The water pressure in our shower has dropped off. The rest of the faucets and bathrooms water pressure is fine.

The shower head is a hongrose. Can you recommend what to do? Is it the shower head? Pipes?

FYI, I live in Minnesota and the temperature outside has been about zero. We thought it may have something to do with the cold weather.

We appreciate any help you may have. Thanks :)

We run into this fairly frequently at our apartments. We always first check the head itself:

Remove the showerhead and check the screen and head holes for gunk buildup.

In addition to the good advice Rick has given you let me add that if there's a rubber washer in there with small holes around the edge then it's a water saver that constricts the water flow to thr shower heade. If you wish more volume just pry it out and toss it. Good luck, Tom
