    Won't won't come out of pipe for shower
    The problem is that the water won't come out of the shower head. I took the shower head off and turned the water on and it doesn't seem to be the shower head. Just a stream of water comes out of the pipe.

    Do I need to get a plummer?


    Thanks,

    Your question's confusing. You say
    the water won't come out of the shower head
    and yet
    I took the shower head off and turned the water on and it doesn't seem to be the shower head. Just a stream of water comes out of the pipe.
    You say that you get a stream of water out of the open shower arm. If you get water out of the pipe then you have a clogged shower head. Soak it in Vinegar or 409 and if you still can't get it to work replace it. Good luck, Tom

    With the shower head removed you say Just a stream of water comes out of the pipe, Your question is confusing, if the water flow is good with out the shower head, the shower head is clogged then follow Tom's advice, if no water, come back to us and tell us if you have tub and shower or shower only, Thanks.
