Shower head jet clogs!

Jan 14, 2004 14 Replies

Someone was asking a few weeks ago about problems with jets clogging up with scale in shower heads and having to clear them regularly....



Netto are selling on Monday 18th, what looks very much like the rubber jetted type of shower head, which you can quickly clean out with a wipe of your thumb. £3.99


Otherwise, remove the head and soak the working end in vinegar overnight.

Sounds painful ;-)

Unfortunately we don't have a Netto within 25 miles, and their web site didn't return anything when I searched for "shower".

It will be listed under special offers on their website.

I use Tesco Toilet limescale Remover Just pour it into the hose end, Leave it over night.

Very useful when you are taking a shower at 6am and discover that maybe the shower head needs a decoke.

I like the rubber nipples idea (....just waiting for the corny jokes to arrive....).

But it doesn't *suddenly* get blocked, does it? It builds up over a period of time!

....and as with all things suddenly you notice it at 6am, whilst in a desparate rush to get out.

What I used to find with the standard shower jets was that the accumulation would slowly build up, then one bright morning it would prove impossible to get a proper shower. Now I just run a thumb over the jets with the water running and they as good as new.

We've already done those in a separate thread and IIRC with the Beanlady in the same sentence. Shudder.... doesn't bear thinking about...

Quick rant here.

When I google foe netto uk, why is it the first five hits, and most of the first page, are for lists ABOUT netto.

Woss goin on that now you can't find anything for the b****s who've also found it and are listing it for you so you can't find it any more?

Driving me nutty.... Grrrrrr
