Looks identical to the one I have in the master shower. I didn't get it for
low water pressure, but because I like a strong needle spray and that head
delivers. If you don't like a needle spray, turn down the main water valve
and it's a nice low-flow rain.
Now that I think about it, it may have come with a flow restrictor, which I
threw away.
As someone noted, it does have to be cleaned occasionally. I get little
rocks of calcium/lime that get caught in the holes & upset the spray
pattern. But it's trivial to unscrew the head & clean out the holes in the
little flat disc. Just don't drop it in the drain <g>
