How to Install a Shower Head

No Plumber Needed

I was able to install this shower head all by myself! And believe me, I am NOT the plumber. — Dawn from San Diego, CA

Installing a replacement Waterpik® shower head takes only a few minutes. The directions can differ slightly depending on the model, but the basic steps are as follows:

1. Remove the current shower head. 2. Clean the threads on the shower pipe and add pipe tape if necessary. (Your instruction manual will indicate if this is necessary.) 3. Thread the new shower head onto the shower pipe.

Always refer to your installation manual for the specific requirements of your model. Below you will find links to a variety of instruction manuals for Waterpik® shower heads.
