This shower head points directly to the wall of the tub....... getting the wall paneling outside the tub wet when it sprays and runs down.There are no moveable parts to make it point straight down. We got this one because it has the arch so it is higher, the other was too low. It is a hassle getting in the shower too fast before the water oversprays onto the wall.I was thinking of getting a new head,but thought I would run it by you handy people first.
I need a little help here! thanks! And please dont make fun of my yeller fiberglass tub, it is over 35 years old.......and no one sees it , (except now the world!) ha
@Becky sue...What an interesting development! You asked about the height...well from the inside bottom of the tub to the hole is 67 inches..however, in spite of the space age look of this shower heard, the HEAD is actually ONLY 2 INCHES HIGHER!!!!! Just because it goes up and around doesn't mean it is 6 or 7 inches higher.I AM FLOORED! The original head just pointed straight down and was not tall enough to get under without bending. It would have been even shorter due to the actual head being lower than the hole! I am sure this one accommodates tall people because of the direction it is pointed at...mainly the wall! huh!!! 2 inches!
It looks like the added option of the diverter is a contributing factor here. With it having the holder, its pretty long. Since you are not using the holder for the hand held - maybe you could consider a shower arm diverter that does just that - google "shower arm diverter valve" Thereafter ...»
Looks handy and like it might work, is this unusual, or can i find it at local stores?
@Jeannette, mine is fiberglass, surround tub, so it is staying right where it is until it actually croaks. Noone sees it except when it is being used for shower, I did get rid of the plastic yellow sink and yellow counter top. looks nice.
