The 9 Best Costco Shower Heads Buyers Love For Strong Water Pressure
Whether you are in the market to change out an outdated shower head or you need to replace a broken one, Costco is a great place to find your next favorite fixture. They carry top brands like Kohler, Moen, and Delta, with a varied yet limited selection, so you can find the perfect shower head for you without drowning in infinite (and subpar) options. For most people, water pressure tops the list of shower head non-negotiables. Water pressure is affected by several factors — a weakening pressure might just be a sign that the shower head needs a thorough clean — but a new shower head is also worth the investment for the latest innovations that deliver on water pressure while conserving water.
Conventional wisdom says that stronger water pressure requires more water, so the higher GPM (gallons per minute) a shower head has, the more water pressure it provides. But these days, modern advancements utilize water more efficiently, so GPM isn't the final word on water pressure. Buyers should also look for shower heads with various flow options that include highly concentrated sprays and dual-head systems that can deliver a congruent flow to satisfy their water pressure preferences.
To determine Costco's best shower heads for strong water pressure, we evaluated each product's features and specifications, accounting for the head's GPM. Ultimately, we put the most stock in the customer reviews found on Costco's site, along with other retailers and the products' manufacturer sites. You can find a more detailed explanation of our methodology below.
