Every Drop Shower Saver® - Tricky Installs    ** HOSE Install Tips **  Read carefully if yours is a hose style shower.

The Every Drop Shower Saver® will fit most showers in Australia IF YOUR SUPPLY PIPE IS HORIZONTAL because all Aussie showers use the same size pipe. If  your feed pipe is at an angle other than horizontal it can be tricky unless you are inventive. Send me a photo!

Hand held hose style showers can pose a challenge so please read this carefully before buying.
Hand-held hose type showers can have two small problems:  NOT Designed for HOSE Type showers

1) Either the hose comes straight out of the wall (horizontally) with the hose naturally falling down, potentially getting in the way of our paddle.

SOLUTION: Install the Every Drop Shower Saver with the valve rotated so the paddle sits at the 12 o'clock position. SOLVED.

2) The hose connects to a vertical thread. SOLUTION: you can either connect the Shower Saver onto the vertical thread and spin the valve to the most convenient angle of rotation to avoid the wall or shower brackets OR (if you look closely) you'll notice that the vertical thread is actually a short 90 degree angled pipe that connects to the horizontal pipe in your wall. The Shower Saver could insert here (up stream one connection) in the same way as solution #1.

In the case of the vertical install, you should check to see if gravity will cause the paddle to slowly fall down, switching the water back on. It can however be tightened by rotating the retaining ball seal slightly clockwise, found on the inside of the valve's female thread with a 10mm alan key or screwdriver.
