Old showerhead always came out with little pressure and unevenly. Cleaning didn’t help much so I looked for a new one. I found a seller that manufactured locally and specialized in showerheads. Much better than the attractive plastic junk from the box stores.
It was an easy change and it makes a big difference.
Tried to replace the showerhead some time ago. Thing was completely stuck. After using plenty of chemicals and tools I managed to remove the head, including the part of the pipe where the thread is/was. So now I need to replace the special pipe of the shower cabine which is specific for this one model of shower cabine and not something stores have in stock.
I need a picture, because what you just wrote makes no sense to me. The only things that I can conceive that you did is:
Please post a pic of it though, because the curiosity is killing me.
It’s a metal pipe going from behind the shower unit (picture an upside down ‘J’. Behind the unit it’s connected to the backside of the tap. What happend is that the head had been on it for several years and lime from the water was depostited between the threads. This somehow made a solid bond. And by apply more and more force eventually the lime won from the metal of the pipe. Cutting the pipe just above the thread cleaner than you could with a pipe cutting tool.
