Review on 🚿 AquaSense 770-980 Handheld Shower Head with Hose - White, 3-Setting: Improving SEO by Grace Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Use Permatex No. 2!

Works as expected and overall good quality. One of the problems many people face is the plastic "nut" mount on the [metal] shower pipe. Manufacturers provide a small roll of Teflon tape to apply to the threads of the metal shower pipe to seal the feed. DO NOT USE! Go to an auto parts store and buy Permatex #2 Form-A-Gasket Sealant, a very thick thread sealant. Apply a good coat to either the metal shower pipe threads or the internal plastic part of the Aqua-Sense. Then hand-tighten; You will find how easy it is to insert the female plastic adapter without stressing the plastic part. Permatex provides a watertight seal much sooner than Teflon tape and with much less stress on the plastic female part. When Hayward recommended using Permatex #2 to install a pool pump valve, it was immediately apparent how superior it was to Teflon tape or any other type of thread sealant, especially when using plastic threaded parts. female plastic pipe parts, like here. So use Permatex No. 2 and be happy.
