    No cold water pressure
    Hello: I recently purchased a house and noticed the shower in the master bedroom has no cold water pressure. The further you turn the knob in the cold water direction, the less water comes out. My other faucets and shower in the house have no problems.

    The shower faucet (Moen) is a single handle with no tub. I'm assuming the faucet may be 10-15 years old.

    Thanks
    Jason

    If this is a single handle Moen faucet it uses a cartridge and is probably stopped up and the cartridge need replacing. The cartridge is very hard to get out and you may have to buy a tool to do it. Home Depot has them.

    What material are your pipes? How old is your home? What does the pressure gage at the pump read? What's the pump control box set at? Did you lose pressure all at once or did it happen gradually? Waiting on you. Regards, Tom,
