Tap Nozzle

[goapplecalifornia]

My tap nozzle fell out the other day and I noticed that a few of the spray holes were slightly scaled up. I've cleaned the holes with a needle, but I was wondering:-

Do people use any descalers on the tap nozzle? and
Does the nozzle just push in or is it push in and twist?
Also does anyone know what O Ring to get if it needs to be replaced.

Thanks

The nozzle is just a push fit. Turn it so it is vertical then push the nozzle onto the base firmly.
Never had to use descaler, you must have hard rather than soft water.
Simple descaling, put the tap down into a container full of Coca Cola or lemonade. The citric acid will dissolve the scale. Vinegar or citric acid descaler can also be used.
Replacing O ring. Take the old one along to your local hardware store.

Many Thanks - will give that a try the next time it scales up
