Poor Shower Water Pressure

[Belle_H]

Basically what has happened, is that one of our showers isn't providing the same quality water pressure it usually does. our other shower and all other taps are fine with pressure just except the one shower. we have tried putting on a new shower head (didn't fix the issue), we have had a plumber look at it to although he only really looked behind at the filter which had some dirt and little bit of build up but again that didn't fix anything. We are suspecting it is likely the shower mixer and think we may need to swap out the cartridge. We are on tank water so our pressure is usually way stronger with that compared to mains anyway. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Belle_H 

I think you are on the  right track  re  shower mixer test take it out and see what happens to the pressure.

Well I an guessing you arnt using any line filters. So  whats  left  a kinked or squashed  pipe?   Another in line shut of tap for the bathroom?

I have seen plumbers tap when used on a tap draped across the pipe  hole by mistake and reducing the  flow by half  as a  remote possibility.

Wont  hurt to take the mixer out and flush the line a bit.  

We have a rain  event and dirty in the  water we called the water mob  they flushed the street line but we have to do our own property lines. Ie  run the taps with the filteers out. The dirt was  bad but it didnt stop the waterflow in any way.  

Sorry the plumber not  more helpfull.
