Fitting a shower head filter is a straightforward DIY project you can complete in minutes. Here's how to do it:
-
Remove Your Existing Shower Head: Unscrew your current shower head from the shower arm by turning it counter-clockwise.
-
Apply Teflon Tape: Wrap the threads of the shower arm with the Teflon tape that came with your new shower filter. This creates a watertight seal. Usually, 3-5 wraps are sufficient.
-
Attach the Shower Filter: Twist the shower filter onto the shower arm, tightening it firmly by hand. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the filter or shower arm.
-
Attach the Shower Head to the Filter: Screw your shower head onto the opposite end of the shower filter, again tightening firmly by hand.
-
Test for Leaks: Turn on the shower and check for any leaks at the connection points. If you find leaks, tighten the connections a bit more. If leaks persist, you might need to add more Teflon tape.
That's it! Your shower head filter is installed. You can now enjoy filtered water during your showers.
