    Low water pressure
    What can be done to increase or correct a problem with low/poor water pressure in a
    Shower? The pressure seems to be fine everywhere else in the house. The two sinks
    And bathtub in the same bathroom have plenty of pressure as does an outside faucet
    On the wall outside of the shower stall.

    Thanks

    Pull your shower head and check for debris on the screen. If it does not have a filter screen then you may want to buy a new shower head. While you have the shower head off turn the water on to see if you have adequate pressure.

    The newer shower and the newer tub faucets are coming with smaller ports. They figured out we were removing the flow restricters in the shower head.
