My shower head is pretty much stopped up. Likely my hard well water. With
the head off I seem to get ample water flow. Can I salvage it or is it not
worth the trouble? Maybe some Lime Away or HCL based toilet bowl cleaner?
Or maybe they are too cheap to mess with? After I post this I'll have to
Google Walmart and see what they cost.

Suggestions?

TIA

CLR, or even vinegar. DON'T use HCL.

WHAT might GO wrong, USING HCL as a SHOWER head
CLEANER?

-OK Class Clown.
Hydrochloric acid can badly pit the finish and disolve zinc (pot
metal) parts commonly used to make things like shower heads.. It will
also strip chrome from brass. Using Hydrochloric acid to remove lime
scale from chromed plumbing fixtures is an extremely stupid thing to
even consider, much less recommend.
