We purchased the Rinse Ace to wash our two large dogs. Fundamentally, this product provides a great foundation for dog washing at home - good water pressure, long hose for reach, ability to stop water flow, variable flow patterns, and light weight to reduce fatigue when washing multiple dogs. Installation was quick and easy, if the product fits well. I was impressed that the unit came with Teflon tape. However, the product is not perfect (diverter fit). I did not take a way a star and I will explain why below.
Now on the installation/fit - The Rinse Ace comes with the hose, diverter, shower head, and Teflon tape. You first remove the existing shower head and clean off the old Teflon tape. Then apply some new tape to the shower threading on the wall shower mount (coming from the wall) and screwing the diverter to the wall mount. Next you apply Teflon tape to the threading on the diverter and screw on the previous shower head. At this point you can shower as you did before. The last step is the insert the hose extension, which you could use to wash dogs or people. This is done by pushing the hose into the slots in the side of the diverter and turning the hose until it locks into place - all very simple to this point.
Where problems can occur is with the diverter, which is a plastic unit. I would have preferred a metal unit, but it seems sufficient thus far. I would worry about durability if I need to install and uninstall repeatedly. I installed the Rinse Ace into our master shower to begin with. I could not stop a small amount of leak onthe wall side of the diverter despite mutiple installation attempts, cleaning the threading on the wall mount, and single and doubling up the Teflon taping. the shower head side worked perfectly and without leak. Notably, the unit did not lead when the water was turned off. The amount of leak could be described loosely as two drops a second. Not terrible for use while washing dogs, but I did not want to deal with this as a permanent installation issue while the family showered. After washing the dogs (great performance on dog washing). I uninstalled the Rinse Ace and tried to install it in the second bathroom shower. I went through the same installation steps and found a perfect seal with the wall mount - no leak. Hmmm, apparently not all wall mounts are made equally. This makes me believe there is more variability in wall mounts that I had assumed before. I also can't blame a product for not fitting a wall mount perfectly when it apparently can fit some perfectly. I must also assume the company is aware of this and smartly provides Teflon tape to help address this issue - plus one for the company. Interestingly, the shower head in the second shower leaked. I installed the shower head from the first shower while installed in the second shower and there was no leak at all. Apparently not all shower heads are made equally either.
At the end of the day, you will have to try to use this (or other) pet shower extensions and you may or may not get a good fit. You will likely not know based upon reviews as each shower and shower head may not work well with any product. You may also try to use a washer to prevent leak, although this may change your water pressure if not installed correctly.
I recommend this pet shower extension as it has good features at a reasonable price point. Ultimately it fit in my shower and I think with some work in may fit in someone else's.

Also great for human, not only dogs !
I was going on a trip that has a stop for a few days a hotel that didn't had a handled shower head, but just the basic shower instead. It's really annoying when they just have this because in my opinion, you clean yourself better when you can also use a handled shower head (reaches all the places without problem).All I needed to add this shower head to my hotel's bathroom was there in this kit too. They provide the divider, the Teflon tape and of course the hose and handled head. Installation was super easy, and didn't leaked at all once firmly screwed in. Although I have to note that I needed to bring with me an adjustable wrench to get the job done smoothly.Also love the fact that the shower head had 3 different water jet settings which you can set by turning the head toward each of those little logo that indicates you which setting you're on, which was a great plus because I thought this will be a super basic shower head. The lever on the head also allows you to shut off, and turn on again the water as you need. Only down side is that to return using the regular shower head instead of this handled one, you have to unplug it from the divider. I thought that closing the level will be enough to redirect the flow toward the other shower head, but it didn't worked.Over all, for the use I wanted to do with this, I am really happy.
