Can the hand shower be replaced with larger handheld massage-type shower head?

Yes and no. Anything's possible with plumbing fittings, but the unit is designed (and I assume pressurized) for that head, plus it fits the holder. You can make a larger head irk, but it would be clunky. The hand-held head actually provides a lot of pressure even though it looks like an afterthought.

Should work with any half inch conector. I ran a complete other shower head for a dual head shower sort of thing. Worked great.

I have not tried to do this, but it does look possible. The hose appears to be the same size as any hand held shower head. However, the holder attached to the main unit that holds the head is small and may not hold most shower heads. You can solve this by purchasing a shower head holder that mounts separately.

Not really sure, but the hand held sprayer is very powerful, not sure why you would want to replace it?

I got a hand held shower attachment for mine. The diverter is actually for the shower ring on the clawfoot tub. I'm sure if you wanted to plug it off you can find find one at the hardware store.

I had a regular shower head to which I added a hand shower years ago. The hand shower came with a switch for regular shower or hand held depending on the lever. A piece of white nylon thin rope was tied to the flexible hand shower hose and the shower curtain rod to relieve stress. The filter was added between the original pipe coming out of the wall and the lever that diverts the water to either the regular shower or hand held. IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE WATER!

I don't know for a fact, but the shower head is removable, and it seems that a different head of your choice can be installed.I will say that i am very pleased with the shower head that is supplied.Hope this helps, Dan.

Yes, you can use any handheld shower head and you can use any shower head with this setup.I replaced my shower head with a Delta Faucet 75152 Water Amplifying Adjustable Shower head.

What Kyle and Mun said, usually ceiling mounted shower heads are larger diameter as well. This is probably not what you want for a ceiling application.

I had no problem installing the handheld shower. The pipe for the shower water source is standard and required no modification.

I have a longer (~14") angled pipe at the shower head, and this seems to give quite a bit when removing/replacing the handheld wand. I have found the secret of removal to be placing my thumb on the outer ring while pulling the lower part of the wand outward. So, I push with that thumb while pulling the wand out & up slightly. I hope it works for you!

Yes - there is a valve at the base next to the wall that has 3 position - You can switch it from Shower head only to hand held only or both..

After installing this fitting, I also installed a handheld and it fits into the slot well. This is a universal fitting so it should work with any handheld. There is a lever handle at the side of the fitting which will allow you to use your primary fixed shower head, the handheld still seated in the fitting or both simultaneously. I am very pleased to have found this fitting, it is practical and useful.

yes it can be removed. also hand held shower also adjustable. There is not much pressure on hand held shower head. I hope this will help you make your decision.

You can set it halfway but the flow is seriously constricted in that position, so, NO, you cannot use both the shower head and hand held at the same time

It just goes in between the pipe and the normal shower head so anything that would screw into the pipe would work. The only thing that might be a problem is having the bottom of the filter possibly being in the way of the flexible hose if you want to aim the shower down past a certain point. The hose might be being pushed against the bottom of the filter. Otherwise you should have no problem using the hand shower. Hope this helps.

Uncertain, but the unit connects BEFORE the shower head, so it seems to me you would simply unscrew the handheld, screw the unit in, then screw the handheld into the unit.

There is a manual valve that can be positioned such that water flows out both the showerhead and the handheld device but there is only one water line so preassure is deminished if operated in this manner. I do not believe that the unit is designed to be operated in this manner but it could be if one was satisfied with the volume of water flowing from the devices.

I think you may have just answered your own question - perhaps you should clarify with your landlord if you can do a shower head modification. The plumbing set up of this shower head is essentially the same as what your regular shower head is. That is, the handheld feature of this does not change how the shower head is connected to the plumbing. Installation is as simple as removing the old shower head (unscrewing it) and screwing on the new shower head.

Not that I have heard. Most bathroom fixtures are standard size. I had no problem installing this shower head on my existing shower. It took less than five minutes.
