Best Answer

It's usually due to a combination of two things: back pressure from the shower head, aggravated by the newer low-flow shower heads, acting against a slight leak at the diverter valve. I find that it gets worse after I've been away for a few days and assume that there's scale build-up in both places... the shower head and the diverter. You can try using a descaling solution on the shower head and/or checking that the diverter valve is seating properly and possibly greasing its seat with some silicone grease.

How do you remove flow restrictor in a danze shower head?

Remove the shower head, careful not to damage the finish - use a cloth and an adjustable wrench. With the head removed, use a Phillips head screw driver and unscrew the plastic restrictor.
