singing shower head

[klink]

I have a water saver shower head in our shower - it sings as the water pressure goes up and down - it is a high pitched sound - we have a country well system with a submergable pump any help would be appreciated.

Some of the old shower heads had a limiter, i.e., a washer with a small hole in it that fit in the female portion of the shower head where it screws onto the shower outlet. If so, just remove this washer. Otherwise, get a new shower head.

have you tried soaking it in CLR?

How about some background vocals, or piano accompaniment?

Does it sound like Allison Krauss? If so I would like to buy it. I think she is awesome.

Our shower heads do this also. I think this is pretty much normal with a submersible well pump. The only time they don't sing is when:

Wife doesn't flush the toilet.
Washer isn't running.
Dishwasher isn't running.
Wife isn't taking a shower at the same time.
Automatic horse waterer isn't filling up.
Water softener/ water treatment system isn't back flushing.

Pretty sure those are the lyrics to Taylor Swift's next country hit...with the word "love" slipped in there somewhere.

If it's in a tub, try pulling the knob on the diverter valve that swaps water from the spigot to the shower head a little more firmly.

Where we used to live a flushed toilet would get the person in the shower scalded. Singing shower heads were a welcome change.

Might check the faucet tip. A loose tip will make some strange sounds. The hot is the most likely, the heat makes the rubber get softer.

If that happens here, I'm doing the singing! :thumbsup:
