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!

    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).
