Did anyone have problems with switching out their previous showerhead for this one? Can I assume I'll have no problem with fitting my shower threads?

No problems whatsoever- it's a universal fitting- unless you don't live in the US. You just unscrew your existing shower head, make sure the plumbers tape is OK, then screw on the new one. Done.

It's hard to answer two questions with a yes or no in the email I received. No to your first question and yes to your second question. It was very easy to install. I didn't even need that white thread tape.

I think we just unscrewed the shower head that was there and screwed this one on. I just looked and there seems to be some connect piece that you probably just put on after you take the old shower head off. Everything hangs form that one assembly.

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.

Sorry, our remodelling is taking longer than we thought it would when I ordered the showerhead and we have not yet installed it. I will post a review when we do.

My husband removed our old shower head and put this one on. I did not see him do it, but I do know we did not have to buy anything additional. Hope this helps! We really like it, by the way.

When I bought this, I only got the square set up (no pipe, you can see a faint line where it starts). It comes with the female (section to thread into) you know like any other shower head. So any pipe design you have ( I'm using a S pipe) should work. Hopefully this answers your question.

This showerhead has a standard female NPT (pipe thread) fitting (3/8" I belied, but I might have that wrong). Not familiar with any proprietary showerhead attachments, Delta or otherwise, so I would assume it will work for you as well, as long as you are replacing it at the plumbing stubout point, not just the head part of a larger assembly that might have proprietary parts.

I had a handy man do the installation for me. If you try it on your own, you will just need to unscrew the old shower head and screw on the new one. The little piece that came along with the shower head-it will go inside of the head. Sorry, but this is all the information i have right now. If you examine your old SH,and look at the new SH, you will find that it will be like putting a puzzle together. Let me add, even if there is just a pipe extending from your wall; the item can still be made to fit. You will just need another tube/pipe.

Have you tried rotating the pressure knob around to check if that makes a difference? Water flow is different at different settings. Also, does water leak out of the shower head?

I can't comment about the codes and whether it would pass inspection, I used it for a DIY outdoor shower. But I didn't have any problems finding fittings that matched the threading. I ended up not using the 1/2" to 3/4" adapter that it came with and instead just used a 1/2" pex to 3/4" male threaded adapter because it was easier for my particular needs.

Hello Matt,(1) if you have good water pressure in your existing shower head you will be a happy camper (2) There is a plastic flow control in the part that connects to the existing water nozzle that you may want to remove (I did because I prefer a heavier flow). Try it both ways and see which one you like better.

No, it is actually simple. Just unthread your old one and thread the Siroflex on the same pipe. Don't over tighten, being plastic it could crack. You will see a screen on the one end you can either leave it on or take it off. I took mine off to get a larger flow. And yes this shower head really improves the pressure.

The pipe is the same thread as "most" if not ALL typical shower extension pipes ....if this screws into your wall, then it will since it would be the same. "Most" (have to say most) showers have 1/2 inch NPT (national pipe thread) so its a matter of removing your current semi straight shower extension pipe and head and then screw this one in, then put your head on this one. BTW : be sure you have the clearance to swing this larger ext. pipe around but I'm guessing if you need to raise it up that's its probably pretty far from the ceiling/soffit anyway.

I have 4 installed, no leaks. I installed 2 in March 2013, 1 in May 2013, and 1 in August 2013. I use HighSierra 1.5 gpm shower heads on the primary outlet which creates more back pressure than the 2.5 gpm handheld shower heads on the secondary outlet. They have been leak free, and the "paddle" switch to divert flow is easy to throw compared to anything I have tried previously, with positive cut-off of water to the unused outlet. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

The simple answer to "will it work" is yes. It won't replace what you have but will work along with it. Also if you remove the city issued shower head there is a ball inside that you need to remove to amp up the pressure. Try that too. I personally enjoy using two shower heads together to cover a larger area.

I have not tried nor felt there was a need to change the flow. The flow seems sufficient and it as good or better than the head it replaced. Or you certain you have not blocked some of the flow with the plumber's tape?

Yes. I flipped mine around and attached the hoses on the bottom as it was a better angle for my setup. I had to purchase adapters because I was attaching to washing machine hoses which were attached to an outdoor sill cock on my house. I took the piece from the shower to the hardware store and the guy there made sure that I got the correct fittings. Can't wait until it get warm enough for outdoor showers again!
