    Will having no water heater installed cause water to not flow to showers?
    Water works fine in sinks and toilets. Just a very slow drip in the tub and showers. Any input on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Pistol...

    Most tub/shower valves are pressure and temperature balanced so if you have no hot water flow you will get no cold water flow, or at a maximum, you will get a trickle as you mention... ;)

    As soon as hot water flow is restored you will see the tubs/showers working fine again!

    Back to you...
