Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you read other reviews you will see some issues people have reported. These can be easily corrected during installation. Some complain it leaks, which easy to fix. Some say the pics come off, also easy to fix. Some say you can't attach a massager shower head, you can. Admittedly the directions could be better, and because of that I will explain how to install and fix the issues others might have reported. Be sure to read the directions first so that what I say will be easier to understand. First - remove your old shower head (not the arm coming out of the wall, only the head you currently have on your shower arm). Do this by hand if possible. If necessary, wrap an old wash cloth around the fitting and use your pliers over the wash cloth to gently remove your old shower head. Many times these are plastic fittings so using the wash cloth over the parts to gently unscrew the fitting should prevent breakage of your old shower head parts. Be sure you turn the right direction or you may break plastic fittings Second - turn on the shower for a couple of seconds to blow out any debris such as mineral build up or chunks of washer that may have come loose over time. This will ensure no clogs in your water pic or the shower head when you put it back on. Third - wrap plumbers (white) tape around all screw threads, go around the threads at least 5 or 6 times. I found no tape included in the package so you may need to buy some at any hardware store, for about $1.00. After you have enough plumbers tape on the threads, reassemble as much of the hardware as possible, before you reattach it to the shower arm. So attach the shower head to the white plastic valve (with the X-shaped on/off handle on it) included with your ShowerFloss. Or, attach the holder part of your shower massager to the white ShowerFloss valve. Attach shower massager hose if you need to. Usually you won't need to disconnect the massager hose since it is already attached to the holder part which you removed from the shower arm. Fourth - Attach the pic hose to the white ShowerFloss valve . Be sure to push your hose onto the valve fitting, and the other end onto the pic, FIRMLY. Keep pushing the hose strait onto the connection, don't wiggle to the side as that might break the part the hose goes over. Just be patient and push strait on as far as possible, hopefully all the way to the base of the fitting as this will prevent a leak and attach the pic firmly on the hose. Fifth - attach the white ShowerFloss valve assembly to your shower arm. NOTE: People who have said they had leaks, or that the white ShowerFloss valve part would not hold the weight of a shower massager...did not use enough plumbers tape! <b>Using enough tape is the key to solving most issues</b>. If you have a fancy, extra heavy, all metal shower massager you may need to purchase a separate metal valve to hold your massager, but I would still try lots of tape first. When you screw the fittings together they should not go together loosely, and the last couple of turns you make should be pretty firm. If not, take the fitting apart and wrap more plumbers tape around the threads. Using all the directions and tips I have supplied I was able to attach everything in 15 minutes and I have no leaks. The massager shower head is held firmly and there is plenty of power to both the shower/massager head and the water pic. Both run at the same time, just fine. The ShowerFloss is all plastic, but if you attach everything as I have described, and you be a little gentle when using the on/off knob as well as your shower/massager head, it should work well and last a long time. :-)
