Tired of this single thread, Leaky shower head left from the Nixon administration?
Just pick up a wrench and soul of change itself because replace it by one of the simple chores around the House.
Homeowners can find a wide variety of shower heads, water from hand Massager version, priced from $ 20 to more than $ 150.
With a wrench and some thread tape most of them can be changed in a few simple steps, if you follow the instructions of the product carefully.
"The most common thing to do among consumers that people do not know that this is easy," said Mark Knurek, Senior Product Manager for Moen. "They think that there is something they have to do behind the wall, that they should install the new arm.
Shower heads can get lime buildup that affects the flow of the water and the old shower head can not be nizkopotocnoj to the current guidelines, says Amy Matthews, host of DIY Network's two shows.
Shut off the water supply to the House, or at least in the shower before work, "Matthews said. "Would you like to turn on the shower handles and let all that sits in the discharge pipe, so you do not have any additional leak while you are working," she said.
Another piece of advice: be careful when using copper tubing, which is relatively soft and flexible. It may be damaged if you use too much muscle.
"You should work slowly and carefully with your wrenches," Matthews said.
