What to Do When Your Shower Head Lacks a Water Supply Valve

If you sometimes buy a new showerhead at home and find that the showerhead doesn't have a water inlet valve，what should you do in this situation？ Let’s take a look together。

一、What to do if the showerhead doesn’t have a water inlet valve

When the showerhead at home lacks a water inlet valve，installing a solar valve core can solve the water supply problem。When the valve core handle is turned upward，the three outlets of the mixed water outlet close。The original cold water inlet maintains its original function，but the function of the original hot water inlet changes。In this way，the cold water from the pipe can be directly supplied to the solar water tank upstairs，allowing for water supply。

二、What are the reasons for having no water from the showerhead？

1、If the showerhead doesn't produce water while showering，it might be clogged due to long-term use。If the water in your home is too alkaline，it is prone to breeding impurities，which can clog the holes in the showerhead and result in low water flow。

2、It may also be due to a water supply interruption。Check if the water supply has been cut off。If there is no water，there is little you can do。You can open a nearby faucet to see if any water comes out，and check if the main water valve is closed。Additionally，if the shower hose is kinked，the pipe may be blocked and unable to deliver water。The appearance of kinks during the use of protective water pipe medication not only affects the appearance but can also cause leaks。

3、Clogging of the spray head may also occur，which can be caused by long-term use。The spray head is susceptible to being clogged by residual water stains and debris，especially when the spray is very fine。

三、How to resolve issues with the showerhead not producing water

1、The first method is to purchase a bottle of cleaning agent from the supermarket to remove dirt and detach the showerhead。Soak it in the cleaning solution and clean it thoroughly; this method usually works quite well。

2、The second method is also very simple。Soak the small holes of the showerhead in some vinegar for about 20 minutes，then rinse with water to remove any residual vinegar。

3、The third method is，if the first two methods do not resolve the issue，you may need to consider replacing the showerhead altogether。

In summary，if your showerhead lacks a water inlet valve，installing a solar valve core can resolve the water supply issue。When encountering problems with water flow from the showerhead at home，it’s important to take the appropriate measures to resolve it。
