    Hi Saralee:

    The shower head is not going to be the issue here... the SHOWER VALVE is the culprit.. ;)

    Is there a name on the shower valve.. How many handles at the shower valve?

    Seems most likely that will need to get into the valve and replace a defective washer or cartridge assembly.

    Get back to me with more info.. see what we can come up with... MARK

    Also, note.. may be worth a call to your real estate agent to see if they can get a plumber out to fix this... most will, especially just 48 hrs. post purchase!
