Plumbing Question - Showers in Eurpoe
Two Bit Trigger Pumping Moron Started conversation Jul 1, 2018
I just moved into an apartment that has a bathtub, with a shower curtain, and no shower head. It has two faucets, which I understand is common in Britain, but I've never seen it in the US. Is there a name of some kind of adapter I can order so we can take a shower? My Google skills are failing me.

If the apartment is rented, disregard the following:
Those things are great for washing dogs. Humans, not so much. If you can, get an electric shower installed. You'll be glad you did...

When we visited the UK zone in 2007, I had never heard of an electric shower. That first morning at a B & B in Chelmsford was "refreshing" to say the least. 
Stepping out of the wet machine, I saw this pull-chord from the ceiling . . .
Once you get the hang of them, they do work a charm.

If you are in London you aren't far from a Robert Dyas
The 2nd one is loads more expensive but way more likely to stay attached since it has a pair of kinky little straps.

We're in an apartment in the South Pacific. I'd love to swing by London sometime, but it may be a bit.
I appreciate the suggestions. I've never heard of an electric shower.

Sorry. I misunderstood. I rather assumed that you were in Eurpoe.
