My plumber friend advised me in addition to this, when head removed to also twist the elbow pipe 180° pointing upward and dump a bottle of Lime-Away down and let sit overnight. Next morning revert elbow to original downward direction turn on faucets and watch all the blockage shoot out in seconds.
I would just add for those of you as technically challenged as I am, you can also fill a small sturdy baggie about 2/3 w vinegar, slip it over the head that remains in place attached to pipe (I was unable to unscrew the head off), I then wrapped water proof tape around shower pipe & bag, then also tied thick string to secure. The entire shower head was immersed for 24 hrs and is once again giving a full flow of water. Thank you for the vinegar tip!
Why have you imprisoned fish? That's so mean.
Not only does this save money with cleaning it, it helps to keep unnecessary waste out of a landfill. Appreciate these helpful cleaning hacks.
Vinegar is a must-have in my home! It is also great to unclog drains & toilets, when used with baking soda!! 1C vinegar & 1/2 C baking soda. Let sit for 20 min, then pour boiling water down drain or toilet. I swear by this stuff!
If you don't have TFE paste or Teflon tape, wrap the threads (clockwise) on the shower arm (pipe on wall) with about 12" of dental floss before reinstalling the shower head. Works fine to eliminate leak at threads.
Oh no thats not just calcium, its floruide, heavy metals, rust, clormine, etc , get a shower filter everyone
So this is what bathing in mineral water is like. FANTASTIC.....the wall is also taking a bath.
A 80z of Coca Cola will do the trick.
This guy is penny counting like the dad in Everybody Hates Chris, lol! Good job though!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video even with no ads! I figured to use vinegar but it’s nice to have confirmation!
Awesome, nice and simple.THANKS!! Every penny saved counts!
Looks fantastic! Safe, cheap, environmentally friendly and inspiring. I'd happily rent from a caring Landlord like yourself. Well-done.
I use white table vinegar to clean the rust off metal and have a gallon that I've used many times. I will now use this vinegar that I've used like a dozen times for this. Thanks!
Thank you I was having showerhead drama. Little bit of vinegar cured jt.
Great video. Vinegar is cheap and also great for rust on chrome and tools. Also tooth brushes are amazing gentle cleaning tools which I use all the time.
Thank you. Most plastic shower head connections use a rubber washer instead of Teflon tape. Yours is obviously missing the washer and hence, you'll have to use the tape. If using the washer, lightly hand tighten only to avoid deformity the washer (if it leaks, hand tighten until it stops).
i WAS SKEPTICAL but did it anyway and it worked exactly as you show in your video. Thank you very much for sharing this information
Thanks 🙏🏻 going to do this tonight 👌
Dude I have the same shower heard, it works awesome in AZ we battle with this type all the time
