What would cause the cold water in the shower to have zero pressure and the hot water pressure to be fine?

It depends on the faucet. On the older type (washer and seat) could be a washer came off and has jammed in the hole. On the newer pressure balancing type it may be a stuck pressure balancing spool. If you are serious about doing this yourself you are going to have to provide answers as to what make/model the faucet is if known or provide a picture link to ID the fixture. You may want to post this on the forum at www.plbg.com as there is going to have to be some interaction on this and that forum is better suited for that. There you will get an answer to your question in probably 1/2 hour or less. Which will be desirable with a question you need an answer to cause the water to your house is shut off.

What would cause toilet water to appear rusty brown?
Iron in the water would cause rusty stains in the toilet.
Why does lowered air pressure allow water to boil at room temperature?
Less force pushes down on the liquid, making it easier for gas to escape
Which temperature change would cause the volume of a sample of an ideal gas to double when the pressure of the?
For the pressure to remain the same, the temperature would double if the volume also doubled.
A quantity of heleum is collected over water at 70 degrees celsius and the mixture has a pressure of 89.9 kPa what is the partial pressure of water vapor?
i would love to answer that, but it's your homework.
What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?
An increase in temperature or a decrease in volume would call the pressure to increase. Apex- increasing the number of gas particles
What would cause low pressure in a shower when you have replaced the hot water line out of the water heater?
you have trash in your line take the shower head off and remove trash or possibly in water valve at shower
What would cause temperature and pressure fluctuation in the shower when no other water source is on?
My first thought is a leaky hot water line.
Why would you use a shower pump?
You would use it to deliver a constant pressure at the shower-head, in situations where the water pressure is either low, or fluctuates.
Why would you lose pressure in your shower head when the pressure in the tub is fine?
There is a screen and/or a water saver in the shower head. The screen may be plugged with sediment from in the water.
You have lost hot water pressure in your shower but not in your sinks what would cause this?
A dirty or clogged screen can cause the low water presser remove shower head and clean. If not it could be calcium deposits built up on shower head if so soak shower head in a cleaning solution for several hours if that dose not work buy a new shower head. (note some shower heads have a low flow re-stricter in some cases you can remove this and get more water pressure)
Would having air in one's pipes cause a reduction in hot water pressure when taking a shower?
== Answer== I don't think so, but get the air out of lines to make sure.
Why do your shower curtains wrap around your legs when you turn the water pressure on higher?
Haha I doubt that there is any "official" answer for this but I would have to say that the wind caused by the falling water would cause the shower curtain to blow back and forth. Shower curtains are also made to stick to water so that they will stick to the bath tub so I guess if your legs are wet, it will stick to them too.
What would cause sudden water pressure drop?
Some causes for a sudden water pressure drop: 1) A big leak on the main supply line. 2) one or more faucets or shower heads opened on the same water line. 3) A utility water pump failure.
What shower heads have the strongest spray for a really good shower?
The force of the spray from a shower head has more to do with the water pressure delivered by your plumbing. Some shower heads do have a valve that allows pressure to build in the shower head, thus delivering a more powerful spray, but sufficient water pressure would be necessary from the source. Visit the home improvement store and talk about the various options with a knowledgeable salesperson.
What would cause the shower head to leak when the shower pin is not pulled?
Seats in the main valve body are leaking by, allowing water to go to the shower head.
What would cause low water pressure in the showers and no where else in the house?
Check the shower head and clean and flush it. It may just be a little particle of junk in the head restricting your flow
Why would there be great water pressure in an upstairs bath tub and almost no pressure in the adjacent shower when both use the same access pipe from the basement?
Remove the shower head on the shower and see if it is plugged. Run the water with the shower head off and see if the pressure is better. Depending on where you live there may be a water saving feature on the shower head (mandated by law) for water consevation. Low flow shower heads often have a restricter in them. Delta has a brass washer with a very tiny hole in it and Moen has a rubber plug with 3 small holes in it.
