I have read some of the other low pressure shower issues posted here but none seem quite the same. I don't have a one valve or three valve system. Mine is a two valve shower system... hot and cold. It is a shower, not a tub/shower.
My problem is that the hot water pressure is really bad. I suspect that old broken pieces of rubber washer/seats are clogging the hot water line downstream of the hot water valve (house built in late 1960;s). I just don't know how to clear the clog shy of tearing out the manifold and replacing. I could use some ideas. Thanks. :confused:

Hi Mollie,
Have you tried shutting off the water and opening up the hot water side of the shower valve and then turning the water back on to flush out whatever's in there? Regards, Tom

I haven't. I'll try it. I'm not sure if that will help, though. The most likely blockage is old rubber... wouldn't that jam it up even more?

Hey Duane,

You haven't much choice here. You either flush the pipes or learn to kive with it.
