I have a problem.
I just recently switched apartments. My lease is not quite up on my previous apartment so I still have access. My new apartment is swell but it is lacking in one department: the shower. My old apartment shower nozzle was extremely high velocity. If I stood too close it would peel the skin right off of my naked limbs. The shower nozzle in my new apartment is not quite up to par. It takes seemingly an eternity to rinse off.
Quick Question - Is it worth it to switch shower heads in the apartments? Will that do the trick? Or is it a matter of not enough water pressure in my new apartment to begin with?

Use to be that pretty much all shower heads were the same, they let out the same water as the pressure would allow. Now in a time of water conservation there are basically two that are available, 1) a shower head that is like old and 2) a shower head that adjusts to the amount of pressure it has. They are easy to switch in and out that's when you go and buy one they don't have sizes. Good Luck!

its a combination of a great shower head design and really great water pressure..take the head off of the new shower and see what kind of flow you have going for you...(hopefully its got the flow of a Clydsdale during a parade) then go to the old place and swap the heads..............if the water stream from the new shower has the pressure like Hume Cronyn after an all night Bud Light night..........go buy your ass an industrial pressure washer..........should keep you sparkling clean.

That depends on the pressure involved, loki.

Kramer: I just took a bath, Jerry. A bath?
Jerry: No good?
Kramer: It's disgusting. I'm sitting there in a tepid pool of my own filth.
All kinds of microscopic parasites and organisms having sex all around me.
Jerry: Well, you used to sit in that hot tub?
Kramer: Jerry, that was superheated water, nothing could live in that.

Jerry's apartment. Kramer walks in, his trademark 'high hair' is flat.
Kramer: Jerry? Jerry!
Jerry walks in from the back room, his hair is also flat.
Kramer: Wha, you too?
Jerry: Yeah!
Kramer: These showers are horrible. There's no pressure, I can't get the
shampoo out of my hair.
Jerry: Me either.
Kramer: If I don't have a good shower I am not myself. I feel weak and
ineffectual. I'm not Kramer.
Jerry: You? What about me? I got the Tonight Show tonight. I'm gonna have to
shower in the dressing room.
Kramer (leaving): Aw.
Jerry: Where are you going?
Kramer: I gotta find another shower.

I agree. The first thing you need to do is to check the master cylinder. Top off all the fluids and it might help to take the wheels off. inspect the brake pad to make sure you have enough of surface area left and reassemble the wheel.

Morty: Who is it?
Super: It's the super. We're installing new low-flow showerheads in all the
bathrooms.
Morty: Low flow? I don't like the sound of that.

Salesman: All right, I got everything here. I got the Cyclone F series, Hydra
Jet Flow, Stockholm Superstream, you name it.
Jerry: What do you recommend?
Salesman: What are you looking for?
Kramer: Power, man. Power.
Newman: Like Silkwood.
Kramer: That's for radiation.
Newman: That's right.
Kramer (pointing to the largest one): Now, what is this?
Salesman: That's the Commando 450, I don't sell that one. What about thi-
Kramer: Well that's what we want, the Commando 450.
Salesman, Nah, believe me. It's only used in the circus. For elephants.
Newman: We'll pay anything. We've got the (hands a wad of money to Kramer)
What about Jerry?
Kramer: He couldn't handle that, he's delicate.

That's right RB, here I not only get answers but also answers in the form of tried and exhausted insults, not the least of which includes half-baked wit and feeble attempts at sarcasm.

The showerhead can make a difference, however, if your building just has crap water pressure than it can only do so much. Try making the change, the worst that can happen is that it won't improve, but most likely you'll get better showerage no matter what the pressure is like.
