So I got a new shower head. I installed it. Now, installing a shower head is like the easiest thing on the planet to do. Everything fits together, just put stuff together and screw it in. Even Capitante could probably figure it out. Well, maybe I guess.
Anyways, so I put it together, very easy. I turned the water on, and I heard it run for a split second, then it stopped. So the water was getting stuck. I traced it all the way down to the piece right before the shower head. Its not getting through that piece.
Below are two pictures, of the bottom of the shower head and the part that screws into it. The first one, with the part with the gray/black washer inside, is the side that screws into that showerhead with the green right there. When I blow into THAT side of it, I can get air to come out the other side. So if water was coming in from the showerhead (reverse flow) it might work.
But the second picture is the side where the water is supposed to flow into. No water flows into it, it is definitely where the stoppage is. When I blow into it no air comes out the other side of course.
All the parts are very good fits, and only fit that way. I cannot turn that part around, it will not fit.
Might anyone have any suggestions? My first inclination is to drill a hole in that white piece right in the middle but I worry that might ruin it (if its not already a flawed product).
Thanks for any help!
