How to Clean a Clogged Nozzle for Your Nebia Merritt Handshower Shower

If you're experiencing low water pressure or uneven spray patterns with your Merritt Shower, a clogged nozzle may be the cause. Follow these simple steps to restore optimal performance and ensure a smooth showering experience.

Step 1: Clean the Filters

Turn off the water supply to your shower.
Remove the handshower from the dock, unscrew the dock, and both hose connections.
Locate the filter, typically found at the base of the handle connection point.
Backwash the filter by rinseing under warm water to remove debris.
Reinstall the filter and reattach the showerhead.

NOTE: If you have hard water, soak the filter in a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution for 15-30 minutes to break down mineral buildup.

NOTE: For a deeper clean, you can use this method on the entire showerhead as well.

Step 2: Brush Clean the Nozzles

Dip an old toothbrush in white vinegar.
Gently scrub the silicone nozzles in a circular motion to break up any mineral deposits.
Rinse the showerhead thoroughly with warm water.
Repeat as needed for stubborn buildup.

Important: Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as they can damage the nozzles.

Step 3: Pick Clean the Nozzles

Use a plastic toothpick (not wood) to carefully into the clogged nozzles to clear any stubborn blockages safely.
Gently move the toothpick in and out to dislodge debris.
Repeat the process for all nozzles, ensuring each one is clear.
Run warm water through the showerhead to flush out loosened particles.

Final Check

Turn the water back on and test your shower to ensure proper spray performance.
If issues persist, repeat the cleaning process or check for additional hose or water supply blockages.

By following these simple maintenance steps, you’ll keep your Merritt Shower performing at its best. Regular cleaning helps prevent clogs, extends the life of your showerhead, and ensures a consistent shower experience.
