Shower head simple query

[LadyHomeLover]

My shower has a "star" head like this:

and I want to replace it with a square one like this:

Are the pipes/fittings universal on these things and do the heads pull on and off easily? Or do I need a plumber to change it?

Apologies for dumb questions.

The one in the link say`s it has an 1/2" thread and looking at your current one is that a nut I see just above the star head and below the arm?
Sometimes those drench heads don`t perform very well due the pressure & flow of the water and people are disappointed.

"star" head like this:

whats wrong with the octopus arms shower fitment

as mentioned by just pumps ^ it could have a 1/2 inch fitting.Just to add ts worth looking at the actual shower head in question

good news,There are plenty of shower heads available,its often possible to improve poor shower performance with a new head.

Thanks, lads for your replies.

The octopus doesn't give much water output and it's not wide enough, so I am glad to hear that its often possible to improve poor shower performance with a new head.

I think I had better ask a plumber to take a look in person.

doesn't give much water output and it's not wide enough,

Those fixed overhead shower heads need a very good constant water supply,have in the past fitted these alternative shower heads (below,is a guide.others are available) to provide more of a jet and can be slightly angled towards the user.
Not as blinghy as already mentioned but the available water is forced is provided where its required

Cheers, Old&Cold.

I don't want one like that. I want one with more holes and more area of coverage.

Don't make the mistake of form over function... The larger the head and the more holes the more pressure and flow required for it to perform at peak output... How is the shower supplied? What system do you have to supply hot and cold water to the property? Its all relevant to shower performance.
