What happens here

Using your Knipex pliers wrench or an adjustable wrench, carefully unscrew the existing shower head from the shower arm. Once the shower head is removed, take the Teflon tape and wrap it around the threads of the shower arm. For thicker Teflon tape, approximately three wraps should be sufficient to create a good seal. The filter is often large enough to be hand-tightened, so avoid excessive force.

Goal: Detaching the old shower head and preparing the shower arm for the new filter.

What they say

Hide

in the box, they do give you an extra washer and some Teflon. You can get this in all different kinds of colors. It's big enough to grip, so you really could just probably go hand tight with that. With this thicker Teflon, this is you don't have to go more than three wraps with this. This is not even a 5-minute job. Now, let's fire this bad boy up. See what we got.
