    No Water Pressure In Bathtub
    I have no water pressure (hot or cold) in the bathtub of one of the bathrooms in the second level of my home. I have pressure in every other faucet in my home except for that one bathtub/shower. The sink and toilet located in the same bathroom work fine. The bathtub faucet just stopped working one day with no signs of low pressure etc. There is no noise from the pipes when the faucet handle is pulled to turn on the water. What could be the problem?

    How old is home? Does it have copper or galv piping going to second floor? How old is tub fixture?

    The home is 21 years old. It has copper piping going to the second floor. The tub fixture has been in the home since I moved in 8 years ago, it may be the original fixture.

    This definitely sounds like fixture. I would change out fixture with a name brand, American Standard, Kolher, etc. Good luck, John ;)

    It may be nothing more than the filter in the bathtub spout.
