How to Install Your SOVASH Shower Kit

Applies to all SOVASH shower kits.

⏱ 5–10 minutes 🔧 Adjustable wrench recommended 🧻 Soft cloth recommended ✅ Easy installation

An adjustable wrench and soft cloth are recommended for removing the old shower head and securing connections without scratching the finish.

Before you begin

Identify your shower head, stainless steel hose, PTFE tape, shower arm adapter, self-adhesive holder, and replacement filters. Every connection is designed to be hand-tightened — you should never need to force anything.

Part A — Connect the water path

Step 1: Remove your old shower head

REPLACE: Photo of an old shower head being unscrewed from the arm.

Turn off the shower water. Unscrew your existing shower head counterclockwise. Most come off by hand; if yours is tight, wrap it in a soft cloth and carefully use an adjustable wrench.

Step 2: Clean the threads

Remove old tape, debris, or mineral buildup from the shower arm threads. A clean surface prevents most leaks.

Step 3: Apply PTFE tape

Wrap PTFE tape around the shower arm threads 3–5 times, clockwise, pulled snug so it lies flat.

Step 4: Install the adapter if needed

Screw the shower arm adapter onto the shower arm and hand-tighten.

Step 5: Connect the hose

Attach the stainless steel hose to the adapter or directly to the shower arm, depending on your setup, and hand-tighten securely.

Step 6: Connect the shower head

Attach the shower head to the free end of the hose and tighten securely. Make sure the fitting is aligned properly before tightening. If your hose fitting has a small rubber washer/gasket inside, confirm it is seated flat before connecting.

Step 7: Test for leaks

Turn the water on slowly so pressure builds gradually. If you notice dripping, hand-tighten the connection a little more or reapply PTFE tape where needed.

Step 8: Flush before first use

Run water through the shower head for 1–2 minutes before first use.

Important: During first use you may notice temporary cloudiness or small dark particles in the water stream. This is normal as the filter media is rinsed during initial use. Run the water for 1–2 minutes until it runs clear.

Water flow path

Wall shower arm → Shower arm adapter if needed → Stainless steel hose → Shower head

Part B — Mount the self-adhesive holder

The holder is separate from the water connection. You can use the shower right away — just don't rest the shower head's weight in the holder for 24 hours while the adhesive cures.

Installation tips

  • Tighten connections securely, but do not overtighten. If using a wrench, place a soft cloth between the wrench and the fitting to protect the finish.
  • Always wrap PTFE tape clockwise so it doesn't unravel when you screw the part on.
  • Keep the leftover PTFE tape — it may help fix future drips.

Shower Arm Adapter Installation Guide

The shower arm adapter connects your SOVASH kit to a wall-mounted shower arm when a direct connection is not possible.

  1. Remove your old shower head.
  2. Clean the shower arm threads.
  3. Apply PTFE tape, 3–5 wraps clockwise.
  4. Screw the adapter on and hand-tighten.
  5. Connect the hose.
  6. Turn the water on and check for leaks.
Do not force any connection. If the threads do not align smoothly, stop and realign.

Replace the filter media every 2–3 months, depending on water quality and household usage.

  3. Remove the used filter media or cartridge.
  4. Insert the replacement filter.

Replace sooner if water flow decreases, the filter media looks heavily discolored, or your water quality is unusually poor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my shower?

SOVASH shower kits are designed to work with standard residential shower installations. If your shower uses a different thread configuration, use the included shower arm adapter.

Do I need tools to install it?

An adjustable wrench and soft cloth are recommended. The cloth helps protect the finish while removing the old shower head or securing connections.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take 5–10 minutes once the old shower head has been removed.

Why is water leaking from the connection?

Leaks are usually caused by loose fittings, not enough PTFE tape, misaligned threads, or a rubber washer/gasket inside the hose fitting not sitting flat.

Should I use PTFE tape on every connection?

Use PTFE tape on threaded shower-arm connections. Hose connections may rely on an internal rubber washer/gasket, so check the fitting and avoid over-wrapping.

Why is the water cloudy or showing dark specks at first?

This can happen when new filter media is flushed for the first time. Run water for 1–2 minutes until it clears.

How often should I replace the filter?

Replace the filter media every 2–3 months depending on water quality and household usage. Replace sooner if flow decreases or the filter media looks heavily discolored.

Can I use the shower immediately after installation?

Yes. The water connection can be used immediately after checking for leaks. If using the self-adhesive holder, wait 24 hours before resting the shower head in the holder.

What surfaces work best for the self-adhesive holder?

Use smooth, clean, dry surfaces such as ceramic tile, glass, marble, or smooth metal. Avoid textured walls, wallpaper, painted drywall, or uneven surfaces.

What should I do if a part is missing?

Troubleshooting Guide

Water leaking at a connection

Fix: Disconnect the joint, apply fresh PTFE tape where needed, confirm the connection is aligned correctly, and check that any rubber washer/gasket inside the hose fitting is seated flat before reconnecting.

Low water pressure

Fix: Check the hose for kinks, rinse the shower head, inspect or replace the filter media, or soak the head in a 50/50 mix of warm water and white vinegar for one hour.

Connection will not screw on

Fix: Remove the connection, realign, and turn slowly by hand. Never force it. Install the included shower arm adapter if needed.

Cloudy water or dark specks on first use

Fix: Run the water for 1–2 minutes. This is normal during initial filter flushing.

Holder not staying attached

Fix: Reinstall on a clean, dry, smooth surface and allow 24 hours before resting the head in it.
