A shower often feels weak because of low baseline water pressure, which is common in apartments, older homes, and buildings with municipal pressure limits. A shower head can’t increase incoming pressure, but design plays a major role in how strong the shower feels.
According to Oxygenics, shower heads that focus on spray velocity, nozzle geometry, and balanced water distribution can significantly improve perceived pressure without increasing water use, even when plumbing limitations exist.
