What causes the water to go up to the shower head?
The water running through the pipe creates the pressure needed to force the water up to the shower head because it has nowhere else to go. The diverter valve turns within the pipe, blocking off the tub faucet forcing the water upward through the pipe to the shower. As tub diverter valves age, they become worn.
What should I consider when choosing a shower head?
Water needs to be directed away from fixtures and lighting in the room. The spray radius should be considered when choosing your fixture.

How do you fix a loose shower head?

Is it possible to move a shower stall?
Relocating a shower stall involves a major remodel of the bathroom, and it isn’t a weekend project; in fact, simply removing the stall from its old location could easily take the whole weekend.

Can you move a tub in a shower?
This can only be accomplished if the existing shower surround or tile is removed and there is access to the shower stall framing. Older homes will have copper pipes for hot and cold water supply lines, while newer ones may have CPVC tubing. Either can be used when moving supply lines in the wall.
