How to install showerhead from different water source location?

[zoov]

This is my current shower head set up.

I'm thinking of installing the new showerhead below. But just figured out that this is based on the water source (arrowhead) on the top. Is there a way to redirect my current set up so I can install the new one below?

Is this even possible? Or I have to find another showerhead that is similar to my current one?

Thanks

Hello @zoov 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your showerhead location.

It's a very nice rain head shower set. I'm sorry but the inlet for a lot these types of units is from the top post. When water enters the post, it goes directly to either the rain head or handheld shower head depending on where the diverter switch is pointed to.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of rain head showers are configured in this manner. Your options are to either engage a plumber and have them move the water outlet or get an ordinary shower rail such as the Flexispray Pulsar 5 Function Rail Shower WELS 3 Star 9L/min.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks!! Sounds like I have to change to the similar style water inlet from the bottom as per your suggestion...

I thought there might be a diverter I can put instead.

Otherwise A plumber cost and potentially breaking into the tiling too. 

Thanks
