Question

How often should a shower head be replaced?

Answer 1

i wouldn't replace one until the old one needed to be replaced or until you needed a change in decor, whichever came first.

Answer 2

Honey, shower heads only need to be replaced depending on your personal needs, otherwise they last virtually forever.

1. If your shower head is clogged with hard water deposits, you may opt  to replace it instead of hassling with cleaning it.

2. If you have remodeled your house or simply want a new look in the bathroom, getting a new shower head might be something you want to do

3. If you want a shower head that has complex water pattern sprays instead of just spraying a simple water pattern, then of course this is when you'll be in the market for a new shower head too.

4. If you want a shower head that is more miserly with water, then you may want to get a different one for this reason too.

Answer 3

A shower head doesn't have to be replaced at any given time.

What is the reason for replacement?  Is it broken?  Does it spray?  Are you not happy with it?  Need more info!
