Typically with shower heads, my rule of thumb is.... Greater the surface area, the worse the pressure. If it is a multiple setting shower head, try a different setting or try a smaller shower head.

Hot water pressure is weak. Shower head isn't clogged. Cold water pressure is good. How do I increase the hot water pressure?

Is the hot water pressure good at other fixtures in the house? I'm guessing your newer valves have a scolding adjustment that is set very low. Check the instructions that came with the valve assembly.

I have bought several shower heads as the spray pressure is low but none have helped. The pressure is ok on low setting on half heat but too cold. On full heat its too hot on min setting. Help plz ?

The problem is that all shower heads sold now have to be low water volume. You can take the restrictor out and see if that helps. Look for a blue or white plug type insert in the fixture that has a slot on it. Pull it out and you should be good.

Why water drizzle when showering?

There can be various reason of water drizzle, the main reasons are:

1. Low water pressure, it's the main reason for water drizzling. Check the water pressure of your house and if it's loo low then fix it.

2. Rust in your shower head, if your shower heads is full of rust it can be a reason for water drizzling. Clean your shower head nicely to remove those.

Thanks.

On OpulenceTM SHOWER Trim Kit w/8incg Sunflower Showerhead, the water presure is too low on both hot & cold, seems like there isn't sufficent water to supply the 8inch head. the model number is 502057BNT....

Either this is a consequence of having a "low-flow" shower head, or the pipes are too small or have too many bends and elbows to support the flow rate required at 65 PSI for such a large shower head. What is the water pressure at the shower head fitting while the shower is running? It won't be 65 PSI, but it shouldn't be below the recommended inlet pressure for the unit.

Have a shower only no tub. replaced both the hot and cold stems because shower was dripping and water pressure was low. Thought if I replaced the water pressure would return. Tightened the top nut before...

Take the shower head off and see if the pressure is better or the same. If it is the same then you will need too look up-stream for blockage in the water lines. If it is better then replace or clean out the holes in the shower head. It may also have a filter screen before the shower head.

Low water pressure from shower head with the shower head removed

If you have good pressure at the water faucet close to the shower and low at the shower then the shower valve needs rebuilt. If you have low pressure at all then start going down the line toward the water service coming into the house looking for where the low pressure starts in the distribution system and you should be able to isolate the problem.

My water pressure is very low from the original install is there a way to adjust the faucet to allow a better pressure flow

Your issue could be caused by the water restrictor in the shower head. To know for sure, remove the shower head and then turn the water on.

Very tough water restrictions have manufacturers using plastic water restrictors in the shower heads.

Although you are not supose to, some shower heads can be taken apart to modify, or remove the restrictor.

I hope this helps you.

Shower head

There is a California water saver on it that can be removed, just a little piece of plastic that covers the opening. Why do you have low pressure? Are you on city water? Well? Jet pump? Turn up the pressure cut off. Check it out.
