'Duschkopf' (showerhead) consists of 'Dusch-' (shower) and 'Kopf' (head). 'Dusch-' refers to the shower; 'Kopf' here denotes the top or outer end of an object.
Zum Reinigen kannst du den Duschkopf vom Schlauch abschrauben.
You can unscrew the showerhead from the hose to clean it.
Common phrases include 'den Duschkopf reinigen' (to clean the showerhead), 'den Duschkopf entkalken' (to descale the showerhead), and 'den Duschkopf austauschen' (to replace the showerhead). 'Entkalken' (descaling) is especially important in areas with hard water, which has a high mineral content.
Wir müssen den Duschkopf regelmäßig entkalken, damit alle Öffnungen frei bleiben.
We need to descale the showerhead regularly to keep all the holes clear.
When describing where the water comes from, you often use 'aus dem Duschkopf' (out of the showerhead). 'Aus' (out of) takes the dative case; typical verbs used with it are 'kommen' (to come), 'fließen' (to flow), and 'tropfen' (to drip).
Obwohl der Wasserhahn zugedreht ist, tropft noch Wasser aus dem Duschkopf.
Although the tap is turned off, water is still dripping from the showerhead.
