    Low water pressure
    I have a well and am going to remodel the bathroom. Is there anything to increase the pressure to the shower because we want to put in more than one shower head. Thank you

    Let's get you more house pressure.
    First turnoff the power at the breaker box, then pull the cover off the pressure switch,(see image) and you will see two spring loaded bolts secured with nylon nuts. One tall, one short. To increase the cut in pressure, turn the nut on the tall bolt down. To increase the cut out pressure,(that's the one that will give you more pressure) turn the nut on the short bolt down. This should give you the additional pressure you desire. Good luck

    When you plumb for multi-outlet shower, you have to maintain good water volume to get adequate water flow out of each shower head. If you have 1/2" valves, bring in at least 3/4" hot/cold water to shower area and then distribute from it to each valve. If you have 3/4" valves than bring in 1" cold water supply and leave 3/4" for hot. If you plan on installing body sprays, make sure you loop-plumb it so you get even water flow out of each body spray head.
