The US EPA WaterSense showerhead label applies to independently certified models rated at no more than 2.0 US gallons per minute (about 7.6 liters per minute) with performance criteria. US labeling does not guarantee compliance with other countries' plumbing codes. Ask a professional if pressure or temperature becomes unstable.

Identify the existing showerhead type and connector dimensions using its manual or manufacturer information.
Compare candidate flow rates and independent certification; consider how the spray works at your water pressure.
Recognize WaterSense as a US program and separately check local standards for installation and water-contact materials.
Turn off the water and avoid hot water before replacement; do not force a seized connector.
Check the washer or O-ring and install according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Run the shower briefly to check leaks, pressure and temperature changes; stop using it if performance becomes unsafe.
