Shower
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010The shower in your mobile home may be a fixed wall type or the flexible variety. In either case, the enjoyment and utility of showering depend on you keeping the shower head clean inside and out.
Periodically remove the spreader from the shower head and scrub it with an old toothbrush. Grit, corrosion, and mineral deposits from the water build up inside, clogging the ports. Clean the ports in
sieve-type shower head with a round wood toothpick.
Look for pressure adjustments on the shower head. On some, tightening or loosening the spreader changes the pressure. Others may have an adjustment lever on the shower head. Make sure the
adjustment is free and easy to turn.
Because they have so many interchangeable accessories and multiple uses, flexible shower heads have grown popular. You can buy the fancy accessories from any good plumbing supplier.
The flexible outfits are easy to clean and maintain. To change shower heads, simply unscrew the coupling nut between the shower head and the flexible hose. Remove the attachment and attach
new one. To replace the hose, unscrew its couplers at the shower head and at the faucet base and insert a new flex tubing.
