No, the shower curtain should not cover the shower head. Ideally, the curtain should hang inside the bathtub or shower stall to prevent water from splashing outside while allowing the shower head to function properly. This setup ensures effective water containment and minimizes the risk of water damage to the bathroom area outside the shower.

What is the flow rate of a showerhead?
It depends on what shower head you have. It is not an exact answer. ANS 2 - The average shower head has a restrictor limiting it to about 2gpm. These can be removed and then you would get about 3 gpm.
What metal shower heads will last the longest?
Shower heads lose their effectiveness when they become clogged with mineral deposits, especially in areas with particularly hard water or well water. Metal shower heads are more prone to corrosion from hard water. You can extend the life of a metal shower head by cleaning it regularly. The best way to do this is to put one to to cups of a 50-50 white vinegar/water solution in a plastic bag. Position the bag so that the shower head is submerged in the vinegar water. Secure the bag with tape to the shower head nozzle. Leave it there overnight to dissolve the mineral deposits in the shower head.

What happens to a shower curtain when a shower is turned on?
Many people have tried to figure out exactly how and why this happens but no one has ever proven their theories conclusively. There are 4 leading theories. The first is the Buoyancy theory. Which says that as the hot air rises, and replaces the cold air, it creates a Coandă effect which is similar to a small vortex of air which sucks the curtain inwards. The second is the Bernoulli effect. This states that the air matches the velocity of the water coming out of the shower-head and lowers the air pressure inside the shower and against the inside of the shower curtain. This results in the shower curtain being pulled inward. The third is a combination of the first two. It's called the Horizontal vortex theory. A computer model showed that the water coming out of the shower-head can create a horizontal vortex (sideways tornado) which causes a pressure drop and pulls in the shower curtain. The fourth and final is simple condensation. A hot shower produces steam that will condenses on the shower side of the curtain and lowering the pressure there. The condensation will be continually replaced causing a temperature fluctuation which results in times where net steam production is negative. So there you have it. Who would have thought such a simple thing still remains partially unproven.
How do you clean a shower head with hard water deposits?
#1: Remove shower head. #2: Place shower head in bowl or bucket large enough to submerge shower head. #3: Fill bowl or bucket with enough cider vinegar to cover shower head. #4: Wait for it. #5: Occasionally test shower head before dumping out vinegar.
Why will a shower curtain fly toward the shower when the shower is running and hang straight down when it is off?
When you have a hot shower steam is generated and, because it is warmer than the surrounding air, it rises. As the steam flows upwards, cooler air flows in to the lower level of the shower. If the shower is not fully enclosed, the steam will flow out the top of the shower area and the cooler air will flow in near the base of the shower. If the air cannot easily get around the curtain, it will push it inwards as it flows past. Ways to address this are:fully enclosing the shower to keep the steam inweighting the curtain basehaving significant gaps beside the curtain to let air inhanging the curtain so it is held against the shower base lip by its own weight by positioning the rail well outside (>100mm beyond) the line of the base. (This will mean that if the curtain swings outside the shower base it will drip on the floor, so needs a high lip to hold the curtain in.)This effect is caused by a small reduction in the air pressure of the column of air that is inside the shower curtain. The reduction is caused by the pressure of the water being sprayed out of the shower head having to drop from a higher pressure towards normal atmospheric air pressure. This effect is known as the Venturi Effect.The air does not quite reach normal atmospheric pressure until it gets out of the column of air formed by the shower curtain. Because that column of air is at a lower pressure than the air outside the curtain, the curtain gets pressed inwards by the higher (but normal) air pressure in the rest of the room.This effect happens the same no matter if the water temperature is hot, medium or cold.
How do I fix my shower faucet?
Remove the shower head and clean out anything that might be blocking it, such as hair or debris. Replace the shower head and turn on the water; the water should be running.

How do you stop water from leaking beside the shower curtain Water runs down the tub surround onto the edge of the tub and onto the floor It is causing damage to the sheetrock next to the surround?
I see this all the time. Shower curtains and shower habits are tough on drywall. The best thing to do would be install a shower door and track that keeps the water in. Understanding that this may not be an option here are a couple other things . 1- make sure the curtain is inside the tub when shower is on. 2-point the shower head toward the other side of the wall when using shower to help spray from splashing outside curtain. 3-they make suction cups that attach to shower curtains that you can keep the curtain tight to the walls to help spray from splashing outside the curtain. 4- You can silicone a plastic strip along the tub wall to help keep water from running outside the tub... 5- make sure it isn't water from your shower valves that is leaking from the wall and running down to the drywall. 6- Purchase a Shower Leak Prevention product like the NoMorWetFloor at www.nomorwetfloor.com
