Things You Should Know About Low-Flow Shower Heads

An ultra-low-flow shower head can save many gallons of water but can clog just as easily as a standard shower head.

• Remove the head from the shower arm with a small pipe wrench or if the head has flats, use an adjustable wrench.
• The inlet side has no screen to clog, but when you unscrew the front of the unit and pull the head off, you'll find and O-ring and disc inside.
• A small pick can pull out the O-ring if it doesn't fall out; the disc will fall out right after. Do not lose them.
• Clean out the holes if they have debris in them. A small pick or needle will crush any iron or lime clogging the holes.
• Shake out any residue. To reassemble the unit, drop the disc into the shower head end, and then drop the little O-ring on top of that.
• Twist the shower end clockwise on the base until it's snug. No tools are needed.
