    Hi Mklrcs

    Remove the shower head and see if the shower filter screen is clogged... ;)

    Start there and let me know how you make out, OK?

    Believe it or not your pressure is probably fine but your VOLUME is down to almost nothing due to a clogged mixing valve or cartridge. Can you tell whay valve you have and we will show you how to clear it.

    MKL if you don't come back we can't help you. Where do you live, shower pumps are almost totally non-existent in the USA but more common in UK.
