[@Self-care-for-the-spirit]

Thank you so much. It only took a few minutes and you gave me the courage to do it. At the hardware store they told me there was no guarantee if a plumber did not install it and that would have cost a bundle. Empowerment comes through sharing knowledge!

[@anireseegam6128]

This was excellent. You get straight to the point. Clear and simple, no unnecessary chatter. This helps me a lot.

[@sophiewhitehouse6718]

Thank you, I was able to upgrade my shower head to a lovely handheld one, all by myself thanks to you!!

[@ttephi3667]

Sorry to ask but I would like to provide a handheld shower for my elderly parents but I would have to do it myself (woman - no experience) - do you think I could do that? If you have any tips, I would really appreciate it. Aussie here.

[@melaniethompson4645]

I’m going to do the same this weekend

[@cferart]

[@vin33758]

Thank you so much. Straight to the point and you made it look easy.

[@revbharvey5046]

Thanks Bill. I wasn't sure if I needed to completely remove the old tape. Question answered. 😊

[@billshowto]

You’re very welcome 👍👍👍

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

Probably good idea for people to remember that he's using pink PTFE tape. If you're using the white stuff you need wayyyyyy more tape on the thread as it's thinner than the pink tape.

[@jenniferblack6825]

Thanks, this was helpful when I went to bunnings.

[@AJ.JR.]

Thank you so much ! Eveything I need to know in under 5 minutes ! Super helpful Awsome video 👏🏻🏆 Thank you !

[@billshowto]

👍👍👍

[@KingBrew187]

Perfect vid. Clear and in focus with appropriate distance of camera to object, simple but all inclusive informative instructions. Oh and straight to the point with no bs like telling us how to open the packet and also what’s inside the packet when obviously we can see that already haha. I mean I’d have got it by myself obviously as it’s just a simple untighten and then tighten but being able to know for sure first helped. Especially the direction to put the tape on as that I did not know 👌

[@Justeezyy]

thanks legend! our new house has a brand new showerhead 👍🏽

[@sallywheeler4555]

Thank you so much Bill.i found your video a great help.i used my old shower plate as the new one was a different design and was not compatible with connections.you gave me the confidence.

[@KimBell93Take2]

Thanks mate!!!

[@bec9696]

Hi Bill, before I do some irreversible damage attempting, is it possible to swap a bath tap, without tap mixers, to a handheld shower hose? I love my baths, but I need to wash my hair, too.

[@Gezarie07]

Thank you!

[@micaelaharradine8043]

Hey mate any chance you can give tips on how to fix it when I can only get the mount to this position when installing the new head

[@mickbush2660]

Gday mate, love your stuff. Got a problem. When using shower , there’s a loud hissing noise but the more I turn the water on the less sound it makes but I don’t want to waste that much water. Got a solution and maybe a vid on how to fix. Cheers brother.

[@jacksunny2002]

Great video. I have the same shower but want to convert to an handheld one. Would be great if you could show us how to covert one.

[@supastevo31]

Thanks mate

[@michikomyers8545]

Thank you!!! 🙏

[@enimsajH4]

I have that exact shower head and I hate it. If I buy a different one can i install any other type?

[@MeMe-le6iv]

Hi do you have to shut off the water in the whole house first?

[@samarat1]

Good video.

[@rafac13]

does the "male" pipe from the wall fixed? i have the same showerhead "female" but I bought a new one that is male. not sure what to do

[@sna-szn2655]

Hey Bill what would I do if the shower arm keeps falling forward? Love the video

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Nice 👌👍❤️👏🌹🌷🌷

[@bellabrady8881]

Do you need to shut water off first. Also how do you flush pipes before installing a new shower head?

[@user-gs4te4qt8d]

Should I give it a go I'm worried I might make things worse

[@kelsihurley802]

My cover plate is stuck on the wall, I can’t remove it. I don’t understand how I’m meant to remove it? It’s so old and gross and rusty so I really want to remove it…

[@pandaboy6129]

W video

[@verityowens9638]

Great ! You make it look easy. Do I need to turn the water off?

[@billshowto]

No as the water is switched off at the taps👍

[@SkellySlims]

do I need to turn water main off first

[@alysondean7101]

Do you turn water off at the mains first Bill?

[@billshowto]

Not while replacing a shower head. The water is shut off at the taps 👍

[@alysondean7101]

@@billshowto Thank you! With your simple instructions I installed a new shower head! Now to try some other stuff.....

[@lidiamalkic]

Hello Bill - thank you for the video, but one small thing, do we switch the main off? I gather not, coz you tested the taps right away?

[@billshowto]

Hi, you don’t need to shut off the water when replacing a shower head as the water is shut off with the taps 👍

[@lidiamalkic]

Billshowto your a champ, answered so fast 🙏👍👏👏👏👑

[@lidiamalkic]

Billshowto also, you are so hot!!! -(I am a granny, I should know🤪😁

[@user-ee4sk6om5y]

Hey we have the same shower head and want to replace it to a totally different shower head. Do I need a plumber for that? Or can it fit onto the same attachment that’s already installed

[@billshowto]

I have a video on how to do this👍

[@user-ee4sk6om5y]

@@billshowto ohhh I will try to find it thanks buddy

[@Altiar253]

Do you have to turn the water off at the main??

[@reeelizabeth6986]

How do i fix the water pressure in the shower? I used to have strong water pressure but now its very weak.

[@billshowto]

I have a video on how to fix that also👍

[@meganpratt636]

How did you get the shower head off from the swivel bracket

[@karamymassageclinic]

Mate thank you so much for this video!!

[@tangofish1217]

Great video - is there a video for a show wheats with a hose

[@robertl5202]

Hey Bill, greats vids keep it up. Could you do a video on the taps aswell in the shower ? I have the same set up so I’d be interested to see how easy it is. Cheers !

[@billshowto]

no problem 👍

[@jagwarz]

Should caulking be used around it?

[@kristyzolles9142]

Do you have to put the same head on?

[@SuperSpecialty]

Nuclear submarines only allow a 1-1/4 turn of Teflon tape. Good for their use, shouldn’t it be good enough for the shower?

[@livelovelarfalways8840]

Do you have to turn off water supply?

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

Not for a shower... If the taps are off, you're good to go. You'll get a little wet from the water that's still in the shower head and pipe but that's it.

[@MrEelcoheijm]

👌👍

[@michaelhuynh7324]

Hey mate quick question, I've got a swivel showerhead (similar to the one in your video where you replaced a hand-held shower head), would this shower head be able to fit into that one no worries?

[@billshowto]

Hi, yes it will fit 👍

[@jowcolby]

How to replace it to a detachable shower head?

[@chrisacworth]

Having trubble taking the old one off and putting the new one on

[@adampascoe2864]

So you don’t have to turn the water off at the main to replace shower heads or basin/kitchen spouts?

[@billshowto]

That’s correct, as long as the taps are off you don’t need to turn of the main water supply 👍

[@adampascoe2864]

Billshowto cheers Legend. Keep up the great content.
