    Shower water pressure reduced since sprinkler went off.
    I was taking a shower while the sprinklers were on. I do not have a sprinkler system, but a series of hoses on timers. The sprinkler turned off, and the pressure in the shower went way down. The water pressure in my shower has never returned to normal. Do you know what caused this and if I can fix it?


    Thank you!

    I know it feels like pressure but it is actually a reduced volume. Was the bathroom sink also affected?

    Remove shower head, run without head installed. Clean filter screen inside shower head threaded mount, reinstall. See if that helped

    Back to you
