    Good water pressure at one end of house/shower but not other... help
    Hi there friends,

    Ok, So I have a hot water system at one of the house. The bathroom at that end has excellent pressure but not in out bathroom about 2 meters away from the system... Is it possible to but a "booster" or something similar to get better pressure?

    Thanks for your help,

    HI Chris...

    Could be other issues here. Could be that some shutoffs are only partially opened. Could be that the aerators at the faucets are clogged... that kind of stuff.

    Look around at the pipes and see if you find any shutoffs... check to be sure they are fully opened. Next, check under the sinks and make sure the shutoffs there are fully opened. If you have an access panel at the shower/tub, check there for shutoffs, etc.

    Also, pull the aerator off the faucet(s) and clean it.

    Let me know what you find,OK?
