Not saying that better shower heads are not an option, but the pressure coming out of the shower head is less an issue with the shower head, and more to do with the pressure delivered to it.

Before you swap out your shower head, first check to see if the filter in the fitting to the head is clogged with debris left over from manufacturing.

If that is OK, then remove the head from the hose and check to see if you're getting a strong stream straight out of the hose.

If it's still weak, then go to the pressure pump and check the inline filter and clean it out.

I bet that will at least fix the pressure issue. Then go find yourself a better shower head.

We are considering upgrading the handheld shower head kit in our 2022 Hood River 196. The OEM unit does not put out much pressure at all, unless it’s left hanging by the floor pan. This is true both while boondocking, and on city/park water. It’s not a hard water issue either. That’s not a problem where we live, and we haven’t used city/park water enough in hard water areas for it to cause a problem.

I’d like to know of anyone has found a head/hose that:

1. Has better pressure (I understand that more pressure may necessitate restricted volume).
2. Has a longer hose than the factory unit. This is a secondary concern to the desire for more spray pressure.

I appreciate your feedback. ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2026 03:17:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16501&PID=155700#155700
