We also live in a very hardwater area and have the little rubber nozzles on our rain showers. When I notice that a few of the individual nozzles are blocked I just wiggle them with a finger and the nozzles clear. I haven't had to descale yet (about 20 months) which is great compared to the old shower head.

Thank you

• Would a Chrome plated solid brass head be better than a chrome in this instance?

Hi there, we supply shower heads with anti-limescale silicon nozzles that are specifically designed for hard water areas.
