You Do Not Need to be a Plumber in Order to Fix a Showerhead
No matter how often you clean your bathroom and shower area, sooner or later you will have to face a problem which every homeowner in the US and most probably in other countries face. This problem has a name and it is called showerhead. It is strange how, when you first install a shower in your bathroom, you do not relate this word to a problem and how only after a few years you already have to deal with many issues related to it.
The most common problem with showerheads that 89% of property owners experience is clogged showerhead holes. This is a problem which results from the uneven spray of water which leads to mineral deposits from the water. In order to fix this problem, you do not need to call a plumber. Here are a few tips you can follow instead:
-
Unscrew the swivel ball nut with channel-type pliers or an adjustable wrench. Wrap the jaws of the tool you are using to fix the problem with some masking tape before you start
-
Next, you can unscrew the collar nut from the showerhead.
-
In order to proceed, you need to clean all of the showerhead’s outlet and inlet holes. To make this easier and faster, you can use a very thin wire.
-
Use some clean warm water to flush the showerhead once you are done with the cleaning.
-
If you want to get optimal cleaning results, we advise you to fill in a bowl with vinegar, and soak the showerhead overnight. This will surely remove all mineral deposits.
-
When you are done with the cleaning part, you can reassemble the showerhead and enjoy the results.
