    Low hot water pressure in house
    Hot water pressure low from relatively new gas hot water heater. House built in 1914... not the best in pipes, but any ideas on improving pressure. Have good valve from water pipe.
    Suggestions?:confused:

    Thanks Scotty,

    "Hot water pressure low from relatively new gas hot water heater. House built in 1914...not the best in pipes, but any ideas on improving pressure. Have good valve from water pipe.

    Your house hase galvanized piping that has built up so muchn mineral on the pipe walls that it can no longer supply the volume and pressure that you desire. Time to "bite the bullet" and consider repiping the house.
    There just isn't any "magic fix" for your problem except new pipes. Good luck, Tom
