Phillip Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Maybe this will help some one. Fridays inspection there was no water coming out of the shower head. Yesterday I was called by the Realtor that my clients used and said that there was a shut off on the shower head that turn the water off on the shower head. He said that he had not ever see one his self and he has been selling real estate for 30 years. I seen the handle for the valve but I thought that it was to adjust the type of spray for the shower.

Erby Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 It does adjust the spray. But one of the adjustments is off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Lewis Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I believe it's a water saving device to shut off the water when you're washing and not rinsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 That shower head is designed for showers that have low water pressure - and they really work great - in my opinion. Neal has is right about the water saving feature. I learned about these after I re-plumbed the bathroom of one of my rental properties. When I was all done and turned on the shower and no water came out ââ¬â I could not figure out for the life of me what I had done wrong. I kept going over everything in my head and looking at what I had done and could not figure out why the shower would not work ââ¬â it just did not make sense. I finally figured it out and for this reason when I see them during an inspection I explain them to my clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Learned about these while riding submarines in the NAV.... Wet down for 1 minute - shut the water off at the head... soap up --- Open the shower head and rinse for one minute. Anything longer was a hollywood shower, and you only got to do that when you were using someone else's water. shut cold and hot water valves. Squeegee the shower for the next guy.

StevenT Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I lived on a sailboat for a while. Fresh water was precious. We used to lather up with salt water from the washdown, and then rinse off with fresh water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteger Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yep, I see those type of adjustable shower heads from time to time and I test it from OFF all the way to the other end to make sure it works. I also check to make sure the stem is secure in the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
