The faucet in my bathroom has become really slow as far as water pressure. I suspect it must be some rock chips clogging up the faucet head.
How can I remove the faucet head so I can clean up the filter? I own another faucet that easily unscrews by hand, but this one is different. I don't know if it's even possible to unscrew the head.
Please advise on what to do or what tools to use. Here are some photos of my faucet:
From below:
Some need the help of pliers(slip joints) to loosen.
Wide rubber band/s wrapped around the head should help prevent scratches.
Can probably also be cleaned if you can fix a container with some vinegar, with the head in it soaking for a bit.
Will take a bit of Macgyvering to fix something to hold it up for maybe an hour.
Make sure the drain is blocked and maybe take pictures if you take it apart
If the problem is a clogged aerator, it can be removed by unscrewing and the parts cleaned. Sometimes it is hard to remove, in which case a pair of pliers or vice grip (gently used) is in order.
The threads are probably packed with sediment from the water. Reach under the faucet head with a pair of pliers and gentle squeeze, catching the aerator. Then move the pliers in a clockwise direction, looking down. That should loosen it. If you're afraid of scratching the aerator, use a cloth around the aerator before grabbing it with the pliers.
