    Pressure in bathtub/shower
    Hi,
    For about the past couple of months, I've experienced a serious decrease in water pressure to both my showerhead & my bathtub faucet. I've read a lot of things on it, so I just wanted to verify. I have no loss of temperature, but the water coming out of the drains is pathetic. The rest of the house (sinks & the other shower) seem to be find.

    What brand of faucet do you have? How old? One handle or two knobs? Just happened or was the decrease gradual? Pump or city water? I'll wait on your reply. Tom
