After the shower is turned off, the water suddenly flows, is it a quality problem?

2022.08.01
Have you encountered a similar problem? After taking a shower head and turning off the shower, it was still dripping with water. Sometimes after it has been turned off for a long time, the water suddenly comes out, but every time it stops flowing. This is how it happened? Today, let's take a look at "the sudden flow of water after the shower is turned off, is it a quality problem?"

Regarding this issue, it has always been suspected that it is the quality of the shower. In order to clarify this problem, Wei Te went to buy a brand-name shower, but this kind of situation still occurs. After consulting a professional, I figured out that the water flow after the shower was turned off was because of the water stored in the top spray and the shower pipe.

Professional introduction: In order to pursue the comfort of bathing, the current shower top spray is quite large. After use, the air pressure and atmospheric pressure inside the shower head are in a state of equilibrium, so the water inside will not flow out temporarily, and the water will flow out after a period of time when the balance is lost. This is a problem with large top spray showers. It is not that the shower is leaking or broken, so you can rest assured when you encounter this problem. If it is continuous dripping and leaking, it is a quality problem.

So what should I do if the shower is really leaking?
First analyze the factors of shower leakage, mainly as follows:
1. Shower blockage
The shower head is used for a long time, and the water output will become smaller. This is because the water quality is not good, the water contains a lot of alkali, and the scale is deposited in the water outlet, causing the shower to block. At this time, it has to be solved by the after-sales service of the shower. . Therefore, it is very important to choose a reliable seller.

2. Shower coating
Many people find that the showerhead will peel off the paint, and it will be ugly after the paint is peeled off. If you have just bought a shower that has this problem, it will affect the appearance. And some poor quality showers will also cause blockages due to peeling paint. So we have to take a closer look at the shower surface that we choose to have these problems.
When buying a shower, you must carefully observe whether the surface of the shower is smooth or not. If it is rough to the touch, it may be secondary processing.

3. The problem of shower material
Some showers are made of plastic or cast iron. The plastic shower may add a lot of waste, and the service life will not be very long. Of course, some hand showers use materials such as plexiglass, ABS, etc., which is still very good. However, it is not recommended that you choose a shower made of cast iron, which is easy to rust. Many people who chose this type of shower regretted it very much, because it didn't take long for it to rust, not to mention ugly, and it blocked the water outlet and broke the entire shower. At present, the better material is the shower head made of pure copper.


Once we know the cause, we can come up with a solution. There are mainly the following ways for shower leaks:
1. Leakage at the turning ball of the shower head
First, unscrew the shower head from the steering ball ring, find the O-ring or similar seal inside and replace it, and then screw the shower head back to its original position.

2. Leakage occurs at the joint of the shower head handle
Select the appropriate shower hose and faucet according to the specifications, replace its rubber ring, and reinstall.

3. Water leakage caused by gravel or sediment
Unscrew the shower head for cleaning, soak the parts with vinegar if necessary, and scrub the parts, taking care to avoid scratching them. If the shower head is an adjustable spray type, carefully inspect all moving parts for signs of excessive wear. If the rotary handle does not move smoothly, or if the internal cam is broken, the entire shower head needs to be replaced.

4. The fine water of the shower head becomes a mixture of thickness and fineness
The shower head is used for a long time, and the water output will become smaller. This is because the water quality is not good, the water contains a lot of alkali, and the scale is deposited at the outlet hole, causing the shower head to block. The solution is also very simple. For the shower head designed with silica gel particles, it can be gently kneaded. If the scale is serious, you can use a plastic bag to hold white vinegar, wrap the shower head and soak it for a period of time, then rinse it with water.
