Yeah, I know, it's a trivial thing, but it is something that I should have done a long time ago. It started three to four years ago. Every time I was away from home for a week or more, I came home to a showerhead that had water leaking from everywhere. In the beginning, the showerhead went back to normal after one shower. After two years, it took more and more showers before the showerhead went back to normal.

In the last couple of months, the problem with the showerhead has become permanent. The problem got worse, so I took action and ordered a new showerhead. To be honest, I really don't care about which showerhead I have, so I ordered one that looked similar to the one I had.

I anticipated that the shower hose would be difficult to unscrew because it has been sitting there for 14 years. So I also ordered a new shower hose. I took a couple of pliers and went to work. Before using the pliers, I tried to unscrew the hose by hand. To my surprise, the hose came off without a hitch.

I soaked the sealing ring and the end of the shower hose in water and vinegar and went for a walk. When I returned, everything was clean and lime-free. I installed the new showerhead, and now I only have water coming out of the holes that are designed for it :-)
