Rockin' Faucets Part 2 of 2!
Hello all! Joey peeking in again. Here's a real straight forward one for ya. Time to do the "Shower head shuffle"! Ok, maybe that's playing it up a bit. Let's move on.
Installing a shower head like the one we got from Delta is a super simple process. This is what we got when we opened the box.
This model comes with an extra washing utensil that detaches from the main shower head when you need to get to those hard to clean areas. (like the back of your knees) And what we like about this one is that it has a setting that allows the main overhead shower to remain on while you use the detachable one. Particularly useful if you are so bourgeois that you don't want your head to get cold while you wash the back of your knee. Which I totally pretend to be while I shower.
I took a vice grip and removed our old shower head. And this is the pipe that was left. As you can see from the picture where everything is out of the box it comes with a new shiny one if you have easy access to change the pipe. We have some lovely pink tile in the way, so I just left it. It also comes with a new, more fashionable, back plate that I tried to install, but the pipe we have was too close to the wall and I couldn't get it on. So I left that too.
A couple more turns of the vice grip and this is what you have. A new shower head. Or if you're good with photoshop, a pretty convincing UFO.
Here it is all together. It's a thing of beauty. And just to jangle my nerves, Lana and I decided we should time the installation from opening the box, to up on the wall. I clocked in at a semi-pro 7 min 34.6 secs. There were two minutes or so that I was wrestling with the back plate that I asked to have removed from the official clock, but Lana said "Rules are rules" and I relented.
And that's it. If you wanna be the hero of the household in 8 minutes or less I can't think of a better project. Except maybe brushing your teeth.
Just a little note to let you know we weren't paid to post this. A few weeks back Delta flew us out to check out there facilities and gifted us with this here showerhead to test out if we wished. So we did. And we loved it, so we wrote about it. We want you to know we would only write about a product we really love and trust.
