Your voice makes me smile... and then you back it up with great advice! 👍 I'll use this Knowledge!
usually that leak is from a rupture hose. your fix is for a hose that came loose
Unfortunately when mine usually starts leaking is cause that cheap plastic nut that holds the hose on the shower head has some how split or broken and needs to be replaced completely. Because that nut is prone to loosen over time being used. I will add a little silicone on the threads to hopefully sort of glue the nut in place to keep it from loosing up. Seems to help for me!
Thanks man, reversing the rubber gasket fixed my problem. Great video and clear informative explanation of everything.
Masterfully helpful tips never seem to stop. My Spring Honey-Dew list looks eerily similar to the YT playlist of your videos. Appreciate the content, Brother.
Perfect job for one of those small rubber strap wrenches! Love your videos! Keep'm coming!
Thank you much appreciated
I used to travel and I kept a wrench in my suitcase. Hotel pressure isn’t always good but a quick cleaning helped always.
Flipping the washer works for me. Thanks for the tip
The instructions in the video worked like a charm. Thankfully I had some rubber dipped gloves handy and I was able to unscrew the head with ease. Re-tightened it and 70% of the leak disappeared.
Un-screwed it again, Flipped the filter over and Re-tightened it... 80% improvement but still has leakage. Looks like I may need another filter/gasket. Thank you for a great video and concise!
I just bought a new head and it was immediately leaking so I thought it was just bad quality but then when I came to your video I realized I just didn't add the washer 😭😭 thank you so much for this video!! it's my first time leaving by myself so I'm kinda discovering everything hahahaha thank youuu 🩷
this video is pure gold !
Removing Teflon tape was what did it for me. Didnt know you shouldnt use it on that connection. Thanks for the hints
Thanks!! Flipping the washer solved it for me.
Very helpful and no babble! Great, many thanks x
Brand new shower head installed today, only leaks from the back connection after the water is turned off. Everything is tight and no breaks or cracks in anything. Every wand style shower head I've ever used has had this type of leak in literally hundreds of different places in the US that I've showed in . I can only think it's a pressure release mechanism causing it, but I do not know for certain and nothing stops it. It's not like a spray type leak but more like a seeping out and dripping type leak for only about 20 to 30 seconds.
Great to the point video. Thanks for your time and effort
First thing I do in a new house or vacation home is take that mesh out, much better pressure .
Thanks a lot! This worked for my situation.
Thanks for the great tip 👍
Thank you ❤️ Perfect Tutorial 👍
Extremely helpful, great video.
Glad it was helpful!
The combo shower head with the diverted for the hand sprayer has been a game changer, they make suction cup and adhesive mounts so you can make a bootleg multi head shower system
They are really great for cleaning the shower stall and bath too.
thank you, my shower head is 4 month new, so really was unhappy with leakage
Thanks so much this helped me
Thank you very much😊
Awesome! Fixed
Thanks for sharing..
Can you do a basic garbage disposal replacement video? I just replaced mine and the resources on YT are lacking with proper info for a correct replacement.
Thanks I bought a brand new shower head that was leaking and I was about to throw it away . This video helped ! I added some plastic washers in two places and fixed the issue
Thank god for CZcams
Awesome... Thanks....
Why not Teflon tape on steel threads?
One reason is visually you would see the tape, but even if that was ok. If you look closely notice the threads do not go around all the way, they are flattened on the side. Without the washer they would not seal no matter how much tape you had. The washer should always be enough.
Is there a way to replace the screw that is part of the head? The screw on the head is worn off and we can see it is a separate black plastic part fitted into the showerhead. Please advise.
Thanks for that. Now, have you covered how to get rid of the buildup of mineral deposits left after the showerhead has been leaking for quite a while?
CLR works great to dissolve that crud.
Are the instructions the same if the link it at the other end of the hose
Do i have to shut the water of the home off first before doing this ?
Thank you, you saved me lots of time. My new hose didn't come with any seals so i just reused the old ones.
Excellent advice as always 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
My hoses that attach at the top of a shower panel waterfall both broke off. How do I fix that?
my hansgrohe shower hose is leaking from the hose side of the connector to the shower head. The hose is moving inside the connector. I have an identical one which does not move inside the connector and does not leak. Do I need to replace the hose?
Grab a hold of the shaft? Lmao
Mine started to rust the thread, fixed it by cleaning the threads and add teflon tape on it just to make sure it is tight!
Mine is brand new, brand new washer, works with one shower head, but pours out with another.
Good Good g
We all want to tell you we are very very happy there was no shower on CZcams today…. Thank you😱🤐😳🤙🥳🗽😷😉👋🙌🍸🇺🇸🗽🍸🥂🍾🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Just tried turning over the sealant, didn’t work 😢 looks like a hole between the pieces of metal below the shower head
when you dont wanna find a replacement giving the o ring a bath in some silicone oil MAY rejuvenate it.
That is a great tip! I used to do that when I rebuilt carburetors on older equipment and it worked really well. Thanks for sharing this
Mine leaks at the spot between hose and base
Ots the inner hose inmy case very small in diameter ruptured and leaking into outer flex wall
Hmm, I've used channel locks for jobs like that but I wrap the teeth up in a wash cloth. Not saying that's the best way (or even better) just saying I'm a bad person to trust with a wrench😆
Same, apartment life… all the tools are back at my parents house
For me, the leak was from the hose due to crack as the inner hose becomes brittle and warn. How do I know this? Without reattaching the showerhead, I can already see the water leaking out just before the end. I found a few Russian hacks but it's a big project.
1:34 the metal piece is stuck and doesn’t move down
No bonus tip of removing the flow restrictor?

Nice job, I wish I had seen your video first 😥
Next time!
What about the part that those hose connects to the spigot
Neither Home Depot nor Lowes had any staff but a checker and one floor person near the shower area who knew less than the checker girl to help with a simple thing like the correct washer. Is this their technique to force me to buy a new shower head?
So a replacement will solve my problem. Now I know. Just kidding from one maintenance man to another
I can't get the end out of the connector......I want to shorten the hose. But the end is literally stuck inside. How can I get it out???? Plz help!
It’s like he keeps going through my “daddy do” list and helping me clear it! Scary…
Still didn’t work but I’m pretty sure there’s some type of opening or breakage on my shower head that leaks water
Really
Sure did eh 👍🏻
I usually just turn the water off.
Oh man thanks you saved me £150 😅
I already knew about this because I had to do it last year.
That, uh, thumbnail, has a different shape than you were expecting.

Thanks again for an informative video!
If you purchase a washer purchase 2
This isn't a fix of the hose, this is a fix for the shower head. My hose has leaks. Unfortunately, it's in a walk in tub and replacing the hose involves removing a panel. I thought maybe I could cut the hose and attach a new one where I cut it and use sealant & water proof tape. I guess not.
I bet you sweat glitter.
hOW MANY SECONDS, THIS SHOULD BE DONE ALREADY.
i say water hose leak , not the connector leaks
😲Don't put anything on the threads👀😳....oops. I guess that is why it is still leaking. My handheld shower head is brand new. Exchanged it for another, same result. So I'm doing something wrong
Maybe 300 seconds.
True, but if you use the rubber jar opener and flip the washer, you are done in under a minute.
Lol duh
If the hose inside the metal housing is leaking, use this video to fix it: czcams.com/video/0MX0znSgnfA/video.html
Why is this video so late? It's around 11:30pm . Unfair for people In europe
Use it as asmr :)
I think they need to come up with a better invention overall and stop the old way of making them
THREAD TAPPPEEE
unsubbed
You just unsubbed from someone that gave you correct factual advice. If you look closely notice the threads do not go around all the way the showerhead., they are flattened on the sides. These are not sealing threads. You could put all the tape you want, they will not seal and are not designed to. The washer is the only way to seal this connection, tape would have no effect, none at all.
