I bought my house a year ago. It has a beautiful rain shower that is now leaking. There are no labels on it anywhere. Does anyone know which company makes this shower head? Photos attached.
I would go to Home Depot or Lowes and look for one like it and get manf. info there.
Are you looking to repair? Many times a leak is from something just coming loose and all it needs is a little teflon tape and tightening.
The name may not be on the head or the chrome piping leading to it. Also look on the faucett housing and the knobs or levers. If there are no names or any type of identifying numbers then I might have to assume it was a no name cheap Chinese made piece of junk. If this is the case they are normally unrepairable.
Like BarkingSpider said, take a look at Home Depot or Lowes or whatever the closest home improvement store near you. Chances are very high that whoever put that shower head in bought it from the nearest place to your home. If you find it in these stores then it is likely they have parts for it. Parts meaning washers or seat which is about the only replaceable parts there is on any faucett.
It appears to be a rainhead made by Aqua Brass. We have had many problems with those style heads. They seem to pit,leak around the o ring seal, and are hard to keep clean. I would recommend this as a replacement
Grohe Product Catalog (http://www.grohecatalog.com/product/27135/ - broken link)
it will cost a little more but will last and is easy to keep clean.
To extend the life of showers and water heaters, get a whole house water filtration system. If that's too expensive then you can get a shower mounted water filter.
ESplumbing, is it possible to just replace the rain shower head I have now with the grohe one or do I have to buy a whole new unit?
also, how can you tell it's an aqua brass? I looked on their website and didn't see any pics that looked like my shower head.
anxious to hear from you...
You should be able to remove that head from the arm and install another to that arm. It looks like an older head as most of the new ones have the speed clean anti-lime system built in(rubber nozzles that you rub you fingers over while the water is on) keeps the spray nozzles clean.
