ABSTRACT:
A water-flow control device for shower heads adapted to be positioned within the shower supply pipe adjacent the shower head, whereby the water-flow rate therethrough is considerably reduced, an varying pressure flow is automatically compensated. The device comprises a unitary body of resilient material having a central longitudinal bore to permit passage of water therethrough, the receiving end of the body being formed with a pair of oppositely inclined walls having interposed therebetween a slot defining movable shoulders which are inwardly flexed under high-flow conditions, thereby restricting water flow through the central bore.
