“There has been a recent boom in novelty items for the bathroom – particularly showerheads. Although these options may seem harmless, swapping to incompatible and potentially poor-quality products can create serious issues, especially if you have an electric shower.

“The sprayheads and hoses provided when you purchase your shower have been tested to ensure they are safe and optimised to work with your specific model. When you choose to replace these elements with unsuitable options, you’re at risk of water build up, increased limescale, cut-outs and even scalding if the water temperature gets too hot.

“These issues can similarly apply to hoses, so be wary of twisting and kinks as this can cause a build-up of hot water.

“Always check which accessories are appropriate for your shower type by referring to the manufacturer’s guidelines and packaging advice to ensure the right replacements are chosen and installed correctly. Triton accessories are quick and easy to fit and the correct options can be paired with most electric, mixer and digital units available in the UK.

“Prevention is often better than cure so looking after your accessories will ensure they perform at their best for as long as possible. Regular cleaning to remove limescale will keep your showerhead flowing as it should. Just insert it into a sealable plastic bag or container and fully immerse in vinegar for two hours. Upon removing, give the nozzles a quick brush or wipe to remove any remaining deposits.”
