Can just the head be attached to existing hose? Just had bathroom remodeled and HATE the shower head designer chose. Want to keep what works.

The hose detaches from the head at the base of the head. The hose has the standard female connector. Hope this helps.

Had the same thought myself, but shower head didn't fit properly in existing bracket. This shower head had a much smaller size at the bottom, and wobbled in my larger bracket.

Remove the current shower head and attach the hose in it's place. Be sure to use Teflon tape on the joint.

Not really, if you have strong hands. You might need tools to take off the previous shower head.

A standard shower head pipe or arm works fine. That is what I used, did not have to replace the existing one, and the top of the head has a nice swivel on it.

You can buy adapters for the shower head that have a second nozzle that is capped, or you can attach a hose to it. There is a lever to switch it from regular shower to attached hose. Not real hard. I purchased one at Lowes hardware. Ask someone in plumbing, and they will direct you right to it.

Can you use a shower head with hose with this? I am trying but the water stream is just way too high and hits the back of the shower....any suggestions? Can you install iwater upside down or does that just make the water go everywhere?

as long as you already have the water pipe coming into the shower-it just screws on to the pipe-but you will need a piece of Teflon tape between the pipe and shower head connection. Mine is great I love it and the fact that it has different settings are really handy.

Just screw it into the existing shower hose. The extra attachment is for use with an enema bag.

You can try to remove the restrictors that sit at the opening of where the hose connects to, but you have to be careful not to crack or break the heads. I bought this for a friend who has incredible strong water pressure in her home and it was too much, so this helped to make taking a shower more comfortable for her.

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.

this is just the head you still need the hose. I edited my current head just for this one!

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.

Turn the lever on the shower head just above where the hose goes into the shower head. Will go from shower head to both to hose only. If it doesn't work the hose may have something blocking it. I think the hose will unscrew from the shower head. Not sure.

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.

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.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe you'll need to buy the Kohler hose and mount. Even if the hose would connect with the shower head, I'm pretty sure it would not fit properly in the holder. But, you will very much like the Kohler mount. It had a trigger release to make it easy to adjust the height and, once in place, it is solid. My wife and I bought the Kohler head beause of he mount, not the other way around. However, the head is very nicely designed.

No. But you could just get a restrictor to install behind your existing shower head.
