    Hot water pressure
    I had a new hot water heater installed last year. Before that, the hot water pressure
    For my upstairs jacuzzi as well as all upstairs showers was great. Now it seems
    The hot water pressure is about 20% of what it used to be. Help please. What can
    I do to increase the hot water pressure. House is 7 years old. Thanks

    Immediately after the hot water heater was installed the pressure dropped
    Dramatically to all faucets, about 75% less hot water pressure. Thank you
    For answering. ED
