Install A Customizable Shower Head

July 23, 2014 by Amy 2 Comments

I recently went to a DIY conference called Haven.  It is a big gathering of DIY enthusiasts (mostly bloggers) that gather together and learn tips and tricks for DIY projects.  Besides bloggers and DIY enthusiasts there are vendors, who show off and teach how to use their products.  Sometimes the vendors give away products to try.  WaterPik was at this conference showing off their cool shower heads and they gave away this cool Spray Shaper shower head.

I installed this shower head in my shower within minutes.  I was very surprised at how easy the installation was.

Tools Needed:

  • Adjustable wrench
  • Rag
  • Teflon Tape (optional)

My original shower head was a standard head, nothing special.

Thread the pivot ball onto the threads of the water pipe (righty tighty), until the pivot ball is hand tight.

Place the shower head onto the pivot ball and tighten the large nut onto the shower head, until hand tight.  Adjust the placement of the shower head so it’s straight, and make sure the large nut is still tight.  And that’s it, you’re done – So Easy!

This shower head is nice, it’s a fully customizable showering experience.  There are 6 settings with the big gray knob.  The outer wings rotate up and down and in and out.  So you can create a tighter spray or a wide spray.

If you’re in the market for a shower head, this is a good one.  I noticed that WaterPik offers coupons and rebates, definitely something to look for.
