Why Does The Shower Drip?

Sanitary products also have a certain service life. When the shower head is used for a certain time, there will be one or another problems, among which the more common is the dripping problem of the shower head.

There are several reasons for the dripping of shower flowers:

1. Thermal expansion and cold contraction: when water is heated, dripping sometimes occurs, which will be reduced when the weather is cold and the water temperature is low, because the volume of water becomes larger and overflows when the temperature is high. Such dripping is a normal phenomenon and does not need to be treated.

2. Atmospheric pressure: sometimes when you turn off the shower head, you will find a short drip. In fact, this is caused by atmospheric pressure. When you turn off the shower head, there is still some water in it. Due to atmospheric pressure, the water cannot flow out. When the atmospheric pressure changes or the vibration destroys the balance of atmospheric pressure, the remaining water from the large nozzle will flow out. The larger the nozzle, the more likely this phenomenon is.

3. Impurities and deposits: the shower head has been used for a long time, and many impurities will be deposited in different parts. At this time, it is necessary to disassemble the shower head for cleaning.

4. Loose parts: if it is loose, check it carefully and tighten the loose parts in time.

If you know what causes the dripping of shower head, you can apply the right medicine to the case. If the atmospheric pressure parts of thermal expansion and cold contraction are loose, Shenma can ignore it. The key is to see what to do about the leakage of shower head caused by impurities and sediments, but the leakage caused by impurities and sediments should also be handled in different parts.

1. Leakage caused by impurity deposition at the steering ball of shower nozzle: unscrew the nozzle from the steering ball ring, find out the O-ring inside (this ring can prevent water leakage) or similar seals, clean the impurities on it, or replace it with a new O-ring.

2. Leakage caused by the handle of shower head: use binding band pliers to unscrew the handle of shower head from the hose. If other wrenches are used, tie the hose with tape to prevent it from being scratched. Clean the sediment around the thread on the handle, apply the adhesive used by the plumber or tie the tape used by the plumber around, turn the nozzle back and tighten it by hand.

To avoid the above problems, we should pay attention to the maintenance of shower at ordinary times:

1. Due to the long-time water supply of the sprinkler, due to the water quality. Due to environmental factors, certain scale and impurities will be produced inside the shower. The accumulation of scale and impurities to a certain extent may affect the comfort of our bath and even damage the shower. Therefore, pay attention to the proper maintenance and care of the product.

2. Remove the scale. Every six months or less, remove the shower and put it in a small basin. Water the surface and interior of the shower with edible white vinegar and soak it for 4-6 hours, and then gently wipe the water outlet on the surface of the shower with a cotton rag: reinstall the joint and pass water for a moment. Wait until the white vinegar and scale flow out with the water, so as to eliminate or reduce the impact of scale on the shower and have a certain bactericidal effect.

3. Maintenance of the electroplating surface of the faucet: often wipe the electroplating surface of the shower with a little flour with a soft cloth, and then rinse it with clean water to make the shower surface as bright as new.

4 Please pay attention to the safety of yourself and the product when disassembling the shower. The filter screen gasket cannot be used. The mesh is too large or too fine. The mesh that is too large may not be used for filtration, and the mesh that is too fine may affect the flow. The specification of the filter screen should be 40-60 mesh; Do not use strong acid when removing scale, so as not to cause corrosion to the surface of the shower; Do not disassemble the shower for maintenance. Improper disassembly will damage the appearance and internal structure of the product. 5: The service ambient temperature of the shower shall not exceed 70c. High temperature and ultraviolet light will greatly accelerate the aging of the shower and shorten the service life of the shower head. Therefore, the installation of the shower shall be far away from the electric heat sources such as Yuba as far as possible.
