There is a good chance you live in a hard water area and the limescale build-up is affecting your shower.

The product is of a very high quality and is manufactured at the only facility in the UK offering a Sodium Hypochlorite product approved by the Drinking Water Inspectorate specifically for sanitisation use in hard water areas, marketed under the name TP-Chlor.
