SparkPod 11" Extension Arm, Adjustable Height & Angle, Polished Chrome

It came on a Wednesday after a long, trying day at work. Coronavirus blues had me down too so I was thinking shower as soon as I came through the front door. What's this? A box. I opened it to find the shower kit that I ordered from Amazon. Meh! I was too tired to install this and I really wanted a shower now. As I turned to walk away, I glanced the box photo for the shower head and paused. I then glanced the same for the extension arm and the filter housing. In a flash, I realized that I had installed many a shower head in my time and new in that moment that I could install this in 10 minutes. Now I was challenging myself and I would accept that challenge. I ordered the high pressure "rain" shower head, the 11" extension arm, and the filter housing with cartridge all by Spark Pod. All came in color photo boxes, wrapped in a clear plastic bag within, with complete sets of instructions, and with extra seals and strainers. All packaging was appropriate and clean with no visible flaws. I started by removing the old shower head and then cleaning the old Teflon plumbers tape from the shower stem that protrudes from the wall. You may need a crescent wrench for removal if it's on really tight. This took less than 2 minutes. The old one went right in the trash. Next I would attached the filter housing to the shower stem after applying Teflon plumber's tape to all exposed threads. I did this by hand with no tools. The housing easily threaded on to the plumber's tape coated threads. Be sure there is a rubber o-ring in the housing stem. You should also have a filter screen at the next connection point to the extension arm which will attach to the already installed filter housing. Attaching both of these parts took me under 3 minutes by hand (no tools). By the way there should be a filter cartridge inside the housing already. The housing easily unscrews by hand revealing the hollow interior that holds the cartridge. Finally you will add the shower head to the extension arm. Again make sure you have applied plumber's tape to the exposed threads. Also be sure that each connection point has an o-ring. There will also be another mesh filter screen where the arm connects with the shower head. This took me another 2 minutes with no tools. One more minute to make sure every connection was hand tight after turning on the shower to check for flow and leaks. I had a very slight leak at the filter housing on first check so I gave it a little more twist by hand and that leak disappeared. 5 days later and no leaks. If you want a faster flow, you will have to remove a restricter ring from the shower head. You will have to remove the rubber o-ring from the open connection end. You can do this with a set of tweezers easily enough. If you then turn the open connection end down the plastic restricter ring should fall right out. If it's stuck in the threads it should come out easily with the tweezers. Removing this ring will increase the flow from the shower head. So, I am not plumber and I was able to remove and install this 3-piece shower set in about 10 minutes. I am guessing that most would feel it is worth it if it were to take them 20 - 30 minutes. How's the shower? It's like bathing under a waterfall compared to the old shower head. The added range of adjustment from the extension arm makes me forget about wanting a removable head attached to a hose. The additional benefits of the filter should mean less potential toxins and more nutrients for my shower. So if you need an economical shower head, that's easy-to-install and gives a great shower, I highly recommend this.

We replaced our shower head with the SparkPod, and got this long extension arm to add some distance between the wall and the spray. See my review of the shower head - it was a happy find! The Extension Arm adjusts easily to the direction of the spray, it stays in place and there are no leaks. As I said in that review, it took less than 5 minutes to install everything, and it works like a charm. I highly recommend both products.

This is a great product if you're using a very light shower head. If your shower head has any kind of weight to it, getting the joints tightened and keeping them in place can be problematic. You honestly have to get a wash rag and wrap it around the joint and use pliers to gently tighten it harder than you could do by hand or you may get brained by a shower head in the morning which is unpleasant. Ask me how I know.

I was pleased with this purchase. It came with Teflon tape, washers etc and was easy to fit. The only slightly confusing thing, it has an additional "adapter" which the instructions don't specifically mention but all the pics I found when zoomed in showed the adapter fitted.. so I used it anyway. The Teflon tape they provide is good quality stuff. I've used cheap brands which stretch thin etc but the supplied worked great. I like that the 11" pipe I purchased was solid metal. It was used to replace a plastic chromed one which in fairness was well over 10 years old.. I had tried to adjust it recently and the whole thing literally fell apart from water erosion. So I wanted a full metal replacement. The two adjusters on this new unit are also very sturdy. You don't need to loosen them much to be able to adjust the pipe's angle and you don't need to use a lot of effort to tighten them either. Neither leaks by just hand tightening. Overall very pleased with quality of the pipe and fittings, easy to fit and looks great.

Easy to install, exactly what we needed ...

Helped us greatly in enjoying the shower head from this same company. Thank you!!!!

Excellent quality and works just what it says…

Perfect, raises the showerhead so it's actually above my head. The fittings are well-designed, so installing it at the correct angle wasn't a problem. No leaks.

Cumple su función, fácil instalación se ve bien, no ha fallado. Y aun así cada que lo ves no terminas de preguntarte, ¿por qué pague tanto por ese tubito? Me costó casi lo mismo que la regadera de la misma marca. Por eso no me cuadra el precio del tubo. Pero funciona y se ve como producto premium, al menos.

Me gustó este producto porque satisfizo las necesidades que tenía. Tiene varias ventajas, entre las cuales puedo decir su facilidad de instalación y la posibilidad de extender la distancia de la regadera, porque permite adecuarlo a las necesidades particulares. Es un producto excelente.

Really easy to install, make a great difference in a small shower

Bon rapport qualité/prix. Facile d’installation. Convient parfaitement à mon besoin. Je le recommande fortement!
