Can you use your own shower head (not the one included) with this filter?

Yes - it attaches right below. I called the company to verify my showerhead would work with the filter before I bought it.

Yes, you can use another head. I have a hand shower hooked to mine. It's a universal size.

I didnt try it, but the one that comes with the package is a good shower head, adjustable spray. Great filter. Really makes a difference in the condition of the water. Saves my hair!!

Yes you can as long as the threads are the same. The Showerwise head unscrews after the filter assembly. I unscrew the head and thread on a 6' flexible hose and shower head to clean with.

You should be able to. I ordered just the filter with the idea of attaching a large "rain" style head to it. However, because of the angle of the outlet, you can only use smaller shower heads. Attaching a hose from a handheld should work though.

Yes, it is the filter only. You put your own shower head on it. I have a cable too and was able to use it just fine. :)

You can use as a direct replacement if you do not use the filter. If you do install the filter follow the instructions as to where to place in the flow connections.

Yes, the filter requires a showerhead. The filter goes between your water pipe and your showerhead. Usually, your existing showerhead works.

You do not need this if you only have one shower head. This is for multiple heads.

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.

No, you have threaded connectors that will attach to the filter body. However you will have a bit of a plumbing job in connecting your existing input, return and waste water lines to the unit itself.

Yes you can. It has a knob on the side of the main shower head cross bar that allows you to turn it to just the main shower head, just the smaller hand-held, or to the combination of both the main head and the hand held simultaneously.

Yes. You remove existing shower head, tread new filter on shower pipe, then tread existing shower head onto the filter. Keep in mind that the shower head will be about 4" lower after installation.

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.

Yes it is the filter...you have to buy the complete Kit if you want the shower head part as well...hope this was helpful :)

This filter comes with clear installation instructions. All shower heads come with standard fitment threads so this should not be an impediment. My install was straight forward. Teflon tape to seal the threads I recommend.

Teflon tape, Channel locks or adjustable wrench. Twist off bottom of filter and remove seal tape (if present), reassemble, HAND TIGHT ONLY! Remove shower head from pipe protuding from wall. Wrap pipe with one complete turn of Teflon. Attach inlet of filter to pipe. Attach shower head to outlet of filter. Done. AGAIN: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN ANY FITTINGS. It will break. If you are replacing an existing filter, I recommend keeping the top off of the old one for a spare, assuming it is not cracked or broken in anyway. Good Luck!

No, it does not come with it. You can see this url: http://www.omicaorganics.com/store/shower-filter/omica-shower-filter.htmlNOTE: Because shower heads are a personal choice, and come in many styles, sizes, and types, we do not include a shower head with our filter.

This is a replacement filter only. To use it you need to have the New Wave Shower Filter System. It's less than $30 dollars on Amazon. It comes with a filter and is easy to install. You just cover the threads with the supplied plumber's tape and screw in to your shower opening. You can use the filter you just bought the following year. I love this shower system for getting chlorine out.

Yes - I didn't use the shower head that came with it - used a larger one - it has a standard fitting for any shower head.
