Regular maintenance of a shower ensures its longevity and optimal functioning. In this context, descaling the shower is an essential part of bathroom maintenance.

The need for regular maintenance

It is necessary to descale the shower regularly for various reasons:

• Maintaining water purity: limescale buildup can degrade water quality and cause health problems, including skin irritation.

• Maintaining optimal water flow: a limescale-covered shower head can reduce water flow, making showering less enjoyable and less efficient.

• Increase the longevity of appliances: regular maintenance helps prevent premature abrasion of the walls, faucet, and mixer, thereby avoiding repair or replacement costs.

• Save water and energy: a properly maintained shower uses fewer resources, which is good for the environment and your finances.

The effects of limescale buildup

If the shower is not descaled regularly, limescale buildup can cause various problems:

• On the walls: limescale can cause white marks and stains on the walls, which detracts from the appearance of your shower and makes it more difficult to clean.

• On the shower head: a dirty shower head can reduce water flow, making showering less enjoyable and less effective. In addition, limescale buildup can block the water jets, causing uneven water distribution and pressure issues.

• Regarding the mixer tap: limescale buildup inside the mixer tap can lead to reduced pressure and poor temperature control. Over time, this could damage the temperature control device and result in repair or replacement costs.
