Fixing plumbing issues in your house is not an easy task, so to prevent disasters from happening you should always seek advice from a professional instead of trying to fix it all by yourself. To make matters easier, a plumber NegativePositivePrimitive decided to share some valuable tips to help people out. "Too many times a simple problem becomes an expensive mess. A lot of plumbing issues can be solved easier and less expensively if inexperienced homeowners didn't try and save a buck. Plumbers are here to help. Don't be afraid to call one." he said.

Vinegar also breaks down the calcium and it's cheaper. Put vinegar in a plastic bag around the shower-head. Secure it with rubber bands all night. The calcium should be gone however if it's really bad, you might need to do that a few more times. Seriously, vinegar is AMAZING! Vinegar and baking soda
I also recommend buying a single lever mixer tap. Those are very common in the northern Europe but in most other countries people still like to use two taps (hot and cold) and mix the right temperature manually. I have never understood why they still like to do that even though single lever mixer taps have been available many decades.
Put the roll of extra tape in the toolbox where you can easily find it, along with the flow restricted showerhead that you replaced with a 5-setting one. That way you won't have to buy new ones when you move. Then you can take your fancy massaging showerhead to the new place and install it there.
Not true for Moen. When I pruchased my house every plumbing fixtures were Moens and one day the shower handle broke. They wouldn't replace it without the receipt. When I told them it came with the house so I had no receipt, there was nothing they could do even though it says Moen on it.
