I want higher pressure just in my shower. Can I buy a new shower head or do I need a regulator? Also I want a new shower head anyways. I just want it to have higher pressure. I dont want the shower to take off my skin just dont want to have to stand under it. There arent any mineral deposits. I cleaned it out. What can I do?

OK, lets see if it works-
1) Check the bath mixer taps for any leaks, if it does you get low pressure at shower head - then fix the leaks here
2) Check the shower head regulator, when you regulate flow shouldn't be same, if this is the cause , better to change the shower head
Good Luck

You are on the right track. But, you need a "different" shower head, not just a new one. You can't increase pressure at one outlet. or all outlets without expensive equipment and plumbing. But, the right shower head can give you the desired effect.

Take the shower head completely off to see what kind of pressure you have without it.If the pressure is low your pipes are either to small going to the shower, or if their old metal pipes they may be corroding on the inside.If the pressure is good replace the shower head.good luck!

Jessica, If the water rigidity at your residence has been an identical continually, and also you've not carried out some thing specifically to regulate the water rigidity, i'm particular you're fantastic. The water rigidity & volume of water contained in the bathe is truly ok. If the water rigidity and/or volume at your kitchen sink is significantly below at your bathe, more effective than probably, the, "aerator" it really is screwed onto the end of your kitchen sink tap needs to be taken off & wiped clean out. There are some monitors interior that ingredient that may assemble bits of sand & calcium. by way of the years, it truly is going to result the water bypass out of your taps. (all of them) examine it out! good success!

you might need to look at the size of pipe bringing the water to your shower as it might be plugged or too small you might need to replace the pipe. there are some shower heads that might give you abit more power

un clog your water lines, your problem lies in the fact that you have clogged water lines, especially if they are old / and or iron the shower head is only part of the system, your water heater also is to be examined, as silt will fill it to the top if not flushed at least yearly
