How would one install this filter in a system that has a hand shower, not one fixed in the wall?

Good question and I am glad to answer and be part of the Amazon Community. What I did with mine, because I had the SAME situation, is that I installed it BEFORE the shower unit and it works great. Of course dont pull.... or handle the shower head rough after installation and use PLENTY (like 5 times around) of plumbers tape. This is a great product provided by the BEST selling marketplace on EARTH ! AMAZON !!!

It installs in the same place--right where the faucet comes out of the wall, then the hand held part screws into that. Works great

I have a hand held shower too, but there is a pipe that comes from the wall. I unscrewed the hand held shower head from the pipe in the wall and just screwed in the Rainshowe'r filter and then screwed in the hand held shower to the filter.. it was very easy.. and I am a woman and did this myself..

It's pretty much the same. I installed it into my RV which had a hand held shower; basically the shower head unscrewed & you screw this in to the hose & the shower head onto the other side & you're done. Just be sure to use teflon tape so that there are no leaks. It's very easy.

It's pretty easy actually. You screw the filter onto the pipe coming from the wall, then screw the hand shower hose onto the filter. I recommend using pipe tape on the threads of the pipe to prevent leaks. Also, if water squirts out of the housing and the filter is screwed together correctly, it could mean that your water pressure is too high. You can still use it, just don't turn the water on full blast or you will eventually crack the housing. My last filter housing lasted about 2 1/2 years before my water pressure cracked it.

I can't see why you couldn't. One part of the filter attaches to the shower pipe coming out of the wall. Then you would attach the end of the hand held shower head to the front part of the water filter.

There is a fan in the unit. If you want to use a filter, it would have to be custom made, and attached to the backside of the unit.

you could install this filter in the horizontal, but all of the water will pour out of the canister when you change the filter.

Remove by pull filter out of the side clean with soap dry it then install.Look at the front the filter is on the right side

No. You will need to put a couple of elbows in your vertical line to accommodate the filter In a vertical position.

I think you can try installing it yourself, but I had some people install it for me while they were doing work on my house. All I know is that it's probably only 2-4 screws that you need to drill into the wall, but you need to be careful of what you are tiling through. If you look at the two round pieces that are on the wall, I believe the top one just mounts over your shower head outlet and the bottom one needs to be mounted below to support the weight of the entire system. It's made of heavy chrome, so you can't just stick it on the wall. It's a pretty heavy duty piece of metal. Good luck!

You would need to have a two-way water diverter to connect to a hand held shower spray. One outlet of the diverter goes to the handheld and the other outlet goes to the extended arm with the help of a coupling.

I'm pretty sure that you can replace the filter and do not have to replace the whole shower head. Look for filters for the Sprite HO-WH-M on Amazon.

It should be. Filter should be fitted between shower head hose and pipe coming out of wall where shower head is usually screwed on. As in picture of product, instead of attaching shower head attach the hose for handheld. Just tighten both threaded parts tight with Teflon tape so they won't leak or spin. I used channel lock pliers with a rag so I would not scratch fittings.

Unfortunately no you must replace the bottom filter and plastic(one piece).the top piece of plastic connected to the shower head and the water source pipe may be reused.

it is very easy to install all you need is an adjustable open end ranch and some Teflon tape ( might not be necessary if your current shower does not leak) and you unscrew the current shower replace it with the filter system ( securing the filter can be done with your hands). take less then 5 mins to install.

Not sure what a "shower filter" is, but this screws right into the shower "outlet," so if a fliter of some type were screwed into the outlet pipe and had the same threading, then it could work, no?

As far as I know, yes. :)Shower heads normally connect to a 1/2-inch threaded shower pipe (or "arm" as it is often called). The filter acts as a "go between" from your existing shower arm and your shower head. So, if you have standard plumbing and shower head, it should work just fine.(I would even think that it would work for a hand-held shower head assuming that the hose attaches to a standard shower arm that extends from the wall.)Good luck!

The shower arm and the filter body both have NPT threads. These are both tapered threads. In order for the filter to stop spinning, the nut has to be deep enough into the threads of the shower arm. Otherwise the nut will allow the filter body to keep spinning. Just hold the filter body in the position that you want it and tighten the nut until the filter body doesn't spin any more. Then tighten it a little more so that the threads seal against each other. It is a good idea to use teflon tape on the threads of the shower arm to make sure the threads seal properly and so that you can remove it later if you need to. This is not a job for tightening the nut by hand. You may want to use two pairs of pliers; one pair to hold the shower arm and the other one to turn the nut so that the shower arm doesn't turn inside the wall and so you can get the proper tightness. I hope this helps.

I can see no reason why y'all can not attach a different shower head to the filter arm as the unit just screws on and off. My only concern would be that can the filter arm bear the weight of a larger shower head?

Attaches to existing shower water source. You will need to drill two holes, need a special drill if its a tiled shower, find a stud and use screws that go 1 inch into stud.
