u need to change the Black Leather Circle, it comes between the shower hose and the pipe!! also check the shower hose from inside you may find some small stones and sands inside!!! i had this before and fixed it the exact same way i told you :)
Don't try to repair it. Replace it. All hand held showers use 1/2" hose fittings so any brand divertor should fit. Bring the part with you as there are different styles.
that must be because the water pressure coming out of the hansgrohe has loosen the area that holds hose. If its not a problem you can change what holds the hose for a newer one so that the hose is tighter
Try exchanging the Delta head with one of the other shower heads you are happy with if you haven't already done so. No change in the flow means it's not in the head, and change means it is.
If it is in the head, since you are on a well and not a municiple water supply, you might consider removing the factory install flow controll device located just below the threaded area that mounts to the shower arm. These inserts can be a real bugger on some heads and each one is a little different than the last. The trusty nail often works well.
Your body sprays, I believe, are factory fixed at something like 2.2 gpm and non adjustable.
Also consider for a moment a garden hose with trigger spray head on it. When you squeeze the trigger the water will shoot out a certain maximum distance. If you were to take an ice pick and poke a hole in the hose, that maximum distance will be slightly reduced. The more holes in the hose the less the maximim distance. Correspondingly, the more holes you poke the less distance each hole will squirt because you have the same pressure and volume of water but more exit points.
A monitor has a flow rate of about 6 gpm at 85 psi which is pretty average for shower valves. If your other showers have only one exit point(i.e. one head) and the R1824 has 3 with the same pressure and volume, the garden hose illustration can also explain the volume change as well.
I had the same problem appear after 3 years of use. I changed the hose (found on eBay, Chinese knock-off, brushed nickel sleeve) which gave up after 2 months. I think the problem is with the handle, giving too much back pressure. No hose will with stand that much pressure for too long. I changed the handle yesterday.
patmac make sure the clear hose is a overflow first. then make sure all connections are correct,sounds like an areator problem,some after market shower heads don't come with one you can purchase one at your local plumbing store.
