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.

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).
yes. love posts that are within my level of competence.
Excellent work with the teflon tape.
why is this subreddit called dull mens club? the average post is just upkeep or quality of life stuff, it doenst make you fellas dull.
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.
Can you share the seller’s company name?
Damn that looks good. I need to get a new one too
I was looking at a speakman, but then remembered there are restrictors in the heads. Remover my showerhead, removed two restrictors and cleaned it out with CLR. It feels like it will remove your skin at certain temps. Did not upgrade yet.
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!
Soak them I an acidic solution to get rid of the calcium build up, if that's a problem.
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.
