How often should you descale the shower head?
Every three months. It goes on the list when you tell it the shower has a screen or a curtain.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
A shower head that sprays sideways has scale in the holes, not a fault. A bag of white vinegar tied over it overnight gets to the holes you cannot reach, which is all of them.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Clean the shower head”, every three months. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
