How can you increase the hot water pressure in your bathtub?
If the pressure problem is in the shower try removing the shower head but leave the shower arm in place. Then turn the water on and see if you have a good flow of water with no shower head in place. Sometimes the shower head gets clogged with a mineral deposit which needs to be disloved with something like CLR (brand name). Some bath faucets have a screen which can be unscrewed and cleaned as well but his is rare. If thhese checks do not help you will probably need a plumber to check if there is anything that can be done such as replacing pipes which may be clogged with deposts.
How does an electric shower heat up so fast?
Electric showers only take water from the mains cold water supply. They heat the water when you turn the shower on, by passing it over a heating element inside the shower - in a similar way to how a kettle works. When you shower, you don't use up and stored hot water - so electric showers are ideal for families and households where there is a limited supply of hot water. Electric showers are always ready to use, any time of the day or night

Does water pressure need to build up after you turn the water valve off because you had half the water pressure you did when you turned the water valve back on to your sink?
No, water pressure is immediate. If you replaced the sink faucet you probably ended up with one of the "low flow" faucets that are being produced to save water. Sometimes they can be taken apart and "encouraged" to let more water through. if the valve had no been used in awile the gasket will stick when you turn it off and back on replace the valve with a quarter turn ball type valve and you wont have this problem again
Why would there be water on main level but no water on second level?
Do you mean water leak or water pressure at the faucet? If you are not getting water thru the pipes you may have low pressure, or there is some blockage in the pipes preventing the water from flowing. Lots of times dirt gets in the small holes in the shower head and the sinks faucet (right where the water comes out). You will need to turn the water off in the basin or the shower. Next, take a pair of pliers and remove the shower head, or the basin's spout head. Look in the piece you removed. Is there dirt in it? Clean it or replace the part. Turn the water back on. Hopefully it was only debris blocking your water flow. The entire faucet will not have to be removed. Only unscrew the spout's aerator head., or the showere head.
