We already have a hand shower, so can we attach it to this? We dont want to order the one with a hand shower. thanks

I had a regular shower head to which I added a hand shower years ago. The hand shower came with a switch for regular shower or hand held depending on the lever. A piece of white nylon thin rope was tied to the flexible hand shower hose and the shower curtain rod to relieve stress. The filter was added between the original pipe coming out of the wall and the lever that diverts the water to either the regular shower or hand held. IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE WATER!

We already had a hand held shower head too prior to buying this shower filter. We hooked the Aquasana up and then attached our hand held shower head and it works just fine.

There are different shower filters you can order. Some come with shower attachment, some with shower head and some (like I ordered) that are just the filter only. Check over the order list on Amazon.

It just goes in between the pipe and the normal shower head so anything that would screw into the pipe would work. The only thing that might be a problem is having the bottom of the filter possibly being in the way of the flexible hose if you want to aim the shower down past a certain point. The hose might be being pushed against the bottom of the filter. Otherwise you should have no problem using the hand shower. Hope this helps.

We have two filters. One is connected to an existing hand shower and the is not. The fittings on the filter are standard pipe fittings so it should work.

Yes, we did that originally, and it worked well. When we ordered a filter replacement, the shower head and filter was less money than just the filter, so we ordered that. It works well, too.

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.

We do have a handheld shower on ours. We didn't install it. A plumber did. So I don't know exactly how he did it, but he took the original shower head off and put the handheld hooked up at the top. We can hold it or leave it alone as the shower head. So we still have the downward part for winter drainage.

Don't know, my shower has shower massage with hose. Plus I placed unit inside shower to wash dog. If not to messy. Do not have dog anymore, so donated bath to dog kennel. You can add hose to 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.

You can attach to a standard shower head. Do not install on kitchen/toilet.

Yes, any hand held that fits a normal shower will fit this unit. I put a $15.00 one on from Ace last weekend.

No, it attaches to your shower outlet. I didn't use that part, but installed it on an adjustable bar that walk already in our shower using the fitting from an older hand shower.

Had it installed during a bathroom renovation by a plumber. For it to work I needed to order the appropriate diverter valve as listed for this model. You would need to be able to switch between shower head and hand held shower. That's the way I understood it. It was installed and works great.

Hi Kenzo, shower heads installed directly to your shower pipe are always going to be stronger than hand helds. It won't be a significant amount to the shower head but you'll be running water through a long hose before it gets to the trigger so it will not be as strong as the fixed shower head. Hope that helps. :)

Hi, I bought this faucet for a bathtub that had no shower head at all. I doubt that it would work very well in tandem with a shower head. It would split the water flow and result in low pressure on the hand held shower and from the regular shower head. At least I think that's what would happen.

It depends. The weight of the shower head may require some wall work for proper bracing. Also id your current shower head isn't connected right at the wall, but rather inside of it, you might need a connection piece. Any parts needed are cheap, but if you need wall work that's a different story.

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.

No. It works good on a hand sink or kitchen sink if you do not continually run the water. Not large enough to have a shower connected to it unless you like cold showers.

in researching this product, I read one review that this could be done but it was a bit complicated. You may want to look at the drive website for reviews. We turned it with the back to the shower and got a hand held shower control. It worked fine. Good luck.!

I think so. I never used it because my shower is not a hand held one. If I hooked that up the water would be facing the wall.

Surprisingly YES. We've tried several different hand held showers and this one is by far the most satisfactory. Hope you have as favorable a result as we have.

No, it is not possible to put a shower in with these taps. It would have to be made for it and they are not as they do not have an on/off mechanism for the shower.
