That's a good one. My shower head always leaks a little bit.

The one I got from Home Depot leaked just like the shower head/handle button.

So, I went to a regular hardware store and got a lever-type brass shut off valve (Home Depot didn't have it). I installed it at the base of the sprayer hose, just above the on-off valves.

The only other thing needed was a short brass male-to-male coupler because the sprayer hose has a female end and so does the shut off valve. Put some plumber's tape on the threads and that's it. Real easy install.

It works great. It is easy to use and has a solid feel when shutting off the water.

Thats the one I bought for my shower since I upgraded to the oxygenics shower head. It does the job.
