Why does my shower head have low pressure, while the separate tub has great pressure?

By admin | April 1, 2009

Joe asked:


I’ve changed out my shower head and the old and new have the same lack of pressure. My tub, in the same bathroom, has great pressure. What can I do to increase the pressure to my shower head?

      All new shower heads have a built in water restricter that keeps you from wasting water. That’s why your shower pressure stinks.

      All shower heads are different. You probably have a cheap shower head, that has slow water pressure to save water. Go to Home Depot, and buy a new one. Just look at the box or package, and check it’s PSI Pressure (I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called). Good luck.
