Why does the cold water in your shower have no pressure but it is all right everywhere else?

it could be one of two things. either the water lines to your bath tub arn't sized properly or you have something in your water line that has pushed thruogh and got cought around your shower valve. if it's a sizing problem your tub would be at the end of the run on your system, (it would be furthest away from your water heater). If it's your valve you can shut off your water main and pull the valve stem. Then quickly turn your main on and off a couple of times to blow out any debri. THis is usually caused by sediment in the water heater that gets shaken up when the heater is filling. == Answer== If new house and always did it with slab floor, it could be crimped hot water line under slab, something in hot side of valve and if copper water lines were used, i have seen the pipe go all the way into a tee, and it was blocking the water outlet line to faucet. If it is old house it will be most likely something in hot water side of faucet. I would call plumber. There are still other things it could be like temp. valves.

No pressure for hot water in shower?
More than likely a blockage, leak, or bad installation. If some other showers, toilets, and sinks are having problems with running water then it's likely a problem with the entire water system, usually bad parts or a leak.
What is the minimum water pressure required to install a shower?
This does vary slightly according to the shower, but for a shower without a pump, using a gravity feed, a water pressure of at least 0.1 bar is recommended. If your water pressure is low you will need to install a pumped shower.
Why is it bad to flush the toilet when someone is in the shower?
Because it effects the water pressure of the shower. This causes the temperature of the water in the shower to also change.
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.
What could be wrong if when you are showering and another faucet is turned on the shower water cools?
Its a loss in water pressure to the shower.
If you replaced both cartridges on a shower valve due to very low water pressure and still no water pressure you removed cartridges and turned water on and water pressure is good?
May be build up in the valve itself or the shower head.
Are there any shower filters that don't lower water pressure?
I will say you can take a look at aquasana shower water filter.
Why is it that a shower curtain is pulled into the spray of the shower?
The flow of water from the shower creates a low-pressure area inside the shower stall, causing the shower curtain to be drawn inward due to the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the shower. This phenomenon is called the Bernoulli principle, where higher speed of a fluid (in this case, the water spray) results in lower pressure.
How can I get higher water pressure in my shower faucets?
The simplest and lowest cost solution is to replace the shower head with one designed to increase the pressure.
Just installed a new shower pressure balancing set and water leaks out the shower head when you turn the water on?
Yes and what is the question?
