The quality is pretty nice and I have an overall very good impression of this pet shower head and hose. With the quick-connect, quick-disconnect fitting that comes with it, the shower head and hose won't need to be in our shower unless we're washing our dog at the time. The fitting itself is white and is attached to the pipe behind your existing shower head. Your existing shower head is removed, but then put right back in its place.
A little detail on my installation experience: I installed this pet shower a couple of hours ago. The only tool I needed was an adjustable wrench to loosen the fitting at the back of my shower head. After loosening it, I untightened it the rest of the way by hand and then the shower head was resting in my hand and I put it aside for a couple of minutes until I screwed on the Bamboo shower fitting. Your same shower head then screws back on, but it screws onto the Bamboo shower fitting you just attached. Your existing/standard shower head then stays there and doesn't have to be removed again.
I've changed maybe a dozen or more shower heads in various apartments and homes over the past 20 years, and they have all used the same size pipe and threads. My current shower head has the same size pipe and threads and the Bamboo Pet Shower fitting screwed onto it perfectly. I noticed that one of the other reviews said that the Bamboo fitting did not match the pipe size. That must have been the case for that reviewer, but it's surprising to me because those pipe sizes have been so consistent for me. No problem here.
The Bamboo Pet Shower package comes with a little roll of white teflon tape to make a nice seal. I wrapped about 5 or 6 inches of this tape around the threads on the shower head pipe (it went around about three times) and then screwed on the Bamboo adapter/fitting just like it shows in the Bamboo instructions. Easy. The Bamboo fitting has pipe threads that your old shower head is screwed onto. I wrapped two or three rounds of white teflon tape around those threads and then screwed on my old shower head. Done with that.
There is also a connection for hose-spigot sized screws in the package. I didn't need that connection.
The Bamboo shower head and hose connects to the fitting that was just installed with a couple of quick-connects. They really are quick. It took a second to snap the hose on to the new fitting behind my shower head, and another second to snap the pet shower head to the other end of the 8-foot hose. Super easy. It also takes just a second to remove the hose from the fitting up near the old shower head. No leaking. Good. I stored the hand-held Bamboo shower head and its hose under my sink when I was done.
The pet shower head/wand has a little lever for adjusting the water force coming out. It works great and was easy to move, from no water to fast water. A low water flow of warm water worked great for my dog. I could also turn off the water completely with my thumb and put it down when lathering some shampoo into his coat. No water splashed into his eyes or my eyes when I was rinsing his body. Cool.
The little soft rubbery nubs on the shower head help a little, but not so much on the legs and such for my dog. They aren't always needed. Noodles didn't mind them. Every pet may have their own opinion, but the nubs are soft enough that there probably won't be many objections.
I can't think of anything to change about the whole product. I like it. Five stars here.Get more detail about Bamboo Deluxe Pet Shower Sprayer, Colors Vary.
