Blaine and I have had a stationary shower head in our tub/shower in our home since moving in, and we have not had any issues with it whatsoever. We didn’t specify which sort of showerhead we desired when our plumber installed our shower/tub, so we sort of went along for the ride and used what we were given.
I have to have surgery on my knee in the next little while, and one thing I have repeatedly read online in terms of advice following an ACL and meniscus reconstruction is to ensure your showerhead is a detachable one to make bathing a bit easier following the operation. I will not be able to get certain areas of my leg wet for a few days following surgery, nor can I bend or put any weight on the injured knee for a few days. So, after speaking with my husband, we decided to order a detachable showerhead from Amazon, and after asking our plumber to ensure it was decent quality and applicable to our shower, he said to go ahead and order it and install it.
We ordered the AquaCare High Pressure 8-Mode Handheld Shower Head from Amazon and paid $30 for it. The installation wasn’t too difficult, aside from our old showerhead being rather tightly secured to the pipe, and with some very appreciated assistance from my father-in-law, the new head was ready to rip in a matter of minutes.
I am genuinely excited to use this new showerhead to clean our tub/shower because it has a ‘jet’ feature, which allows water to forcefully shoot out of an opening at the top of the head. Prior to having a detachable showerhead, cleaning the shower/tub often involved a choreographed acrobatics routine on my own behalf, so having a head that I can detach and blast away grime will be fantastic.
