Good morning... all of sudden the water pressure in my shower has dropped... hot and cold however, less pressure with hot. I am not sure what could be causing this. I have always noticed that when I turn it all the way on hot I do not have a lot a pressure but not it is all around low. I really don't know what to do... please help :confused:

Thanks,
Dmfj

Pull the shower head and you will find a ru8bber washer with holes around the edge. Pry it out and toss it It's a water saver that restricts the flow. While the shower head's off turn bon the hot and cold. Strong stream? No?
Then shut the water off and pull the cartridge, Check and clean the in-ports. Now turn the water back on for a minute to flush out the supplies and valve body. Reassemble and try it now. Let me know, Tom

I did what you suggested and removed the washer... the pressure went up just a little bit in the shower head however, there is still no pressure in the neck. Any suggesstions??
