The curse of the shower head

November 27, 2009 in rant,shower head fail,Uncategorized

Our shower head broke. This is the second one in 2.5 years (but the first was just awful and ugly). So, now we are on number three.
Because of the budget, we were going for cheap economical and green!
Mr. Serious picked out this one that was supposed to have a lot of power but use a little water.
I was skeptical, but he put it up and took a shower.
He liked it, so I figured it could work.
Ha.
I turned the water on and immediately noticed it was like a drizzle. Hello, I have hair to wash!
Then, I got in. It sprayed me right.in.the.face!
Now, I know you are thinking I should just adjust it, right?
Not so much. It was already aiming as low as it would go.
And, I couldn't move away from it because we have one of those small square master bath showers. I needed to be on the other side of the wall for it to hit me below my face.
So, I couldn't get away from it!
Then, because it is such a short "concentrated" stream, it only got my face wet (well, my hair when I turned around). This pretty much made it impossible to clean any other parts. Wait, rephrase that, it made it fine to clean, but impossible to rinse!
A shower isn't very effective if you hair still has shampoo in it and your feet are still soapy (not to mention any other body parts).
I got out of the shower, immediately went downstairs and said "I'm almost willing to brave Black Friday to take this back."
Mr. Serious was surprised, but okay.
I reminded him I said "almost!"
Today, we took the shower head back and got a new one.
I need to take a shower.
I'm scared.

Eeek! That's one of those things you may have to bend on. Everyone deserves a decent shower. Yikes! Did you take it back? What did you get in it's place?

Yikes! Not really "Green" if it doesn't take anything off and you have to spend extra time running the water is it?

I so would have returned it immediately as well! Here's to number 4 being the charm!
