Stupidly Simple low flow conversion

Step 2 Cut the cap

First remove the shower head, every shower head is different but try to find the spot with the seal.

Now it's time to make the "low flow adapter". I started by making some snips on the threaded part so I could open it up like a flower.

After that I cut off all the tabs and measured the opening of the shower head. Then I continued to cut the cap along the curved words until i had a circular-ish looking thing, it doesn't have to be perfect. Keep checking it with the shower head seal until you feel you can pop it into place, BUT DON'T DO IT YET!

Before you pop it in you have to place the hole in the cap, to do this I put the nail into a clamp and held the cap piece in my pliers. If you do not have a vice then put the hole in the cap before cutting it apart, make sure you start on the plastic side NOT the rubber side as we will need this rubber to help seal it.

Once that's finished pop the piece into the seal and get ready to shower!.... oh and save money =)

Hmmm, You could notch the edges and skip the puncture. It would even out the distribution of the water flow. I'm sure there is already water coming out of the edges, Just a thought. Tony

Oh i'm sure there is water leaking out, you'd be surprised at how much water still flows through the cap with just the 1 hole. You could do it the way you described, but you'll only need to nick out one maybe two small pieces to get the same flow.
