What happens here

Begin by assessing your current shower head for signs of hard water buildup, such as visible 'crusties' or mineral deposits around the nozzles. Gather your necessary tools: a wrench (such as Knipex pliers wrench or an adjustable wrench), Teflon tape (preferably a thicker version), and the new shower filter unit, which should come with an extra washer if needed. The filter unit shown is a compact filter designed to go right behind the shower head, offering filtration and water softening.

Goal: Identify hard water problems and prepare all necessary tools and materials.

Tools and materials

  • Knipex Pliers Wrench Knipex — Removing the existing shower head and tightening the new filter
  • Extra Washer — Ensuring a proper seal if the original is damaged or missing
  • Teflon Tape — Creating a watertight seal on the shower arm threads

What they say

Hide

a wrench in 2 minutes your time and you're done with stinky shower water. It's starting to see like little crusties form all over this. All right, we've got some hard water. This bad boy is just a little filter that goes right behind your shower head. Got the Knipex pliers wrench, super simple. We're in need of filtration water softener. Also in the box, they do give you an extra washer and some Teflon.
