After deciding on what type of water softener shower head suits you, some people consider attaching it to an existing hose. There are different methods of doing so (depending on the model) but they all involve using fittings and adapters to make the unit fit tightly together.
The easiest way would be to attach a male connector with a 90-degree elbow pipe which will allow you to position your device at any length needed. We advise against using tape since this can cause permanent damage.
