We have begun making updates to our master bathroom. We switched out the dark granite countertops for a white, almost grey granite to lighten up the space and we are looking for the right faucets. I want to update the dark tile in the coming months to a white tile. My husband has been asking for a handheld showerhead for years. and we came across a new option that has instantly transformed our shower into a spa-like experience. Keep reading to learn including details on how to install handheld showerhead.

I was worried that installing a new showerhead would require a plumber. With our kitchen remodel just complete, I didn’t want to have a plumber out to the house again. I was amazed at how easy it was to install this new showerhead from hansgrohe, a leading manufacturer of innovative and design-focused bathroom faucets and shower products. This is going to be the shortest how to install handheld showerhead ever:
- Unscrew existing showerhead.
- Screw in pivotal connection along with filter packing
- Attach hose
- Attach showerhead
It’s that easy! It took us less than five minutes to update our shower to a wonderful, relaxing spa-like retreat. One step inside and the innovative showerhead produces microfine droplets of water with a “cocoon” effect around the body, creating a “full rain” shower experience. My husband chuckled at me when I told him the showerhead was supposed to be amazing, and after trying it out he agreed that is it a different experience, much more like a five-star hotel shower but in the comfort of our home. One of the reasons it feels so different is that water enriched with air makes the water droplets plumper, lighter and softer…and they are just that!
I’m all about trying to fit in a little self-care throughout the week. As busy as we’ve been throughout moving and now renovating, it’s easy to become completely depleted and some days I’ve felt exhausted with all that we are managing right now. This new shower has given me just the relaxation I needed! I used to opt for a bubble bath, but now just standing under this amazing handheld shower is just what I need after a long day of work and taking care of my babies!
The PowderRain has a push button that includes three settings, RainAir, WhirlAir, and Rain. All three are glorious! The WhirlAir helped relax my shoulder muscles that are typically sore. The Rain setting is great for shampooing, and the RainAir setting is wonderful too. It’s also made to envelope the body so as to reduce splashing, which is great for the full glass showers like mine. I also noticed that it is much quieter, which makes the overall shower experience that much more relaxing! It also covers a much wider area, so it’s made shampooing my long hair much easier.
Another note for the busy person like me, it’s easy to clean! Just rub the surface of the shower head to remove dirt and limescale deposits. You can easily purchase your PowderRain showerhead here. I hope this how to install handheld showerhead was helpful! You’ll have to let me know if you install this showerhead and what you think about it! I know you’ll be a huge fan too.

I love this type of showerhead! Thanks for a great example of how easy it can be to install!
Thank you, it’s super easy!
I’ve always wanted a handheld shower head and this looks simple enough!! Going to do it soon!
Yes it was so simple!
Wow that was easy! I love a good handheld shower head!
Yes, haha, it was!
This is so helpful. Having a tutorial for installing a shower head is super helpful. I love the one you selected too.
Thank you!
Girl!!! my shower head just broke! This is something I really need to do, and I really like the flat surface of this one. Also, my son (before it broke) found out he can stand under the shower, turn the knob, and let it message your shoulders, so we definitely have to get another one like that. Thanks for sharing
You need this one!
I love this type of showered & don’t have one so this is great to know. Can you get this type with a water softener built in?
That does sound incredibly easy to install. And I love the look of the shower head. So sleek, plus all those different water streams. Hubby and I have very different preferences for water when we shower, so that would be perfect.
It really is such a great, sleep look!
Such a great post. I’ve been thinking about getting one and this was sooooo helpful
I’m so glad!
That looks maybe too easy to install it. WhirlAir setting sounds wonderful, I would have to use that on my back.
Thank you, yes it was so easy!
Wow, that was so simple after all! We actually need to replace both showerheads in both of our bathrooms. I’ve been putting it off for my husband to do one weekend, but that is so simple I could do it myself without making a mess!
Yes you can absolutely do it yourself!
That’s such a beautiful shower head! Thanks for the great tips, I always wondered how difficult it would be to change out this piece myself. 🙂
Thank you!
