Embarassing Question About the Head

Is one thread.

search the forum with the world 'head'
and go from there.
Not knowing your level of expertise, I'll run thru the basic steps.
Allow white distilled vineger to sit in the bowl and soak before pumping it a couple of times to soak some more then wash bowl and flush.
If that fails to work then it may be time to rebuild the head and replace the plumbing that runs from the bowl to the pump.
Always allow vineger to soak in the two inch hose that runs from the head to the anti-syphon valve at least once a week.
Always flush a lot of water thru the system with each use.
Lubricate the pump weekly with a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
