Or anything I can retrofit.
I live in a mobile home park and the water pressure is a joke. I can't do any major repairs right now, but I would like a decent shower.
Thanks.
(and come on, lets hear um, trailer park jokes welcome. I'm white too, so get out your white trash jokes)

Really very simple. I do it to all the new shower heads I buy. Unscrew the head from the base. Look down inside the head. You will see small hole. Get a drill and drill out the hole bigger. Start with a drill bit alittle bigger than the hole. Then increase the size of the bit till you get the desired size hole for the amount of pressure you get from the head.. Works like a charm!!!!

My son bought my mother's modular home in an over 55 park. He was under 30 and had to get special permission.
You can increase pressure if your current shower head is restricting the pressure. Just change shower heads.
Otherwise it is a major project.
If the problem is the park's low water pressure, you would need to install you own cold water tank. You let the park's water gradually fill your tank, much like filling a toilet tank. Then have an automatic pump to pressurize your internal water system.
Sorry no racist or trailer trash jokes.

Trailer park? we all have to live somewhere, how old is the trailer? is there lots of minerals in the water? could be your pipes are starting to clog or does everyone have this problem? if it is city water call in, maybe there is a pressure problem, if it is a community well maybe the pump needs to be set at a higher pressure, those waterpik shower heads make it feel like there is more pressure, good luck

Just replace the shower head with one of those adjustable ones that allow you to change the spray intensity.
Hey we live in a trailer park but it is a heck of a lot nicer than the 2-story house we lived in last! I'll take a 980 square foot vinyl-sided 10-year-old singlewide over a 60-year-old asbestos-sided 800 square foot house anyday!!
Good luck with the shower head :-D

all shower heads sold in the U.S. after 1995 can only allow 3 gal per min. this is a federal law( water conservation law).....u can go buy an older head or u can drill out the plastic washer inside the shower to allow more water.......but check how many gals per min u r getting now it could be that ur water supply lines r small, most trailers use 3/8 lines..........

Get a water saver that replaces the shower head. It'll increase the pressure

If you haven't already taken the shower head off, you should do that first. There may be a water-saving gasket or a screen filter in there that can simply be removed.

Yes. If you have hard water, the head can become rusty or calcified, depending on the hardness of your water, therefore constricting your water output. A new head will give more output because it will be free of rust, calcium or lime.

a buster pump in the water line is your best bet and probably the easiest way Unless the pipes are plugged
