There are a number of reasons why you may need to replace your shower head, for example, if it is damaged or if isn’t as efficient as you want it. Removing a shower head can be a fairly difficult task, especially if it is very tight. The following steps will make it much easier for you to replace a shower head:Before you actually move your shower head, make sure it actually needs removing because they are difficult to remove. For instance, if you aren’t satisfied with the flow of water coming from your shower head, it may not be the fault of the shower head which means you don’t need to change it. You may only need some acidic chemicals and brushes to remove all the mineral deposits which is clogging the shower head and reducing the flow. Let’s start removing that shower head. Begin by checking the underside of the shower head in order to look for any small screws. If you can see them, get a pipe wrench or a pair of pliers to start unscrewing them. Also, hold onto the water supply with one hand while also applying steady force in turning the wrench with the other hand. Make sure to not exert too much force, otherwise, you could break the supply pipe. Then look for any rust around the shower head connection if your shower head isn’t disconnecting and apply a rust oil to remove it. If you still are unable to remove the shower head, you may need to call a professional like us at
