One of the things that I always check before renting an apartment is the water pressure of the showerhead. And while it's not exactly a deal-breaker, it's definitely an added bonus. For example: My first apartment in college had the lowest of the low water pressure that I've ever come across. In fact, I'd qualify it as a mere leak coming from the ceiling. And so would my old college roommate who recommended this Fire Hydrant Presidential Showerhead from Water Management.
Under Pressure: The Fire Hydrant Presidential Showerhead
This showerhead is touted as the Harley Davidson of all showerheads: it promises insanely strong water pressure for an invigorating shower, and it's built especially for homes that suffer from low water pressure. According to the spec, there are jets that shoot out from all angles, and the spray pattern is completely adjustable. Also? There's a 21-day guarantee on it, so you can return it for a full refund (no restocking fees and postage reimbursement!) if it fails to deliver.
Available at Water Management in five different finishes, price varies depending on finish.

My mom's old house had an AMAZING high pressure showerhead. It beat all the doldrums out of you with pure water pressure. You felt so alive.
Since then I have been trying to recreate that experience. I want the showerhead from Seinfeld that Kramer tries to use.

I recently moved and after a grueling day of painting, attempted my first shower in my new home. I quickly understood how lobsters feel when plunged into that boiling pot of water. My landlord came and fixed... something, but now my water pressure levels are pitiful at best. I will definitely be trying this showerhead!

Oh... water pressure (or lack thereof ) IS a deal breaker for me!
Most people need coffee in the AM... I need a good strong shower!
When I stay at a hotel, the first thing I check is the shower head - so I know what sort of day I'll have tomorrow!
I'm often surprised that many homes have lousy showerheads and they don't even seem to notice!! Yipes!

I have the Fire Hydrant Deluxe handheld from that company and I can attest at how well it works.
When we first moved into our current place, the water pressure was horrible, I never felt clean and I always felt like I had a layer of soap on my body because of how bad the water pressure was.
The showerhead from water management solved all of that. One of the best things I purchased all year.
