# How to install the ShowerStar?

ShowerStar fits almost any shower using the mounting cradle and two zip ties in the box. No tools, no plumber, and about two minutes from unboxing to your first tracked shower.

Which guide you need depends on what your shower looks like above the handset.

## Find your shower type

- **A flexible hose** running from the wall to a handset you can lift off: [How do I install my ShowerStar on a flexible pipe?](https://touchgrid.com/knowledge-base/install-showerstar-flexible-pipe?hsLang=en-au)
- **A rigid rail** that the handset slides up and down: [How do I install my ShowerStar on a rigid shower rail?](https://touchgrid.com/knowledge-base/how-to-install-showerstar-rigid-pipe?hsLang=en-au)
- **A fixed showerhead** on a solid arm from the wall or ceiling: [How do I install the ShowerStar on a showerhead?](https://touchgrid.com/knowledge-base/how-do-i-install-the-showerstar-on-a-showerhead?hsLang=en-au)

## What is the same in every shower

1. Charge the device and switch it on before you mount it.
2. Choose the cradle that matches your pipe and hold it with the rounded end pointing down.
3. Feed one zip tie through the upper slot and the second through the lower slot.
4. Hold the cradle against the pipe, wrap both ties around it and lock each one.
5. Pull both ties tight so the cradle cannot slide when the water is running, then trim the ends.

## Before you start

Give the device its first charge and switch it on, see [How do I charge my ShowerStar?](https://touchgrid.com/knowledge-base/how-to-charge-showerstar?hsLang=en-au). If you are wondering whether you need a trade, you do not: [Do I need a plumber to install ShowerStar?](https://touchgrid.com/knowledge-base/do-i-need-plumber-showerstar?hsLang=en-au)
