Delta In2ition Shower Heads: An Easy Refreshing Upgrade for Bathrooms

$50
15 Minutes
Easy
Let's face it, waking up in the morning sometimes sucks. Especially on Monday.
The last thing you want is a lousy shower.
My wife had enough of our pathetic trickling shower head. Since I prefer to keep her happy, and $50 isn't too much to spend at Lowe's, we installed the new Delta In2ition shower head.
When I say anyone can do this, I MEAN ANYONE CAN DO THIS simple upgrade.
The cool thing about the In2ition is that it has 2 shower heads in 1. There's a hand sprayer that fits into the stationary shower head. This comes in handy when you need to clean your child, a dog, the shower itself, or a dirty & hairy husband (I fall into the first and last categories respectively).
Here are some quick tips
+Always replace the teflon tape but only go down to the last two threads
+Ensure rubber seals are in both ends of the shower hose
+Don't overtighten the shower head to the shower arm
+Brag to your friends about your new showering experience
You can view a short installation video at http://www.homerepairtutor.com/delta-in2ition-shower-heads/.
I also have Delta's video for the In2ition at the end of the post. Let's just say it's probably a PG-13 video clip compared to mine (LOL)

    I love the shower head that I have, (it's a wand & has the massager settings etc) but it's got a random leak that flies out the side at the attachment point. I'm assuming I could just take it off and replace that Teflon tape and then reattach?? BTW, I did the whole broken leg thing, and it was a real blessing to have a the removable head feature.

    AJ, sorry to hear you had a broken leg. OUCH. That's not something anyone would want to go through. You're right, detach the shower head from the shower arm and clean off the old teflon tape. Then put 3-4 layers of new tape on the threads down. See if that works and let me know how it goes.
