Does the water flow in your shower suddenly escalate to a panifully high temperature when someone turns on the sink or flushes the toilet? If this is a problem in your home, there's any easy way to solve it: Install an anti-scald shower device. This will temporarily cut off the water running from the shower head if it reaches 120 degrees. - First, remove the existing shower head from the shower arm using slip-joint pliers. Wrap tape around the jaws of the pliers before applying pressure to the shower head to avoid scratching the chrome finish.
- Then wrap Teflon tape around the threaded end of the shower arm and screw the anti-scald device in place.
- Now wrap Teflon tape around the threads on the end of the device and screw the shower head onto the taped threads.
