Replacing your existing showerhead with a low-flow water saving model is both good for the environment and can save money on your utility bill. Here how to go about it:

• Use a strap wrench to unscrew the old fixture (turning counterclockwise) to keep from scratching the finish on the showerhead.
• Apply two laps of Teflon tape to the threads on the water pipe to prevent leaking.
• Hand screw the new fixture into place (turning clockwise).
• Tighten up the showerhead using the strap wrench.
• Turn the shower on, and check for leaks.
