An easy DIY plumbing project that many people can complete on their own is to replace your shower head. Removing your old shower head and replacing it with a new one is simple and fast. There are a variety of prices you can pay for a new shower head. The amount you pay will depend on the feature you select. A good shower head without any fancy bells and whistles can be purchased for approximately ten bucks. 
 
A new fancy shower head with lots of extras can cost several hundred dollars or more. No matter which type of shower head you decide on there will be a few things you need to think about. The first thing you will need to decide is whether you would prefer fixed or hand held shower heads. Fixed shower heads are mounted to your wall and do not move. They will sometimes feature adjustable arms that allow you to change the direction of the water flow. 
 
A hand held shower head will be more versatile. When left in its cradle it works just like a fixed shower head. You can also take it off the cradle and direct the water in the perfect spot. It is great for washing pets or small children. You will save on your water and utility bills if you install a low flow shower head. Not only will you use less water you will use less power to heat the water you use. A shower head with a cut off valve can save you even more money. They let you briefly stop the flow of water while you lather your body or shampoo your hair. There are also shower heads out there which are great if you have low water pressure in your house. These high pressure shower heads make it so the water comes out of the shower head strongly.
