mmm, sluiciness

I cherish strong water pressure. My in-laws have a lovely townhome--relatively new, gorgeous backyard view onto wetlands, lovely decor. The water pressure in the upstairs bath is lacking. To compound the problem, the showerhead is about 7' high on the wall. I have to run in circles to get my hair wet.

My super fine hair starts looking dingy after a few days with poor water pressure. My skin itches more as the dry flakes don't sluice away as easily, no matter how diligently I exfoliate.

Tonight, I luxuriated in my own shower. My hair feels clean, my skin is significantly less itchy. I feel clean.

Agreed. I hate low water pressure too. I never feel clean with it.

Hope otherwise the trip was good.

*hugs*

Low water pressure = teh suck. I have to submit to it every summer and winter break :o/ I wish my parents would fix that. I just feel so unclean!

Now if there was only a cure for too-high water pressure.

BSU found one with their crappy showerheads. We used to unscrew them to just get the water straight from the pipe.

I'm thinking about a new showerehead, since the current one frequently feels needlelike. Pity there's no way to test them when shopping.

When I moved into the new townhouse, I noticed a significant change in water pressure. I've gone from good pressure to.. rain. It feels like a steady rainfall. It sucks, and I want a refund. :P Think a new showerhead might help?
