If my shower pressure is low and the city says the water pressure is up to standards how can I boost it in my shower stall?

Clean out your shower head? There's a way to unscrew it so that you can clean out solidified mineral bits, etc.

Hi, killemall!

Also, is the main water supply valve to the residence, that you might have control of, turned all the way on as well as any that are connected to the hot water heater, please?

Thanks!

How old is your home and what material are your pipes? Copper. Plastic or galvanized? What brand shower valve do you have? Has it always had low pressure or did this just start? Let me know, Tom

Uhhhhhh not that dumb about the shower head it's that the main water supply pressure is low ! City supplying

Please answer my questions.

and then purchase a hose bib pressure gage, (see image) from your local hardware store and tell me what PSI is entering your house. Let's hear back from you, Tom

Is there good pressure in other plumbing fixtures ? Like Wondergirl says: remove and clean shower head. Run water w/o shower head installed. See how much flow you'll get. If satisfactory, then either remove flow restrictor from the head or buy new one.

Milo,
Did you miss this?

I'm still waiting for the OP to answer my questions. Do you have a link to that "no caulk" flange type shower drain?
