Use and Care Manual

#1 Rub the Nozzles
Many shower heads have flexible rubber nozzles. You can dislodge mineral buildup
in these nozzles by simply massaging each nozzle with your finger. You can also try
gently scrubbing the nozzles with a toothbrush.
#2 Soak the Shower Head in Vinegar
 If you prefer to leave the shower head attached to the pipe coming out of the wall, you
can fill a plastic bag with vinegar and wrap it around the shower head.
o Secure the bag around the head with a rubber band, tape, or a twist tie.
o Leave the bag around the shower head for a few hours.
o Remove the bag and turn on the water for a few minutes to clear the vinegar out of
the shower head.
 If you don't mind removing the head from the shower pipe, you can submerge the shower
head in a container full of white vinegar.
o Let the shower head soak in the vinegar for a few hours.
o Re-attach the shower head to the shower pipe and run water through the head for
a few minutes to clear out the vinegar.
#3 Clean the Filter Screen
To clean the filter screen, you may need to consult the shower head instruction ma
nual. If you didn't keep the manual, don't panic! You can usually find it on the web
site or by contacting the customer service department.
In general, the filter screen is located in the part of the shower head that connects
to the pipe. You will need to remove the shower head from the pipe to get to the f
ilter screen.
In most Waterpik® brand shower heads, the filter screen can be removed by gentl
y brushing the filter out. Or you can use tweezers/needle-nose pliers to get the scr
een out of the pivot ball.
Once the filter screen is out of the pivot ball, run the screen under water for a few
minutes to flush out any buildup. You can also use a toothbrush to gently brush o
ut mineral deposits.
Place the filter screen back into the pivot ball and re-install the shower head to the
shower pipe.
