The lack of water pressure in the shower could be due to a clog or blockage in the showerhead or pipes specifically connected to the shower. This can restrict the flow of water and result in lower pressure compared to other areas in the house.

Why is there no water pressure in the bathtub, but plenty of water pressure everywhere else in the house?

The lack of water pressure in the bathtub could be due to a clog or blockage in the bathtub's water supply line. This can restrict the flow of water specifically to the bathtub, while other areas in the house may have normal water pressure because they are not affected by the blockage. Checking and clearing the bathtub's water supply line may help restore water pressure in the bathtub.

How do you keep shower temperature from changing when someone flushes the toilet or uses another sink?

Your water pressure is low. Consequently, when cold water is diverted to another application such as a toilet or a sink, the amount of cold water available at the shower mixing valve decreases as the low pressure is unable to keep up with the shower's demand. This causes a hotter mixture at the shower head. The solution is to either improve the cold water supply to the shower or to replace the shower control valve with a temperature compensating type. Pressure balancing is the cheapest and simply changes the shower temperature according to the pressure in the cold and hot water lines. When the toilet or sink is used, reduced pressure to the shower valve is detected and the valve reduces the hot water pressure, thereby maintaining the temperature. The more sophisticated approach is a thermostatic shower control valve. These are significantly more expensive, but will not reduce the pressure at the shower head (a drawback of the pressure balancing valve). The thermostatic valve would be required when one shower control valve is operating several shower heads. Moen, Kohler and Delta all make both types of control valves. They can be readily obtained from a local plumbing supply house.


How can you get even pressure from hot and cold to a shower?

if all the pipes in the house are the same size the easy answer is adjust the outflow valve on the hotwater tank until it matches the cold water pressure.

Will too much water pressure to the house cause the shower diverter valve to not work properly?

You should not really have over 80 pounds of pressure. But a lot of people do. NO -- even with high pressure it should work ok


How much water flows from the shower head per minute?

An average flow rate cannot be determined as there are many different shower heads and each house in every country has different water pressure and not everyone may use full pressure when using a shower. But, approximately said that the average flow rate of shower water 2.5 gallons per minute at a water pressure of 80 pounds per square inch.

How do you fix a shower that has no hot water pressure when there is hot water pressure everywhere else in the house?

Replace the shower valve (faucet). I would call a plumber to check it out. Because there may be another reason, it depends on other things besides faucet. Like a crimped water line under slab floor, if you have copper water lines, i have seen the cooper pipe go all the way into a tee and block off the outlet to the faucet. If it has been like i have mentioned above it would have been like this since day one. It would help if people would tell how old there house is and how long has the problem been going on. And yes it could be very much the faucet itself if it just starting do it. IN ADDITION: This also depends if the shower has a mixer or tap (faucet) installed, as the question didnt stipulate this. The rest of the house could have taps and the shower have a mixer. Mixers need a minimum pressure of 400 kpa from the hot water tank (geyser) to work. If the hot water tank is of a lower pressure this would explain for its poor performance.


What causes minimal water flow from a shower?

Usually clogged shower heads. Turn water off and shower off. Screw shower nozzle off by hand or with pipe wrench. Turn water and shower on with nozzle head off if water flows clean or replace nozzle. If water pressure is still too low with nozzle off check shut off valve and open valve more. Make sure main water shut off for your house is open enough to allow adequate water pressure.
