Quick answer
For the Filtered Handheld Shower, confirm your hose connection matches, then fit it to the hose by hand. For the Inline Shower Filter, unscrew your shower head, wrap the arm’s threads with the included tape, hand-tighten the filter onto the arm, then screw your head onto the filter and check for leaks.
Before you start
- The connection. The handheld connects to a compatible shower hose; the inline filter fits a standard 1/2" shower arm.
- The arm. Ball-joint or short-elbow arms need a threaded adapter for the inline filter.
- The old head. If it won’t come off by hand, or the arm looks damaged, don’t force it. A plumber can help.
How do you install the Filtered Handheld Shower?
- Confirm your shower hose connection matches the shower head.
- Remove your current shower head and fit this one to the hose by hand.
- Use it on its own, or fit one of the two brush attachments.
It installs without tools on a compatible hose. Follow the instructions supplied with the product.
How do you install the Inline Shower Filter?
- Unscrew your current shower head from the arm.
- Wrap the arm’s threads with the included tape.
- Hand-tighten the filter onto the arm until snug.
- Screw your shower head onto the filter and check for leaks.
Two mistakes to avoid
- Overtightening. Hand-tighten only; overtightening can damage the seal.
- Skimping on tape. Use enough thread tape at the threads to prevent small leaks.
Questions, answered
Do I need a plumber?
Not for a compatible hose or a standard 1/2" arm: both install by hand. If the old head is stuck or your plumbing is non-standard, a plumber can help.
Will the inline filter fit my shower?
It fits standard 1/2" shower arms. Ball-joint or short-elbow arms need a threaded adapter.
Why does the handheld rattle?
With no brush attachment fitted, the internal magnet may rattle slightly. This is normal and stops once an attachment is on.
