    I find this interesting because everyone I know with the ability to change it has those. I would too if my apartment let me change the damn shower head.

    Cuz like… If you ended up in a house with this monstrosity, it looks like you’d have to remodel the entire shower since it doesn’t have normal shower heads.

      I always change my apartment shower head when I move in to a nice handheld one and when I move out I put the shitty renters one back on. The landlord doesn’t need to know any different.

      Do it anyway and keep the apt head in a baggie somewhere. That’s what I did for like 5 yrs when I lived in an apartment because those heads are fucking trash

      I would never advise you to go against your tenant contract. That would be wrong and a trespass against your landlord. I would be willing to tell you that mine took about 20 minutes to install and uninstall, most of which was spent getting upset at myself for getting it wet while I still needed to screw some bits in.

      But I’ve mostly seen people looking for the water wall because it seems “luxurious.” It’s immensely stupid, style over substance.

      Nah, just replace one of the heads. At least based on my experience.

      My house came with a shower that’s not the same as this, but similarly themed. There is one showerhead where you’d expect one in a standard shower, then four on the front wall. It’s not a surrounding experience like in the post but, again, a similar theme.

      When I bought the house it just had a fixed outlet for each one. I share the apparently common opinion that that’s unacceptable - if you are able you should give yourself a handheld shower head. Admittedly the handle that controls the four wall heads I mentioned hasn’t been connected at least since I bought the place, but the shower head I replaced just required unscrewing the old one and putting a new one in.

      The control system in the one in the photo looks to be a bit more … Digital, but at least the pipe hookups are probably separated.
