I appreciate if you use my amazon affiliate link to view showerheads!
I take my old shower head and raise it up about 20" without any major plumbing. I then install a rainfall shower head.
We do this by taking out the old shower arm and replacing it with an S curve shower arm. I bought mine at Home Depot back by the showerheads and I got it for under $16. This extension piece allows you to raise the shower arm roughly 11inches. You can find these at Lowes Home Improvement as well.
I secured the shower arm back into the piping in the wall using Joint Compound or "Pipe Dope". After the shower arm is installed I simply screwed on the shower head to the new shower arm and bent it to me desired height.
I use to have to crouch just to splash water in my face and now I have a rainfall shower all for under $70. Granted there are probably better more expensive ways to do this but this isn't Home and Garden TV. Just a normal dude who wants a nice shower setup.
If you've only got $100 or less to spend on your bathroom renovation project I highly recommend swapping out a new rainfall shower head.

I'm 5'1 so this is never an issue for me... but I would love to do this to my shower so it feels like I'm under a waterfall... thanks for posting! It looks easy enough for me to try, so wish me luck lol!

@ProBuyersGuides 10 лет назад

Hope it went well!

@albertomunoz7620 8 лет назад

Thank you so much! I'm 6'5" and have struggled with this my entire life!

@evilsexykitty88 4 года назад

This is so much easier than I thought it was to change out an arm. Thanks!

@LarissaBerry07 10 лет назад

Great video! And I love that you showed us the shower functioning at the end!

@ProBuyersGuides 10 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. Still love that shower.

@CatHarlem 9 лет назад

WOW! I just purchased the same shower arm and new shower head (I'm a tall female). This will be my weekend project. Thanks for the tutorial!

@MrGoodStroke86 5 лет назад

a new shower head is my next project. thank you for keeping the video short and straight to the point.

@headhitter1 10 лет назад

I wish I could add 11 inches for 15 bucks

@kylebreen9236 9 лет назад

I was able to replace the shower arm and install a new shower head in about 5 minutes. Thanks for the video and for making it look simple!

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

Kyle Breen No problem, glad it helped! In case you missed it Kyle I have a fun video for cleaning grout if you have a tiled tub as well ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ADjGODajHTk.html

@s0s0thea 9 лет назад

great video my husband is 6'7 an he's always talking about the rainfall shower head as well. I'm sure he's going to love this video. thanks :-)

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

Your husband understands the struggle. Tell him that next time someone asks if he plays basketball, reply in a deadpan reaction that he is a horse jockey... works almost every time for me.

@rons3486 5 лет назад

Best intro on RU-vid - "Hi I'm Eric and I'm in my bathrobe"... LOL!

@SophisticatedBob 10 лет назад

Outstanding. I'm going to use what I learned here "in reverse" and lower my shower head. Mine is made for someone about 6'5" and I'm 5'10". Thanks for the help.

@SarNoonTarot 10 лет назад

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

I couldn't believe how easy it was. Good luck KJ.

@anngun-munro6368 5 лет назад

Exactly what I needed!! Thanks. Easy Peasy!

@annieb9627 9 лет назад

Thanks for the info! We had been looking at different S style shower arms and had actually wondered how much room the one you reviewed would give us. We had no idea that there were flexible shower heads. You made our choice easier as to which brand we would end up going with. (Shower is designed so that someone who is 5 1/2 feet hits their head....I'm the shortest at 5'10".)

@amypeaceloveweed 9 лет назад

This is absolutely what I needed to find, the apartment I'm in has a shower head that gives me the same issue yours did, and I'm only 5'5. Awesome economic way of fixing my issue, now if only I could get the water pressure up.

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

Thanks Berenice Flores. Did you find any good videos on water pressure? I'm not sure myself... I know my sink had bad pressure and it was gunk that built up in the screens.

@rockitman99 11 лет назад

That was great info.....I wanted to rasie my shower head as well but thought I had to to do some plumbing alterations , but not anymore ! Thanks for posting this !

@studentthe1560 5 лет назад

Great tutorial and great job! I am also not crazy about that plastic part on your shower head arm but, most importantly, it does gives you the height you need. Sometimes practicality has to come before aesthetics.

@Iceechibi 9 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I am a 5'11" female and short showers have been my enemy all my life. I've wanted a rainfall shower for a while now - doesn't look too complicated.

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

Iceechibi You're welcome. I was surprised how easy it was. Good luck!

@meh7517 6 лет назад

@ProBuyersGuides 11 лет назад

That's awesome, I love mine.. depending on what state you live in you can take out the water regulator for more water flow too which is on the directions, just a pair of needle nose a little black rubber washer

@AlfredoAlegrett 10 лет назад

Thank you, this was very informative and had given me the courage to attempt doing this by myself... :-)

@czar89031 7 лет назад

teflon is better sealant works best & can be replace if something needs to replace for water leeks,..

@anonymouse9360 Год назад

My shower is a handheld unit that mounts on a bracket -you can shower while it's in the bracket or remove it when needed. Wouldnt a rainfall unit have to attached directly to the wall.

@anonymouse9360 Год назад

I'd like to convert my regular shower to a rainshower but I don't think it is high enough. Not unless the rainshower showerhead comes with a long extension.

@MsLovelyyWeirdo 9 лет назад

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

MsLovelyWeirdo I'm a weird guy too, what can I say.

@nosajmog 10 лет назад

Nice video. I think the shower head need pipe dope as well or tephlon tape. I will be working on mine tomorrow.

@ProBuyersGuides 7 лет назад

I thought it was strange that it didn't ask for tape on it but maybe you're right.

@GregReavis 10 лет назад

Awesome I bought one yesterday but trying to get more water pressure

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

christopher bell Nice! Did it install pretty easily for you too? Were you able to get more water pressure?

@christopherbell7159 9 лет назад

Our state government laws required very low pressure for the economy it's some bullshit to me

@christopherbell7159 9 лет назад

But i did get it install. I just took the water savers out of the shower head

@eddiequinonez7415 6 лет назад

Thanks... good information 🤙

@joricma 7 лет назад

Hey, Eric. Thanks for the GREAT tip! I have a question, though. I see in the video that you put a note regarding certain angles in the arm causing leaks into the wall. Is this shower arm that you installed in this video the kind of arm that will cause leaks or you already corrected it in the video and this is the one that does not cause leaks into the wall? (PS: Sorry for my broken English. Not my first launguage, but I'm trying to improve it as much as I can.)

@ProBuyersGuides 7 лет назад

As long as when water drips down the handle it comes to a low point before it enter the wall. If your handle arm goes directly down into the wall so will the water. The one I installed here has a curve.

@TheOnlyMzHamilton 7 лет назад

@allourep 4 года назад

What if I turn that original shower head arm lose one half turn so that it’s angled upward for a shower head I’m installing? Am I risking leaks with this half turn lose to have it angled upward?

@amodoko 9 лет назад

You had mentioned that before you got this shower arm, the other shower arm you tried installing would not tighten as much as you needed and so it was leaking slowly inside your wall. My question is, how did you know it was leaking slowly? I'm about to change my shower arm and want to know how I can check if there is a slow leak after I tighten my shower arm in. I don't have a floor below me so I won't see any mold on ceilings or anything so I kind of need a way to check for leaks since I'm paranoid

@ProBuyersGuides 9 лет назад

amodoko the flange on my shower arm comes off slightly. When that pulls off a little bit and I use a flashlight I can see back on the the threads, mine had enough space that I could get a finger on the threads to feel for water leaks. The threads are just barely in the wall so I was able to check it out. If you can't get your fingers in there... you could try sticking a piece of paper in the wall all around the pipe and see if water gets on it.

@amodoko 9 лет назад

Thanks! I'll try to use the paper trick as there isn't enough space to see easily on mine. Thank you

@mrzif0013 9 лет назад

good vid. nice tile shower. did you tile your shower? maybe do a video on a nice shower curtain rail vs the rod you have there.

@ProBuyersGuides 7 лет назад

Yes I did tile it.. thanks for the feedback. Recently did another shower and ended up doing a curved curtain rail like you suggested.

@DC-tl5nr 8 лет назад

Anyone know how this will affect the water pressure ? My place has the worst water pressure and I don't want to lose any more of it.

@ElectricIguana 8 лет назад

You said it was leaking on the inside? Even with the pipe dope? How were you able to tell?

@ProBuyersGuides 8 лет назад

The angle of the shower arm. If it angles directly down into wall from the shower head you will get leaks. Need a drip curve of sorts.
