American Standard, I believe 1032 approximately 7 years old. Cartridge was replaced after 'hammering' started, no more hammering but...
When the shower is running fully open, comfortably hot temp, there are no pressure issues; however when the tub component is utilized the water pressure will drop, after water temp gets comfortably hot, to a little more than a trickle. Conversely full cold water will not affect pressure.
I attempted running shower, ful and hot, without shower head, this caused the same drop in pressure. I am thinking that there is a relation to back pressure, but wondering how that could be. Filling a 6ft soaker tub takes a while this way.
