    No pressure in tub/shower, fine everywhere else
    I've read a few posts regarding sinks with no pressure, but have not found anything regarding tubs. From what I have read, there has been mention of cleaning the aerator? How do you do this? And could this be my problem? Are there other issues that I should check for? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jan, Your bathtub does't have a aerator. Has any work been done on your pipes or has the city shut down the main for repair? The same principle applies to tub valves as to any other valve that you have. What's the brand name of your tub valve? Regards, Tom

Tub won't drain, other fixtures are fine... [ 5 Answers ]

We've a full bath (combo shower/tub, lav and toilet) where the tub either does not drain at all, or will take 48 hours to finally go down (when aided by chemicals I know I should not be using).
