Is water leaking from the top of your rainhead? This common issue is caused by limescale buildup on the rubber nozzles, which can block water flow and redirect it to unintended areas.


For a quick and easy visual guide to resolving water flow issues, please watch the attached video at the bottom of this email. 


Step 1: Understand the Cause

The primary culprit for water leaking from the top of a rainhead is mineral buildup, commonly known as limescale. Over time, the minerals in your water can accumulate on the rubber nozzles, disrupting the flow of water.


Step 2: Clean the Rubber Nozzles

  1. Inspect the Nozzles: Check for visible signs of limescale or blockages on the rubber nozzles of your rainhead.

  2. Rub the Nozzles: Use your fingers or a soft cloth to gently rub the rubber nozzles. This action helps dislodge any loose limescale deposits.

  3. Perform a Deep Clean: If stubborn buildup remains, prepare a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar. Soak the nozzles in this solution for about 2-5 minutes to dissolve the minerals.


Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

After cleaning, rinse the rainhead thoroughly with water to ensure all debris and vinegar residue are removed.


Step 4: Regular Maintenance

Prevent future issues by incorporating regular cleaning into your routine. Frequent maintenance not only extends the life of your rainhead but also ensures it performs optimally.


Additional Tips

  • Consider using a water softener if you live in an area with hard water to minimize limescale buildup.


By following these steps, you can easily fix and prevent water leakage from the top of your rainhead, ensuring a relaxing and uninterrupted shower experience.
