Old showerhead always came out with little pressure and unevenly. Cleaning didn’t help much so I looked for a new one. I found a seller that manufactured locally and specialized in showerheads. Much better than the attractive plastic junk from the box stores.
It was an easy change and it makes a big difference.
Tried to replace the showerhead some time ago. Thing was completely stuck. After using plenty of chemicals and tools I managed to remove the head, including the part of the pipe where the thread is/was. So now I need to replace the special pipe of the shower cabine which is specific for this one model of shower cabine and not something stores have in stock.
Shower heads last a long time, but at some point you need a new one.
And I must say, your asscrack has never looked cleaner!
Damn that looks good. I need to get a new one too
yes. love posts that are within my level of competence.
So, one, did you remove the flow restrictor? If you’re into that sort of thing. I don’t begrudge anyone not removing them, I’m fortunate to live somewhere pretty wet. But I also can’t stand going to stay somewhere, hotel or whatever, and the water pressure is low. I feel like I can’t rinse off properly without a good blast.
And so plumbing is fun because you can add stuff too. If you’re into it, you can get a valve and wand attachment and make your own custom setup.
Another idea I’ve toyed with is basically an on/off valve to preserve water while you’re soaking up. Can’t go turning off the shower because it’ll mess with your perfectly set temperature, but if you have a separate valve for turning the water off at the showerhead you can maintain that temp.
Great work OP. I’ll think about you the next time I shower.
Lol no flow restrictor that I know of, just bad pressure in this part of the house. This little showerhead works to compensate pretty well though. I did install one on the other shower a while back with wand attachment and shutoff, but the plastic fittings don’t hold up well. It seems like the popular brands are all built for failure.

Holy hell, I wish! The thought honestly brings a tear to my eye.
Best we have in my area is cheap ass ikea or whatever the hell home depot/canadian tire/walmart is selling (all the same thing).
I was curious about their location so I asked their chatbot and it told me this. lol. So, I don’t know, man.
;-;
Excellent work with the teflon tape.
Can you share the seller’s company name?
How do you know they’re manufactured locally? I can’t seem to find any info on where they’re located on their site
Unfortunately they’re manufactured in China, claiming “design and testing” in the US (San Diego from what I can gather).
Here’s an actual US manufacturer (Huntington Beach, CA)
OP could be chinese.
I have one of these. You can buy hammerhead showerheads all over the US but maybe they are local to them
