At the end of a long day, few things feel better than using a massaging shower head on your neck, shoulders and scalp. The hot water pounding on you can relax your muscles and prepare your body for a good night’s sleep. A massaging shower head isn’t expensive, and you can install it yourself with a few simple tools. Step 1: First you have to remove the old shower head. Use a chair or stool in your shower so you’re at a good angle to work on the shower head. Try a crescent or adjustable wrench first to loosen the nut holding on the old shower head by turning it to the left. If the nut is too tight or is held on with calcium build-up, you’ll have to use Vise-Grips to remove it. If you do this, be very careful to twist only the nut, not the shower arm. You do not want to break off the shower arm. Step 2: Use a cleaner and a small brush to clean the threads on the shower arm. Remove as much residue and build-up as possible. Let it dry thoroughly. Step 3: Wrap the threads of the shower arm with plumber’s tape. Most new shower heads include plumber’s tape in the package, but don’t skip this step even if you have to buy a roll of tape separately. Step 4: The next steps may vary somewhat based on your individual model of massaging shower head. Be sure to read and follow all package directions. In most cases, you’ll slide a washer onto the shower arm, followed by the shower head. Be careful to line up the threads on the shower head nut with the threads on the shower arm. If they don’t line up right, your shower head will leak. Step 5: Use a wrench to tighten the nut on the shower head. If it starts going crooked, loosen it and try again. Step 6: When the nut is fully tightened, turn the shower on and inspect the shower head carefully for any leaks around the nut. If you find a leak, turn the shower off, dry the shower head and tighten the nut further. If that doesn’t fix the problem, you may have to remove the shower head, add more plumber’s tape and screw the shower head on again.
May be build up in the valve itself or the shower head.
With proper care it should not. However any shower head can have hard water build up with out the proper cleaning.
An electric shower head water heater works by using electricity to heat the water as it flows through the shower head. When you turn on the shower, the water passes through a heating element inside the shower head, which warms it up before it comes out of the nozzle. This provides a continuous supply of hot water for your shower.
It's usually due to a combination of two things: back pressure from the shower head, aggravated by the newer low-flow shower heads, acting against a slight leak at the diverter valve. I find that it gets worse after I've been away for a few days and assume that there's scale build-up in both places... the shower head and the diverter. You can try using a descaling solution on the shower head and/or checking that the diverter valve is seating properly and possibly greasing its seat with some silicone grease.
