Leaking Faucet? Here’s How to Fix It Quickly

Shower heads can easily become clogged or leak after prolonged use. So how do you handle a leaking shower head? Let’s take a detailed look together!

How to Handle a Leaking Shower Head:

1. If the shower head and water pipe joint have a slight leak and the water flow is minimal, it might be due to mineral buildup blocking the shower head. You need to use a needle to clear out the blockage hole by hole to restore normal function.

2. If the joint is loose or the water pipe is aging, you should re-tighten the joint or replace the old water pipe to prevent further leaks.

3. If the sealing gasket at the joint is aging, it needs to be replaced with a new gasket.

4. If water is leaking from the shower head cover, first remove the cover, then check if the gasket inside is misaligned or worn out, and make the necessary adjustments or replacements.

How to Disassemble a Broken Shower Head:

1. Although there are many types of shower heads, their mechanisms are generally similar. Most can be easily unscrewed by hand in a counterclockwise direction with a bit of force.

2. There are two common types of shower heads available in the market: one that can adjust the water flow and another that cannot. The adjustable shower head is easier to disassemble; simply grip it tightly and rotate it counterclockwise or clockwise to open it. The non-adjustable shower head is usually welded with plastic and cannot be disassembled, so you would need to replace it entirely.

3. Generally, there is a round cover in the center of the shower head. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the cover, then you will see the screws. At this point, choose the appropriate screwdriver based on the type of screw to disassemble it.

Things to Note When Disassembling a Shower Head:

When disassembling the shower head, avoid using excessive force. If you still have the manual, follow it for disassembly instructions. If the manual is not available, you may try disassembling it yourself; however, if you cannot disassemble it easily, it is best to call a professional to avoid causing further damage.
