Topic: shower water pressure Posted: 01 Apr 2017 at 3:37pm |
We have the same problem. The water pressure is low at all the faucets. We put a water regulator on the in line. Do we need one with a gauge on it?

Did you ever solve your problem? We have a similar issue too.

I agree, every year as part of winterizing. You can use hose on jet spray, but they make a very inexpensive wand that attaches to water hose to flush inside of water heater.

It's not a bad idea to drain the hot water tank occasionally. I was surprised by the amount of particulate matter that came out the anode rod hole when we drained ours to sanitize the system. I could definitely envision that causing clogs.

As the water heater anode rod ages it sheds small chunks that can clog up plumbing fixtures. The sink screen has clogged a few times for us.

Assuming you pulled the diverter knob on the bathroom sink faucet there is a on off button on the shower head you might want to to check.

Try unscrewing the "wand" and turning the water on.. see if the blockage is before the hose, or after..

Great thought mjlrpod. That would be my guess as that is the only thing between the pump and the shower outlet, as far as I know.
