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 else can I help you with?
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?
The vapor pressure of water at 70 degrees Celsius is approximately 23.76 kPa. To find the partial pressure of water vapor in the mixture, subtract this vapor pressure from the total pressure of 89.9 kPa. Therefore, the partial pressure of water vapor would be 89.9 kPa - 23.76 kPa = 66.14 kPa.
What happens to water at 100C as pressure is increased from pressure 0.8 (ATM) to 1.2 pressure (ATM)?
As pressure increases from 0.8 ATM to 1.2 ATM, the boiling point of water also increases. Therefore, at 100°C and 0.8 ATM, water would boil, but at 1.2 ATM, the water would need to be heated to a higher temperature to reach the new boiling point under the increased pressure.
What is the vapor pressure of a water solution in which the molefraction of HgCl2 is 0.163 at 25C?
To calculate the vapor pressure of the water solution with a mole fraction of HgCl2 of 0.163 at 25°C, you would need to use Raoult's Law. The vapor pressure of the solution would be equal to the mole fraction of water multiplied by the vapor pressure of pure water at that temperature. The vapor pressure of HgCl2 can be ignored since its mole fraction is given.
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
What phase is water in at 1 ATM pressure and 150oc?
Gaseous. If that is 150 degrees C, that would be steam.
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.
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)
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.
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 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 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 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
If a flow switch on a pumped shower does not work what would be the result?
If a flow switch on a pumped shower fails, the system may not activate the pump, leading to inadequate or no water flow when the shower is in use. This can result in a lack of water pressure, making the shower unusable. Additionally, continuous operation of the pump without proper flow detection could cause overheating or damage to the pump. Overall, the shower would not function as intended, resulting in user frustration.
