stuck valve lime scale
Anyone got any ideas on how I can free up a 3 position valve on a
shower unit locked with limescale. Position 1 = normal shower OK Position 2 = hand held spray OK Position 3 = spray bars ( unable to turn valve to this position) thanks Andy |

If it's over an enameled steel bath, be careful to keep the descaler off the enamel as it will destroy the polished surface. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
