Remove the head and run the water to flush the line. Clean out the head and replace. My first question is why is there sand and rocks in your water line? Call your water supplier too.
There are rocks and sand in all of my faucet heads because we are on well water. So I'm asking how do I get the rocks and sand out of my shower head and you tell me to "clean out the head and replace." Good thought, Duh. HOW??? It doesn't come out.
