    Low hot water pressure in bathtub
    I had the same problem a sudden drop in pressure in my bathtub but no where else? I removed the plastic cover on the faucet which allows you to lift a retaining pin and remove the guts.I found where the ball valve opens and closes it was slicing small amounts of plastic which accumulated and cut off flow.My faucet was a Moen.
