What a helpful guide . And Wow! I couldn’t help but notice some phenomenal hand modeling. Those hands are going places that’s for sure!

Just to add to that as not all fittings are the same. If a hand held shower head, or a fixed shower head or electric shower - your shower is most probably suitable to fit a shower filter.
