The structure and design principle of the shower

The structure of the shower is mainly divided into two parts: the shower head structure and the special shower structure. Different shower structures have different functions. The general structure of the shower head is divided into two parts: the internal and external parts. The external structure mainly includes threaded joints, body, face cover, water outlet sleeve, screw cover, and control ring. They mainly play the role of fixing the shower head and controlling the water outlet effect of the shower head; the internal structure mainly includes wire mesh, wire mesh frame, water dispersion disc, impeller, water jet disc, and water distribution plate. Their main function is to filter impurities in the water, control the speed of water flow, increase pressure or reduce pressure. The function of the handheld shower hose is to connect the shower head and the fixed bracket or faucet; the wall-mounted shower swivel head mainly connects the shower head and the fixed bracket, and it can rotate at different angles; the special structure of the lifting shower is the lifting rod. Its main function is to fix the shower, adjust the height of the shower up and down, and adjust the spray angle of the shower water.

Tips for cleaning a clogged shower head

1. Tip 1: Use needle puncture. If not all the water holes of the shower are blocked, find the blocked hole, and then prepare a needle to puncture the blocked hole. During the operation, use appropriate force to avoid puncturing the shower hole.

2. Tip 2: Use lubricants. When you find that the shower head at home is seriously clogged, it may be caused by the rust of the metal of the shower head. Needle piercing is no longer effective. At this time, you can use anti-rust lubricants to clean it. Anti-rust lubricants can penetrate into the metal and separate the metal layer from the rust layer.

3. Tip three: Use vinegar wisely. Remove the shower head, pour an appropriate amount of vinegar into a basin, and put the shower head in. The vinegar should be enough to cover the shower head. Soak it for more than ten minutes, then rinse it with clean water.

Can the shower head be unscrewed?

Yes. The shower head and the hose are directly connected by the thread at the bottom of the handle, so when removing it, you only need to slowly unscrew it. Generally, you need to rotate it counterclockwise, and only rotate the shower head.

How to clean the shower head:

The method of cleaning the shower is relatively simple. Generally, after disassembling, you can soak the shower head and parts in water for cleaning. If the dirt is too sticky to clean, add a small amount of vinegar to the water and soak the shower head and parts in the vinegar-water solution for more than an hour to clean the attached dirt.

Sometimes the low water flow is because the shower hole is blocked by dirt. At this time, you can use a needle to dredge and remove the blocked dirt until each shower hole flows smoothly. In addition, for blockages caused by metal rust, you can use a special rust remover to scrub and clean the rust.
