We have always used out own shower heads with this water filter. It should not be a problem. Just remember to use the teflon tape around the threads.

Not sure what your asking. It attaches to the piece where the water flows and your shower head is still separate. It doesn't hook directly to the shower head otherwise that would be pretty heavy so yeah it would not leak from your shower head at all.

Mine always leaked and we could never stop it. We tried plumber's tape,etc. We owned this for years and the top cracked the last time we tried to put a new filter in it. The top was always hard to unscrew.

One of the nice things about shower filters is that they screw on easily and use rubber washers at each connection like your outside hose. If you have a good grip you can do all this by hand without wrenches. Follow instructions exactly that they send you and you will have no trouble at all.Bill

I am using our own shower head, it leaked at first, but we worked on it a bit and it is fine now. Use the teflon tape.

No problems, If you already used shower heads with restricting disk. you can remove the water saving disk if you like.

It comes with all you'll need:hose,fitting to attach to the showerhead pipe when you remove the old showerhead.You may need pipe tape if you tighten it and it still leaks.I didn't.

My wife has asked the same question about the hand held. I have not looked into it yet but looks possible. The regular shower head can be change to any other shower head. The reason I got this unit was so I could install a rain shower head in the ceiling of shower. Rain shower head is not used much. Note: inside the shower head control valve is a small spring and pin that can come out and you may not see it. I did not see it till I installed this unit in 2nd. job.

No leak from mine I bought in July. Just be sure that the metal pipe coming out of the wall that the shower head attaches to has three "layers" or twists of Teflon tape on the threads. Also tighten all plastic hose connections to ensure it will not leak somewhere else.

I don't see why you couldn't but I can't recommend this shower head. There are much better ones out there.

It might be easier to install with the included head, but I used my own head with shower hose and it works fine. The fittings are standard size so it should work just as well with any shower head.

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.

I guess you could, but you would need a straight shower arm instead of the curved one that comes with it. Hope this helps.

That would depend on the water pressure in your home and not really the shower head itself. My mom (who I purchased it for) has no problem with water pressure. She makes it a point to tell me that she loves the shower head constantly!

I have purchased and set up three shower sprays so far and did not use too much Teflon tape in each one --don't understand why your hose is leaking. Check out your own installation again

Not sure why you would want to, but check your dimensions and make sure there won't be any clashes... Otherwise, just build your own custom piping and use any shower head you want.

The filter has to be in its own casing to hold the filter but no it does not have its own shower head. You already have that so you don't need to buy one. And this filter will stand up to hot water and that will not destroy it or render it useless. Its one of the very few that will. Consider it an inline filter. Good luck if you buy one. And buy several filters if you do buy them. It may be cheaper that way and they may last up to a year.

Yes, but there are four settings on the shower head. I just use the one with the least force and fill my outside tub. You will have to adjust the temperature and flow controls if you take the head off.

No. The shower head might be loose and should only be hand tightened, the water connection may be missing a rubber gasket similar to your garden hose and also should only be hand tightened.

Yes, i have my own massage shower head with a rating of 2.5 GPM, and it works great. Make sure that you use the sealing tape while fixing the head so that there is no leaking.

It really does not matter. You can hook one end to the outlet and the other end to shower head. Just make sure you tighten both so no leakes,
