-helds. Their stationary base is steel and holds the handle well.I have to say the customer service (Rusty) of High Sierra is the best I have seen in a long time. I did have an issue with my shower head, which Sierra tested for me and were able to deduce it was a water pressure issue. He sent me back a modified newer model that would prevent too high of pressure from affecting the internal diaphram, at no extra cost. And it worked great after I received it. He was super helpful in trying to help me find any issues on my end before having me send mine to them for testing.They are completely focused on their products performance and quality. I highly recommend their shower heads. Top quality.
Laura Law –
I was looking for a low flow hand held shower that still delivered good pressure. After reading all the reviews, I decided to try High Sierra’s WaterSense. It is not much to look at but to my surprise it works really well – plenty of pressure for a very good shower experience.
Irishlazz –
The product seemed very good quality – our water pressure was just too low for even this shower head. Company was most excellent to deal with as well.
M. young –
Built to last, engineered for convenience, easy to install and made in the USA. Has a trickle valve and extra-long hose, great for dog washing and a quick cleanup. It will pay for itself in no time because I’ll no longer drive to the do-it-yourself dog wash ($15, plus gas). I bought the 1.5 gallons-per-minute model and it does the job. If you have thick long hair, you might want the 1.8 gallons-per-minute model.
Mr. Jones –
We rely on rainwater for all our household needs so water conservation is essential. But my husband loves to take long showers. I was not convinced that the High Sierra fixture would work with our system but it works astonishingly well. This fixture not only saves water, it saves marriages.
Tim –
Excellent quality. Great fit and finish. Wonderful customer service. Just wish I had tried the 1.5 gpm first. Amazon has only a small selection of what’s available from this company. Absolutely worth the price. No doubt it’ll last a lifetime. Start saving on water and heating fuel now!
Caroline Taylor –
Wonderful showerhead. Strong nozzle, sleek design, and consciously built.
bluepearl –
Excellent Small yet powerful
chaswes5 –
Outstanding product.
Swany –
Build quality is amazing. The holder that mounts to your existing plumbing is 100% metal (other than the rubber gasket). The sprayer is all metal except for the white ceramic handle and the semi transparent cover at the nozzle. I can detect no plastic anywhere!The nozzle has an amazing amount of freedom, it moves a lot more than I thought it would. It stays put right where you aim it and I can direct it to spray every corner of my shower. Pressure is excellent for a 1.8 GPM head.I searched high and low for a hand sprayer/mount combo that would not break if someone was a bit too rough. I almost gave up the search, then I found this beauty. Even though it is all metal, the slim design keeps the overall weight just right, enough heft to feel top notch, but not too heavy for a small or elderly person to use. If you want quality, search no more, just get this.
Old rose –
This shower head is fantastic, great, wonderful!!!!!! It is a little louder than my really old one ( it was so clogged up couldn’t make any noise )MY HUSBAND SAYS THERE IS NO WAY THIS ONE WILL SAVE ON WATER, BECAUSE SO MUCH COMES OUT OF IT! I was a little worried about how well it would work,I have very long hair and it took a while for the old 2.5 gpm to rinse it out.NOT WITH THIS ONE ,IT SOAKS YOU! If you have ever got caught in a rain storm and got soaking wet, well that’s how this shower feels . I haven’t had it long enough to see how much it will save on my water bill yet,hopefully that will be as nice as this shower feels. I will update when I get my next bill…..also the non-slip handle works great too.
Amazon Customer –
Our hot water has tiny grains of sediment that would quickly clog any showerheads we tried. The High Sierra solved this problem – instead of tiny pinholes, the stream of water is dispersed through a nozzle, similar to the spray on a garden hose. The solid rubber hand grip gives a nice style accent as well as making it comfortable and non-slip. Also, it’s made of solid metal (except the clear plastic spray shield at the head) so I expect it to last a long time – the quality surpasses many more expensive showerheads. Installation took mere seconds — it was simple to screw onto the existing shower hose without needing any tools.
The 1.5 gpm spray is strong and definitely conserves water, but the reduced amount of water takes longer to rinse my hair – the 1.8 gpm version Could be a better choice in that regard. Also, there are no variable spray settings (pulsating, narrow, wide, etc.). But I’m very pleased that I no longer need to unclog or replace my showerhead. Plus, it’s nice to have such a well made and well priced item that’s made in USA; it will probably be the last showerhead I’ll ever need to buy.
SoCalgrl –
This is our second showerhead from this company. We bathe our little dog at home and this is perfect size and strength and hose extension is perfect length. Shut off valve makes it so handy. We have the one in our guest bathroom and people can’t believe it is a low flow showerhead! Makes it easier and cheaper to have guests visit us in southern Cali during our drought!
D. Wilcox –
Love the shower heads… Helps a lot with my low pressure situation.
Amazon Customer –
This is the second one of these showerHeads that i have purchased.Unlike other water saving heads this one is gentle yet forceful. I usually set the shut off button half way and it is still more than enough for a good shower. Handheld is best way to go to replace one you already have.
sasha rodriguez –
I think I owe it to the company to gave this rating, it is one of the best , I have a well with low pressure this shower helps a lot
AJ –
This is by far the best shower head I’ve ever owned. The spray is great and it’s composed of high quality parts. Best of all, it’s made in the USA!
Doterling –
Quality.
Brian Ferguson –
This shower head is amazing! With the stream it produces you would never guess it’s a low-flow shower head. Quality construction, too – impressed the plumber enough that he ordered one for himself.
otterriffic –
This showerhead arrived fast and efficiently packaged. I’m glad we decided to buy the set that comes with the hose and holder because all the parts are metal and they fit well together. (I wanted something metal because our previous plastic detachable showerhead from another company started leaking at the seams.)Looks: This showerhead is beautiful. It also feels well made (made in USA!) with durable ceramic and metal parts that have some heft to them.Installation: So easy, took 5 minutes to install.Performance: I can’t believe this is 1.5GPM! The water pressure is higher than our old 2.5gpm showerhead so it feels like you’re still getting as much water (if not more). The spray is direct and great for rinsing thick curly hair. Speaking of curly hair, the “pause” feature is amazing. I highly recommend this for people who have to comb their hair in the shower as it saves so much water, but allows you to resume at the same temperature whenever you are ready.I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m looking forward to having this last me for many years!
Amazon Customer –
Even better than the first one.

Does the trick, saves water and seams to rinse you off better then wasteful faucets.

Excellent force with water saving. Well worth the price.
john –
Nice unit. Superbly engineered. Saved 40% of shower water. Not good with kids–get the wall unit. They dropped it so many time the white porcelain cracked. Company said they would fix it for free if I paid shipping both ways. In the end, they returned me my self-addressed shipping so it only cost me one way. Too nice a unit to throw away. I felt compelled to get it fixed.
Bene –
Love this product as it really delivers a powerful flow – feels like much more water than our old 2.5-3gpm showerhead but uses much less water. These low-flow showerheads should be required throughout the country!
Sojourner –
These are great! We installed one in our home, and then bought two others and installed them for other family members. It’s amazing how much less water they use, which is critical during this drought, yet they apply a really nice spray of pressure. Using a handheld is also so much more civilized in that you can wash them hard to reach areas. 🙂
Faith –
Excellent product! This has really helped save water! So glad we saw the advertisement and purchased it since we live in the San Joaquin Valley with the drought! I would recommend this to everyone interested in cutting down on water and still having plenty of water pressure!
Debi –
We’ve owned this unit for over 10 years. It’s fantastic! You’d never guess it’s a low-flow shower head; it delivers great pressure with plenty of water to rinse off shampoo, soap or body wash. We also use this to bathe our dogs; makes the job very easy on us and them. You can adjust the flow from a trickle up to full-force or shut off completely. This saves even more water since it doesn’t have to be left on while you lather up. Because the flow is so adjustable, it’s great for dogs and toddlers. No overwhelming them with forceful water. I’m here to buy another unit for the other full bath in our new home. Nothing negative about this product; it’s been problem free for us and it’s used daily for DH and me, and every 7-10 days for the dogs. We purchased our first unit at a home show. I’m so glad to have found it here.
Rogue Physicist –
This is a high quality. all metal shower head. And even though it’s only 1.5 gpm, it produces a nice spray. I was surprised.However, it’s still only 1.5 gpm, and there isn’t a flow restrictor which can easily be removed. To increase flow, you have to take apart the shower head and enlarge the water passage with a drill. In other words, increasing the flow is not reversible.Also, I only wanted the handle. And it seems you can’t buy the handle without the head. I already have a modified hi-flow shower head which I wanted to use with this handle. And it works well.
Giraffe –
This is the best shower head that I have ever used. I love it. I put this in the kid’s shower and now want one for my shower. I have tried many other shower heads (from 1.5 GPM to 2.5 GPM) and this one is much better than any of the other ones that I have every used – even better than the standard-flow shower heads. The water flow from this shower head is perfect. It feels like very full water flow – feels like so much water that I did not believe that it was only 1.5 GPM until I measured the flow rate myself and confirmed that it is only 1.5 GPM. The water flow is very unlike any other low flow shower head that I have used. The drops big and hit you softly, but in a way that makes it easy to get shampoo out of your hair and soap off of your body. I highly recommend this product. The handle works fine. It is very solid. It fit our existing tubing for the hand shower that we replaced. The button at the bottom of the handle can be used to turn off the water flow when shampooing your hair.
Diane F –
Thus device is fantastic!!! You would really think you are getting the highest pressure of water coming out. I like it so much, I am thinking of giving it as gifts! Every home in CA needs to replace all their shower heads with this nozzle, you will NOT regret anything…….ever!!!!
pihC –
Works as advertised. Quality construction and design. Water flow pattern and pressure passed the wife and daughter approval test. I even got my daughter to use the trickle valve. Daughter thinks it is a little ‘loud’ but that’s not really a concern. Would like to see it come with an attachment to mount to existing shower head spigot. It does not, so you have to get one. Home Depot & Lowes have them in different finishes and they are low cost. One thing I would like to see: the handle is really smooth so difficult to grip and control when hands are soapy. Would be nice to have some sort of knurled handle or otherwise.
Rebecca Howarth –
The water flow feels good for a low-flow head. The shape is a bit awkward since it is shorter than the other handheld shower heads– the result is that I have to stoop under this one when it’s in the same holder.The trickle valve blocks the flow, but the first time I used it, it would not turn off, so I couldn’t get the water back on. The head had to be disassembled to unclog it. Not clear where the thing that blocked it came from, but the seller was very responsive and told me how to take it apart and offered to replace it if I didn’t want to try that.In summary, though, I really like this shower head. I’m probably going to buy another for the kids’ shower, and I’m recommending this to my friends and family. The water flow really does work well. It’s not quite as powerful as the old-old-style with no restrictors, but it’s way better than most low-flow ones I’ve tried. And the water savings is amazing!
Aspire2BACat –
Water pressure is great, and I have very thick hair. This will help us reach, if not surpass, our 30% water use reduction mandate here in CA. This is likely the single most effective (and quick) fix we can make, indoors. The trickle feature is what is going to offer the greatest impact, although the 1.5 GPM is also going to be a great help. You do need to purchase your hose and holder separate, this purchase is ONLY the head. Our next step is to locate a water recirculator to eliminate the waste of water while running the faucet to await arrival of the hot water in our distant bathrooms.This is also offered in a fixed head, for those that don’t have the hand held set up.
Flmhdpsycho –
Received the item before the scheduled delivery date, so +1 for that.Installed the shower head immediately and it is fantastic. It is MUCH better than my previous 2.5 gpm shower head. I would definitely recommend this product to someone else.
Pamela –
Works great, would buy again, low flow good for California drought
Dale –
Works great
Mike C –
Very nice water flow. It’s the best low flow shower we’ve had. We actually turn the flow down a little because we don’t need such force. The trickle valve is useful too.
VA Biker –
This combination is better than I had hoped for really. The selected flexible hose is metallic on the outside, but extremely flexible. The High Sierra Showerhead is really great in every regard. As a mechanical engineer involved in manufacturing, I am highly critical of design, function, and appearance. Though this unit might not be as “fashionable” as some by other mfrs., it hits it out of the park for design and function. I like that the slider valve that can be varied in its position between on and off. I directly sought a made in USA shower head to support US manufacturing. I have no regrets whatsoever. The mfr. is and should be proud of the rock-solid item they have produced.The potential water-savings of this shower head was brought home to me in a big way when I used it to fill a bucket for floor washing. There is a mighty disconnect between what you see and expect versus what is delivered per unit time into the bucket! A direct flow fill at my typical pressure would have filled the bucket 1.5g in 30s or less. I had to wait and wait on this shower head. In the moment is was annoying, but really, it was awesome! All that spray and apparent volume at a fraction of the regular flow rate.This is a really great product and I have recommended to several friends so far!
Tooluser –
Tremendous blast of pressure (though it’s not in a nice snapped cone), had to measure it to believe it was actually low flow.Measure less than 1gpm but feles like over 3, amazing!

I didn’t buy my shower head from Amazon, but directly from the manufacturer (regular price a few months ago). I swear, this is the best shower head I’ve ever used! Despite being such a great water saver, it’s got a wonderful, strong stream of water that you’d never guess was saving water. It’s great for getting out shampoo and conditioner, it’s got a great spray circumference and the little button that shuts it off to a dribble while you soap up is great so that you don’t have to shut off the water at the faucet is a really nice feature. I highly recommend this shower head. Great purchase!

My shower head had finally died and I went looking for an AMERICAN MADE replacement. This turned out to be more difficult than I realized…. Then I found High Sierra. I was so excited that they are made with brass. No cheap plastic that will crack and die after a few years.I was hesitant about the “low flow” because I have long, super crazy thick hair that takes forever to rinse. To get all the soap out I had to put my shower head on the highest setting and blast it out. One of the things mentioned on High Sierra’s website was that it worked well with thick hair so I purchased one and I love it! It rinses so much better than my old shower head. I love it so much that I bought another for my daughter.Water efficiency aside – this shower head is awesome!! I hope someday he will make ones for the sink faucets and garden hose!! :o))

I gambled on this item but it proved to be better than I imagined and better than what the manufacturers literature.I look forward to getting under the very unusual, gentle, rain like spray every morning. A very special way to start my day.

This is a wonderful replacement for hand held shower that broke after 11 years. The feel of the water from the shower head is utter delight. Not prickly, but gentle and forceful, if such can be. I was fearful with the low flow I would not like it compared to my previous shower massage. Not so. To enjoy a great shower and save water, buy this! I found this by searching for shower heads made in the U. S. A.

My wife Loves this product. I originally bought a High Sierra 1.5 GPM High Efficiency Low Flow Shower Head for myself and really liked it. The wife wanted something that was handheld for her shower. This product exceeded all of our expectations. The force of the water exceeds the shower head we had mounted beforehand and we did not have to do anything to increase the water pressure. Works as advertised, arrived as expected and the manufacturer is a good egg to do business with. Recommended.

This thing is the bomb! Good quality, on-off switch, very low flow and great spray. Couldn’t be more pleased.

I purchased the 1.8 gpm model of this showerhead. The flow is very strong, you will not feel like you are using a “green” shower head. This water saving device is critical here in California. The shower head is very hefty and feels very solid, unlike other shower heads made of chrome plated plastic. This is solid steel throughout. Made in the USA!!!!Please note, this does not come with a hose or holder. You’ll have to get those separately.

Well made.I like having the ability to change the head. Wish I would have found it years ago

Due to the severe drought here in CA and the recent restrictions demanded by the State, I decided it was time for a new showerhead. I bought this directly from the manufacturer a couple of weeks ago. I LOVE IT! It gives great pressure and doesn’t feel like a low-flow shower. No stinging, needle-like, but useless, streams of water stabbing you. It feels like feels like lots of water coming out, but just in a smaller radius (at least compared to my old hand-held one). Gets the shampoo and conditioner out just great, has a a shut-off valve that slows water to just a trickle while you’re lathering up so you don’t waste water, and it’s a good looking unit. Very solid, all metal except for the handle, which is porcelain and made in the USA. I was able to use the hose from my old hand-held shower, rather than buying a new one. And it was a piece of cake to install – took about 3 minutes and a couple of turns of a wrench at the end. I’m so glad I bought this! Can’t wait to see what my next water bill looks like – I’m sure I’ll see an improvement.

Great product. Good pressure, low flow rate and appears to be very well made.

Thisis an amazing shower head. Hard to believe the flow is so low given the amount of water flooding your body.

This Handheld shower head is exactly what I have been searching for! Superior construction, simplicity in design & delivers it’s patented Low Flow 1.5 GPS as if you were using a normal open flow shower head which wastes our precious water consumption!!I rate this delivery system a 5+. Should you decide to purchase this item I would suggest that you also acquire the recommended delivery two part delivery system which you will need to connect to your main water outlet ( the 100″ water line & the Handheld Shower-head Holder which are sold separately at a minimal cost). You will ultimately save on shipping costs especially if you order these items via ‘Amazon Online’. Please note that due to consumer demand that it may take several weeks for your order to be completed which was what I experienced. It was well worth the wait and I have been exceedingly happy with this products performance while using it daily for the past couple of months.

Fantastic value. Exceeded my expectations. Easy install and great water pressure and with only 1.5 gallon per minute this is amazing.
Anna Kaven Alley –
The showerhead is great. It reduces water flow greatly but it doesn’t feel like it because you still get a strong, wide spray of water due to the device’s design. For Californians, Arizonans and any others who want to conserve water, this is a product that really works without having to sacrifice comfort.

This shower head provides great pressure, making my showers a little shorter since it rinses better than a wimpy low flow head. The only caution I would have, which may not apply to others, is that when I use the control valve to shut off the flow to shave or whatever, the flow starts back up fairly hot. I don’t know if this is something that only occurs with my showers mixing valve, but it something to be aware of. My wife and daughter don’t notice this in their shower.

About a month ago, I was sent and outrageous water/sewer bill. I checked every toilet and faucet for leaks and everything was tight, so my water usage had to be the result of showers, toilets, washing machine and dish washer. I checked the toilets and they are about as efficient as they can get, so I decided to replace the WaterPik shower head and see if that makes a difference.I bought the High Sierra Handheld with a control valve. It is a low flow at 1.5 GPM which is much less then the WaterPik. I ordered it on March 28th and it was in my mailbox today, April 3rd. I also bought a Inox 100 inch stainless steel hose so I can reach my dog when I give him a bath. I used the existing shower arm mount which worked perfectly.This unit was easy to install, gives a powerful shower, looks good and works very well. I like the control valve as that will save water while I wash my dog.I highly recommend this Shower Head. Great job David.
