Thanks! Just cleaning out the shower head helped it with the pluged tube. (That and vinegar+ and a splash of a strong liquid cleaner... ) cough — For some reason I decided (stupidity) to pour brewed coffee back into the tank and it had grounds on the bottom. Talk about a blondie moment! 😅 I'm just glad it's working, am never doing that again!
