- Do You Want To Attach Your Garden Hose To Your Shower?
If you're reading this, then you probably know that the Pipe Thread of a shower arm is different than a Garden Hose thread. So, you'll need a 1/2" FPT to 3/4" MH adapter. But, we're not going to just end there.
We understand that many of you are looking to attach a Garden Hose to your shower so you can fill your water birthing tub for your home birth, or using the water for home brewing or other at home recipes. In that case, you'll likely want to filter the water. So, we'll be installing an inline water filter too.
And for those of you who only have one bathroom in their house, it would be great to be able to use the shower even when you have your Garden Hose adapter attached. So, we'll also be installing an external shower diverter so you can do just that!
Here are the exact parts/tools we used in this video:
- Garden Hose Adapter: amzn.to/2p4R96r
- Garden Hose Cap: amzn.to/2p4DCfa
- Sprite Inline Shower Filter: amzn.to/2no222T
- Shower Arm Diverter: amzn.to/3DKTm8M
- Apex Food Grade Hose: amzn.to/2nzwHdl
And of course, that’s the HammerHead Showers Solid Metal Hand Held Shower Head in this video:

Let's get into it then and show you how to install a garden hose in your shower, the right way!

Great idea for my portable Washing machine. I have modern kitchen and bath sink fixtures that will not fit the machine. But this shower diverter gives me another option. Thanks
haha ..exactly why i am here lol ... glad to have found it too!
Informative video! Exactly what I was looking for to set up an outside warm bath for my dog.
Thank you now I can water my plants on my balcony instead of having the hose come up to the balcony from the lower outside faucet. Saves more time instead of filling pitchers after pitchers of water. And to tell HOA to F off
You are very welcome! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
This video literally saved me a ton of money. Thank you so much.
Hi Night! I'm glad it helped!
Outstanding video! Been trying to figure this out for several years. Thanks much for the help, just ordered everything I need.
Thanks for letting us know, John. If you need anything else, do not hesitate to let us know.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO HOOK UP MY WASHER TO MY SHOWER AND I THINK YOU JUST MADE MY DAY AGAIN THANK YOU !!!
I'm so glad that the video was helpful!
Thank you so very much!!!!!! I was looking for that now I can have hot water from my diy charcoal water heater.
What a wonderful idea. It solved all my problems with second floor flat. Just have bought on AMAZON 3x exp and able 100 feet garden hose firmy HOMEZE . I can water my garden, I can wash my windows.
I'm glad I was able to help! It definitely sounds like a plan!
Thank you was trying to figure this out today...!
You are very welcome! Please let us know if you need anything else.
Thank you very helpful
You are welcome. Let me know if you need anything else!

You are very welcome!
Thank you!! I was going to attach my hose to the kitchen sink. Unfortunately the aerator a stuck...so this is the next best thing!
@Bea Crawmer, You are very welcome. Please let us know if you need anything else.
thanks great !!!
I'm glad that you liked it!
Omg u r the best 🌊
Thank you!
I don't need the filter, I just want to hook up my portable washing machine. Is it still everything on this list minus the filter?
Very useful. How often do you need to change the filter media?
Thanks Wayne! I would change it every 6 months. If you notice your skin starting to get itchy or dry out, you know it's time.
I am trying to figure out how to be able to attach a garden hose to an already stalled faucet and sprayer in a dog grooming tub at the vet clinic I work at for dog grooming. There are two nozzles i am wanting that will help me increase my speed and less work but they both require a garden hose, and I, for the life of me have no idea what to do without replacing the whole faucet lol this may be an idea? I have no idea 🤪
Depends on what type of faucet you have. If the sprayer is built into the faucet you cannot do anything but change it. If it’s a traditional faucet with side sprayer you can replace the aerator with an adapter to get you a male garden hose thread. You can buy this at Home Depot.
I want to hook the shower massager to the garden hose for showering on back porch. Right now I have outdoor hose sprayer but there isn't enough water pressure.
Unfortunately, we do not stock garden hoses but we recommend using a food grade hose, the Teknor Apex NeverKink 7612-25, if you're using for a birth pool, home brewing, and or cooking. These include Soft sleeve which prevents kinking at the faucet and ergonomic leak proof coupling for easier attachment to the faucet. If you already have low water pressure coming from your pipe then you will be getting the same water pressure through your garden hose.
@@theshowerheadstore what adapter do I need to take the shower massager head and hook to garden hose

Will the spray be forceful on the hose with a sprayer? It looks like it was pouring out of the hose. I need it to clean a screened in balcony on the third floor.
If you add a garden hose sprayer to the end of the garden hose, you should get some decent pressure out of it. You shouldn't have any problem cleaning the screens.
Lol, watching b/c I am experiencing the same conundrum - how to clean patio from apt. shower... good luck!
My intentions are to run the garden hose out of the window so I am able to wash my car. Is the Sprite Inline Filter still required? Or can I just hook up the diverter to the shower?
If that's your only intention, then you don't need to have the Inline Filter you can just attach the shower hose to the diverter.
😃
I need to know what to get so I can attach a shower head with a female connector to a shower HOSE with a female connector? Like an adapter - what would such an adapter be called?
Hello there, You would need a 1/2" male - 1/2" male shower hose extender adapter. Here is one from Amazon that you can check out: www.amazon.com/dp/B08D71ZBJ3
Does anyone know of anyone that supplies this type of adaptor in anything but bright shiny brass??? I'd like it to match my showerhead if possible.
It seems are only available in brass, Josh.
Do you have a link to the diverter?
Hi Laniakea! The diverter would be going right before the adapter. In this particular setting, right after the filter and before the adapter.
This adapter you can find it at this link: - Garden Hose Adapter: amzn.to/2p4R96r
The Apex Food Grade Hose is 5/8" x 50'. Why am I to purchase a 1/2" to 3/4" adaptor instead of a 1/2" to 5/8" adaptor?
Hi Sybil! It all depends on the adapter the hose has. I would definitely check with the manufacturer to get all the details.
Are you being serious though? Surely you buy the adapter for your needs.
Garden hose tube diameters do not correlate to the standard garden hose thread, which is 3/4". Garden hoses are typically available with internal tube diameters of 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4", but all use 3/4" garden hose thread fittings. Larger hoses, such as for garbage water pumps (ponds, etc.), would have different hose couplings.
Your question is valid-I’m wondering the same thing myself. Based on the items that are shown in the links provided, the hose won’t fit the adapter. I don’t want to have to return items because they don’t fit. Did you ever try this project? I know it’s 2 years later, but hopefully someone will see this and respond. Thank you
Can the garden hose be connected to a portable washer?
We do not stock portable washers. The Shower head Store is solely responsible for Showerheads and accessories and for that we do provide instructions on how to attach a Garden hose. For more information, you might want to contact support for the portable washer
This low flow water stuff has to go. There was barely any water coming out of the hose.
Did you use all the parts in the video? Make sure that there aren't any overside washers inside of the shower head filter or diverter. If a washer gets wedged into the shower arm from one of these components, this can really reduce your flow. We had this happen with the Sprite inline filter, which has a huge washer pre-installed. We removed that washer, re-installed the filter and the flow was pretty good.
@@theshowerheadstore Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to what I saw in the video. If the garden hose can go "full flow" like one attached to the outside of my house, I will use your link and order tonight.
@@msnpassjan2004 If you want to get a similar flow to your outside hose bib, the best thing to do would be to attach the garden hose adapter directly to your shower arm. However, then you wouldn't be able to attach your shower arm. If you install the diverter and then attach the garden hose adapter, you'll get a little bit less flow just because the water needs to pass through a few more channels, but then you'll be able to have your shower head installed like in the video.
@@theshowerheadstore With the setup that you show here in the video, would it be enough pressure to attach one of those sprayer head (like you would put on an outside hose) that you can use to have a powerful stream?
@@DaysOfSodaAndLantana The Handheld showerhead seen in this video is a single-function handheld with no mechanism to increase your water pressure. With a 2.5 Gallon Per Minute Flow Rate, the single-function Shower Head gives you solid pressure and wide coverage for a warm, fulfilling showering experience. You can also remove the flow restrictor from your showerhead which will definitely increase your water flow.
