Water, Water, Everywhere | Showering Enthusiast

When In Rome:

… The shower is one of those rectangular boxes that has two panels that slide together to close it off, sealing the water inside. The shower head is one of those on a hose that you can take of the mount on the wall.

The problem arose halfway through last week, when the seal around the shower head started leaking on the left side. That meant that the majority of water was coming through the shower head like normal, but there was a heavy spray shooting directly left from the showerhead. If the showerhead wasn’t angled quite right the rogue water would hit the wall and spray up over the shower. No good for our clothes, towels, or mold problem.

So, as a solution we angled the showerhead down and in so the water spray stayed in the shower stall. Problem solved. Until… Monday. I jumped in the shower after my run and turned on the water. Only a trickle was coming through the mainshower head. But instead of the one spray going left, there was another one of greater pressure shooting directly opposite. It has the similar effects of placing your thumb over a running hose and causing the water to release with much more intensity and distance. Unfortunately, this distance equalled the walls of the bathroom. It was a shortlived shower and I decided a maintenance request was in order.

This evening I came home and noticed the bathroom light still on. I looked inside and noticed the walls were wet. That’s when I saw a note on the table in the main room written on a napkin that read, “I bring a new showerhead for you tomorrow afternoon. See you, Marco”. Apparently Marco turned on the shower and found our sprinkler system did not, in fact, provide any water in a location that was feasable to take a shower. In the meantime, it provides something humorous that you can really only say “when in Rome” to.
