Changing your shower head is one of the quickest and easiest ways to make your bathing experience more enjoyable. It is amazing the difference that water pressure can make with a quality shower head. You can go from a mediocre shower experience to a truly relaxing experience that will help you unwind after a long day. Check out the following steps for how to change your shower head to create a soothing, comforting environment in your shower!

A few things to consider:

–  Do you have a wall-mounted faucet or a ceiling faucet?

–  Would you like to replace your current system to a self controlling handle that is connected to a line of tubing so you can direct the shower head wherever you would like?

–  Check out your water pressure. Make sure your water pressure is adequate for the type of shower head you are pursuing. If the water pressure is too low and you would like to purchase a rain shower head, it may be quite frustrating to have very little pressure as you attempt to wash your hair.

The five steps to change your shower head:

1. Turn off the water supply.

2. Remove the previously installed shower head and remove any excess dirt or debris around the attachment site.

3. Apply the Teflon tape clockwise around the attachment site to provide a cushion to prevent leaks. Applying the tape clockwise keeps it from coming undone as you tighten the new shower head. The Teflon tape seals the connection between the wall and the shower head to prevent leaks.

4. Follow the instructions for the new shower head and attach it to the wall.

5. Point the head away from you and turn on the water. As the water flows into the bath, make sure there are no leaks. Stand back and gaze at your completed project! After that, jump in the shower and get clean because you probably smell bad after your hard work!
