    Hot water Pressure
    The hot water pressure in the showers is bad. The hot water pressure in the sinks in the house seem to be fine. We don't run out of hot water we just don't get enough pressure from the hot water... the cold water pressure is good.

    What brand shower valves do you have? Are they pressure or temperature controlled? How old are they? Do you flush your water heater on a maintenance schedule to remove mineral build up? Back to you, Tom
