Step 2: Install the New Hose

2.Test for leaks – Turn the water back on and check connections. If leaking, tighten slightly or reapply Teflon tape.
Pro Tips
1.Low water pressure? Some shower heads have flow restrictors—removing them can improve pressure. (Explore our high-pressure shower heads for a stronger spray!)
2.Prevent clogs – Soak the shower head in vinegar monthly to remove mineral buildup.
