$4 Pressure

• May 17th, 2006 • • how-to, screen printing, supplies •

A while back, I made a mod for my shower to wash out screens. Well, the whole things works pretty good, but for stubborn photo emulsion, I need more pressure! I wanted to use some sort of garden hose jet as most cheap shower heads just don’t have the blast-your-skin-off kind of pressure I want. Here’s a simple fix I did to add more power!

1) Purchased a 1/2″ to 3/4″ adapter and a ordinary garden hose jet attachment for about $4 at the store. (All showerheads are 1/2″ and garden hose fittings are 3/4″.)

---

2) Screw them into existing fitting thusly, and viola you have more pressure.

For this, there is obviously more splash-back, but I can live with that.

   Wow, that’s pretty cool. I can’t say I understand WHY you’re making all these modifications to your shower, even after reading the original shower-mod post… I just assume it has something to do with washing stuff. Stubborn laundry stains, perhaps? I don’t know. *sigh* You artsy types with your “screens” and your “photo emulsion” - mere mortals have no idea what these things mean. At any rate, kudos for being one of the handiest people I know, and for adding some definate bling to your shower setup. That gold nozzle is pimp!

   Ya got me. I really need to change this blog to “Pimp My Shower.”
