How big is the filling hole? I'm wondering if I can fit my shower head in it. We're trying to capture as much water as we can!

The filling hole is not too big. It's 2 1/4 inches in diameter, smaller than many watering cans with this capacity. The larger handle swivels, which is very helpful for carrying the can & for some watering positions. It also easily swivels out of the way for filling. The smaller hole allows for more water to stay in the can & not slosh out when moving around with it. I am very happy with the watering can, but your shower head may not fit. Measure & see.

The opening is 2.5 inches but could be easily cut to 3 inches. It is a quality watering can and very light weight.

2-1/2" .... I just went and measured it for you. It is a great can. Hope this helps.

How large is the screen to collect water? Does it cover the whole opening. If not, what is the size?

Surprisingly it holds a lot of water. Depends on how many people are using it but we are 3 and only need to fill and empty it every 2 to 3 days

I have too much water flow. I had to attach a shut-off shower valve which can also be used to restrict water flow.

I would say it would probably cause the water to overflow. I have used with 7 ounces and it was close but would fit.

Yeah I don't think you can fully submerge it. I put mine in deep enough to where the filter slot on top isn't exposed to water and it has worked fine and also the water flowing out doesnt make noise when I do that. why do you want to fully submerge it for?

It will fit a water pik shower head. We've been very happy with flexibility & added length. Drawback is it does not fit water pik holder. It still sits in the holder, but not nice & tight & you can't aim the shower head as easily while in its holder as before. Overall for price & added length & flexibility (& seems durable), we think it's a good value replacement.

Thanks for your reply. My main concern was restriction to water flow due to the valve mechanism. Another reply specified that the restriction at the valve was about 5/8 inch which is larger than the one I viewed at Menard's.

hard to answer... mine had a hole in it so it filled with water and was unable to clear all of the moisture.

I would recommend something bigger unless you have a stall shower. This covers less than half of a full size shower. Something with more texture on the top would be better for your situation.

Its an oval opening and it is 7" at its widest front to back and side to side, I really like mine, but you do have to clean it regularly, and you really should buy a regulator to cut the water pressure down, I have a regulator on mine and its going on 2 years old. I dont believe it would last very long if you hook it up to house water pressure.

The only time mine has overflowed was when the filter needed changing cause it was gunky & the water could not flow through it.Check your filter & also make sure that when the filter is put in, that the ROUNDED area goes down. Hope this helps!

Will there be any water contact? They can fit into any 5-6 inch holes they prefer the 5 inch holes though. I had an existing 6inch and it was challenging to get it in

The hole where the water comes out of mine is 1.5" ,the faucet.its a snug fit but has loosen a bit with use. It gets used 2 or 3 x's a day. It should but if yours the shower thing is attached to the spout ,the thing that pulls up to stop water from draining out it will not work. I measured the end that attaches its hole is 2" & gets smaller as you go in. Not sure if this helps. I love this one! The old one wasnt even close to this one. We can turn the water on pretty strong not like the old one.

It's in the head, although I wouldn't apply to much water pressure to it. Better use the shower faucet.

I did not even use mine because it was way too thin for how deep and how much water mine held. I believe it depends on how deep it is....mine was 58 inches high....
