It’s easy! Instructions for how to install a showerhead, with video

by Libba on February 13, 2008

If you’ve been considering installing a water-saving showerhead, but are worried that it’s too hard or may require the help of a plumber, I’ve got great news for you! It’s really simple and takes less than 10 minutes to install.

If I can do it by myself, I know you can, too!

Ok, so first your have to remove your existing showerhead. Get a rag and a pair of pliers or a wrench and unscrew your showerhead. This is the hardest part of the project, so hang in there, it gets much easier.

Once your old showerhead is off, you need to wrap the pipe with plumbing tape. Most showerheads these days come with a supple of it, but if not, it’s easy to find at any hardware store.

Wrap this tape tightly around the pipe in a clockwise motion along the thread. This prevent water from seeping out and rusting the pipe and your showerhead together.

I went a little crazy with my tape and wrapped it until I was out of tape, but once around the whole thread is fine. Pull it tightly and it will rip.

Then, simply screw on your new, water-saving showerhead, and you’re done! It’s that easy. Seriously, get going and start saving water and energy today by purchasing and installing your own water-saving showerhead.
